The Brisbane entertainer rose to national fame in the 1990s as the star of the children’s program Agro’s Cartoon Connection.
Agro’s Cartoon Connection across the seven years of the show which ran from 1990 – 1997, filmed predominantly at BTQ7.
The afternoon show was co-hosted by Ann-Maree Biggar, Terasa Livingstone, Holly Brisley, with Ranger Stacey Thomson (pictured left).
Dunn (pictured right) was also a major figure in Queensland radio, helping lead B105’s Morning Crew during a dominant run in Brisbane breakfast ratings.
Across a career spanning decades in television, radio and live entertainment, his sharp wit and irreverent humour left a lasting mark on Australian kids television and made Agro one of the country’s most recognisable characters.
