Podcast appearances and mentions of Alice Springs

Aged 17, Chris 'Brolga' Barns was meant to be the 'bird guy' at a new zoo in Broome. A cough in his keeper's house alerted him to a kangaroo joey called Josie, who needed four-hourly feeds and help with the toilet. From then on he was hooked.Brolga knew early on he wanted to make a living working with animals.After meeting Josie he began to rescue other joeys left alive in their mothers' pouches after the large animals had been hit by cars.Word spread about his passion for orphaned joeys, and he started an education centre in an old double-decker bus.In 2013 the BBC made a documentary about Brolga, Kangaroo Dundee, which became a worldwide hit.Brolga and his wife Tahnee now run a hospital and rescue centre outside Alice Springs.Further informationOriginally broadcast October 2018.Read more about Brolga's Kangaroo Sanctuary.2025 update: since Sarah's original conversation with Brolga, the mighty Roger has passed away, at the age of 12.A new Australian movie, Kangaroo, based on Brolga's life and the sanctuary, is due for release in September.Standout story – Belinda TerryHear Belinda Terry, ‘Nocka' Peoples, Cheryl Thompson, Elizabeth 'Thumper' Clark in a special night of storytelling from Muttaburra.https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/conversations/muttaburra-stories-conversations-in-the-shearing-shed/7788918You can read all about the Conversations origin story on the ABC News website.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08-03/richard-fidler-reflects-on-20-years-of-conversations/105495784This episode was produced by Nicola Harrison.

Depuis Berlin, il veille sur l'héritage d'un photographe qui n'a jamais cessé de troubler le regard.Matthias Harder dirige la Fondation Helmut Newton. Il en est aussi le curateur en chef. Nommé par Helmut quelques mois avant son décès, puis accompagné par le regard de June, il orchestre depuis des années les expositions, les publications, les archives - mais surtout, il façonne une mémoire vivante. Celle de Helmut Newton, bien sûr, mais aussi celle de June Newton, Photographe elle aussi. Plus discrète, mais tout aussi précise, sous le nom d'Alice Springs, elle a construit une œuvre à part entière.On s'est retrouvés à Arles, dans la cuisine de Julia de Bierre, fondatrice de la Galerie Huit. Loin des grandes institutions, on a parlé de photographie, de regard, de pouvoir, de tendresse aussi. Et de cette ligne fine entre fascination et inconfort. Une plongée lucide dans les coulisses de la photographie contemporaine, entre passion, responsabilité et mémoire.Dans cette conversation, nous parlons longuement de ce photographe qui a bousculé les codes, imposé une esthétique aussi radicale qu'irrévérencieuse, tout autant que de la présence fondamentale d'Alice Springs.Un échange amical et généreux. Et cette intimité particulière que seule la radio permet, quand la voix devient le lieu du partage.English version :From Berlin, he watches over the legacy of a photographer who never stopped unsettling the gaze.Matthias Harder is the director and chief curator of the Helmut Newton Foundation. Appointed by Helmut just a few months before his death, and later accompanied by June's sharp eye, he has been curating exhibitions, publications, and archives for years — but above all, he has been shaping a living memory.The memory of Helmut Newton, of course — but also that of June Newton, herself a photographer. More discreet, yet equally precise. Under the name Alice Springs, she built a body of work all her own.We met in Arles, in the kitchen of Julia de Bierre, founder of Galerie Huit. Far from the major institutions, we spoke about photography, about the gaze, about power — and tenderness, too. About that delicate line between fascination and discomfort.A clear-eyed dive into the backstage of contemporary photography, where passion, responsibility and memory intertwine.In this conversation, we speak at length about a photographer who broke all the rules and carved out a style both radical and irreverent — as well as about the essential presence of Alice Springs.A warm, generous exchange. And that special intimacy only radio can offer, when the voice becomes a space for sharing.Distribué par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

