Rockit Returns

Rockit is returning to ABC Island from the fifth of August, at the usual time of 8:30pm AEST (Melbourne, Australia). Rockit is a Music Quiz show and questions are usually on songs from the 70s and 80s. If you think you know a lot about music, why not have a go. I'll see you then.

Something not working?

If you spot something that doesn't work on the Island, or isn't quite right, Please let me (Wolfie Rankin) or any of the Admins know about it, thanks.

Get around by Runeport

Runeports resemble manhole covers, they provide quick transport all over the island, there's one just here. To use it, just click on it, select your location from the menu, and when the runeport glows red, just sit on it, easy as!
