    South Australia emergency services live audio and pagers

    This is something which could be useful going into fire season here in South Australia. It is a feed from the SA government trunk radio network.

    I will see if there are more feeds like this that also include the regional and remote area trunks. This sounds like the Adelaide CBD feed.