To mark NAIDOC week in Australia, which officially celebrates & recognises the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, we bring you this interview with activist, astronomer and knowledge holder Professor Ghillar Michael Anderson, who was central in the setting up of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra in 1972. Michael is a Senior Law Man, Elder, and leader of the Eualeyai Nation from Goodooga, New South Wales. He has published several academic papers on Aboriginal astronomy. He contributed to the book, The First Astronomers, and he has asteroid named after him by the International Astronomical Union in honour of his contributions to the science. In this deep, warm and at times confronting conversation, we discuss how Aboriginal people read the stars, Michael's own experience growing up on Country, bush tucker, connection, the radness of Indigenous Aunties, Black Power, the story behind the Tent Embassy, and Michael's ideas for the future of activism for his community.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the esteemed curator Kelli Cole to discuss the trailblazing Australian artist, Emily Kam Kngwarray! This is a very special BONUS episode and [as a one-off format] an exhibition walkthrough of Kngwarray's show at TATE MODERN. This is the first large-scale presentation of Kngwarray's work ever held in Europe and a celebration of her extraordinary career as one of Australia's greatest artists. Born in 1914, from the Alhalker Country in the Northern Territory, Kngwarray made thousands of works, reflecting her life as an Anmatyerr woman, but was – extraordinarily – only in her late 70s when she began painting in earnest, creating for ceremonial purposes and designs on the bodies of women. Listen to us explore the exhibition: witnessing first hand some of the most dazzling paintings I've ever seen. So whether you'll listen to this ahead of your visit, or be virtually transported here (for those who can't be here in person), I hope we can bring the magic of her paintings alive for you. About our guest: A Warumungu and Luritja woman from Central Australia, Kelli Cole is the Director of Curatorial & Engagement for the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Gallery of Australia project in Alice Springs. Previously, she held the position of Curator of Special Projects in the First Nations portfolio at the National Gallery of Australia, and has contributed to numerous publications, both nationally and internationally, on various aspects of First Nations art. In 2022, she worked closely with another esteemed curator, Hetti Perkins, as part of the team for the 4th National Indigenous Art Triennial: Ceremony. But the reason why we are speaking with Cole today is because she is the lead curator of a very exciting new exhibition here at London's Tate Modern: Emily Kam Kngwarray!

After the safe arrival of her second baby, Poppy, Lil Bryant was anxious to return home from hospital to the peace and sanctuary of Mount Doreen Station - some 400km northwest of Alice Springs. Eagerly awaiting her return was her toddler son Dawson and hubbie Sam, along with Lil's beloved outback 'station family' of employees. But just nine days after Poppy's birth, Lil awoke in the middle of the night and immediately knew that 'something wasn't right'. Still half asleep, she turned on the bathroom nights and was greeted with a confronting sight. Lil was experiencing a significant Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) - and everyone at the station that night would have to work together to keep the terrified young Mum alive. ***Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

I enjoyed pushing my limits and seeing what I was capable of. I have competed in various World Triathlon events for NZ, including two Cross Triathlons, Duathlon, Aquathlons and Sprint Triathlon. I have also raced several XTERRA events, and love trying out all sorts of multisport including swim run and gravel - I recently did the TransCape swimrun in Dunsborough. I also enjoy bikepacking and have ridden some epic trips in NZ. I've also enjoyed a couple of epic camps in NZ run by John Newsom from the IM Talk podcast. In NZ I ended up with a group of friends who loved doing endurance adventures! This winter I'm training for the Larapinta trail run in August in Alice Springs and the Gravel Muster the weekend after. This will be an awesome training camp 2 months out for World Champs in Wollongong in October where I'm representing NZ in the sprint. I am associated with the Fremantle Triathlon Club in Western Australia and have previously been a member of Wellington Triathlon Club, Tauranga Triathlon Club in NZ and the Thames Valley Triathletes in the UK which is where it all started for me!

Interview with Kevin Das, Senior Technical Consultant of Frontier Minerals Ltd.Recording date: 8th April 2025New Frontier Minerals, dual-listed on the London and Australian Stock Exchanges, is strategically positioning itself in Australia's critical minerals sector with a focused approach to exploration and development. The company is advancing two key projects: the Harts Range project near Alice Springs and a copper development in Northwest Queensland.The Harts Range project has generated significant interest following recent airborne geophysical surveys that identified 46 potential targets, exceeding management expectations. The company's exploration focus centers on high-value heavy rare earth elements, particularly dysprosium and terbium, which are primarily sourced from China and are essential for defense applications and electric vehicles."What we have at Harts Range which makes it different to all the other rare earth projects is we have their high value heavy rare earths," explains Kevin Das, Senior Technical Consultant for New Frontier Minerals. "These high value heavy rare earths can only be found really in China and there's probably another handful of companies around the world that have these valuable and highly critical minerals."The company has identified two promising prospects at Harts Range, named "Bobs" and "Cusp," where surface sampling has yielded consistently high grades. An interesting feature of the mineralization is that rare earths, uranium, and niobium occur together, creating efficiency in exploration.Simultaneously, New Frontier is advancing its copper project in Northwest Queensland's Mount Isa region. The project includes the "Big One" deposit, containing approximately 2.2 million tons of copper at 1.1% grade. In January, the company signed an MOU with Austral Resources to potentially process ore at their nearby Mount Kelly facility, creating a pathway to production without substantial capital investment."That gives us a real clear pathway to production because we don't have to go to markets to raise $100 million to build a processing facility," Das notes.To fund its exploration activities, New Frontier has divested three non-core assets over the past six months, generating sufficient working capital for planned activities. This approach demonstrates capital discipline and allows the company to focus on its most promising assets without immediate dilution to shareholders.Near-term plans include validating targets at Harts Range, conducting trial processing of copper stockpiles, and drilling at Harts Range later this year. The company's presence in a region attracting major mining companies like Glencore, Anglo America, Rio Tinto, and FMG also creates potential for future M&A activity.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Song propelled Morris Stuart from his early life shepherding sheep in British Guyana to an unlikely love story in London. In his retirement, he found himself shaping a choir of Central Australian Aboriginal women, who had been breathing life into 138-year-old Lutheran hymns.Morris Stuart met his Australian wife, Barbara in London in the 1960s.The pair led a youth group attached to a nearby church, and initially tried to ignore their growing feelings for each other.Morris was a young, Guyanese activist who was descended from African slaves, and wasn't ready to face the social reality of marrying across racial lines.Morris and Barb fell in love and married several years before the film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? was released, and featured at several screenings in London, where community members could ask them questions as a real life, interracial couple.The couple went on to have four children and moved to Australia, where Morris became a pastor with a community church in Melbourne.In their retirement, Morris and Barbara developed relationships with the Warlpiri community in Central Australia. They arrived in Alice Springs in 2005 and Morris started recruiting for a choir.More Indigenous communities started joining in and Morris formed the Central Australian Aboriginal Women's choir.They performed hymns brought by German Lutheran missionaries to the region in the late 19th Century, which were translated into Pitjantjatjara and Western Arrernte.The choir's biggest achievement is a tour to Germany in 2015 — to perform the hymns that had all but vanished from use in Germany, but have been preserved in the Central Australian desert for 138 years.Follow the Central Australian Aboriginal Women's Choir on Facebook.Watch the documentary about the Central Australian Aboriginal Women's Choir tour to Germany, The Song Keepers. This episode of Conversations touches on heritage, epic life story, origin stories, church, personal stories, childhood and reflection.

Interview with Anthony Hamilton, CEO/MD of Georgina Energy PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/georgina-energy-lsegex-helium-hydrogen-play-nears-critical-drilling-milestone-6081Recording date: 17th March 2025Georgina Energy PLC, a London Stock Exchange-listed helium, hydrogen, and natural gas company, is experiencing significant operational delays at its Hussar project due to extreme weather conditions and expanded regulatory requirements. According to CEO Anthony Hamilton, a "once in 80-year weather event" with 274mm of rainfall in 24 hours followed by a tropical cyclone turned low-pressure system has rendered roads impassable and flooded the airstrip, postponing the company's original December drilling timeline.Adding to these challenges, the company's recent resource profile expansion of 50 square kilometers requires a new environmental impact study (EIS2) to be submitted to regulators. The previous 144-page environmental study (EIS1) covered 300 square kilometers, but the additional area now necessitates comprehensive cultural, heritage, and sacred site surveys across what Hamilton describes as "over 12,500 acres."Despite these setbacks, Georgina Energy recently deployed a survey team to the site on March 11, 2025, including traditional owners, environmental surveyors, and anthropologists. The challenging conditions turned what should have been an 1,800 km journey into a 5,100 km trek for some team members returning to Alice Springs.On the financial front, a February 25, 2025 scoping study by Duncan Seddon & Associates confirmed potential annual revenue for the Hussar project between $7.3 million and $208 million USD, depending on production rates. Hamilton emphasized that while "the weather's been a pain in the backside," the fundamental resource potential remains unchanged.The company plans to sell resources at the wellhead rather than developing costly processing infrastructure, with Hamilton noting it would be "completely stupid" for Georgina to attempt raising $250+ million for processing plants when specialized companies like Air Liquide and Linde have mobile helium separator technology. Once flow rates and resource composition are established, the company plans to conduct a "good old-fashioned Dutch auction" for offtakers.Georgina Energy expects to submit its environmental study by May 2025, coinciding with the end of the wet season. According to Hamilton, the regulatory approval should follow within "10 to 15 days" after submission. The company has already incorporated a 20% contingency in their original cost estimates to cover infrastructure repairs and emphasizes that drilling will only proceed when conditions are appropriate and access roads are in perfect condition.While waiting for regulatory approval, engineering teams, equipment specifications, and drilling plans are already in place, allowing for rapid mobilization once approvals are secured and seasonal challenges subside.View Georgina Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/georgina-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
