HEADLINES//  7:15 AM// Kate Colvin is the CEO of Homelessness Australia. Previously, Kate was the spokesperson for national housing and homelessness campaign Everybody's Home and served as the deputy CEO for Victoria's peak body for homelessness, the Council to Homeless Persons. Last week, the Australian Government's National Housing Supply and Affordability council released its State of the Housing system 2025 report. Kate joined us to discuss key findings of the report, including new drivers of homelessness in Australia, the direct impact of the housing crisis on wellbeing, and what is required to bring an end to this crisis. 7:30 AM// Aawa is from Kinglake Friends of the Forest (KFF), a volunteer community group committed to protecting native forests and relishing the joy of their unique biodiversity. The group started in opposition to local logging operations in Kinglake in 2018. Before long they were running court cases against logging agency VicForests that ended up halting native forest logging across the entire state from November 2022, over a year before the official end of the industry in 2024. Since the end of VicForests, KFF have turned their attention to the industrial burning of forests the occurs under the guise of bushfire management. 7:45 AM// Camille Comtat is the manager of Biodiversity and Habitats at Minderoo Foundation, a philanthropic organisation focused on climate change, gender equality, and First Nations issues. Camille is here on 3CR to chat about Minderoo's ongoing "Big Blue Ideas" conversation series in collaboration with the Australian National Maritime Museum, protecting our oceans, and the importance of marine protected areas.  8:00 AM// Vicky Ellmore is an organiser from the Act on Climate iniatitive within Friends of the Earth Melbourne.

On Sunday, Scheherezade spoke at the Free Palestine Naarm Rally outside the headquarters of Hanwha, the South-Korean arms company with ties to Elbit Systems. In her speech, she discussed the work of activists and organisers to heed the BDS call to boycott, divest from, and sanction Elbit Systems, Israel's largest arms company that designs and manufactures weapons and technology, as well as the government's complicity in enabling genocide.  Songs: Angie McMahon - Saturn Returning

Spannend nieuws: het scheepswrak van de Koning Willem de Tweede is gelokaliseerd. Het 19e-eeuwse Nederlandse schip verging in 1857 voor de kust van Robe (SA). Dr. James Hunter, conservator Naval Heritage and Archaeology bij het Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney, is uiteraard heel blij met de vondst en vertelt waarom het belangrijk is.

Are we building the wrong kind of apartments for families? There's a very interesting report in the Sydney Morning Herald about a survey that suggests that the cookie-cutter apartment designs we see all around us may be fine for singles and couples but are all the wrong shapes and sizes for families with growing kids.How can this be?  For a start, a two-bed units – three-bedders are well outside the price range for most young families –  are configured with a main bedroom, maybe with an ensuite (if you're lucky) and a smaller room as the guest bedroom.OK, Mum and Dad can give up the big room if they have two kids and let them share it (as they do in the SMH story) but surely it would make sense to have three smaller rooms and call it a family unit, or have more flexible internal configurations.  More on that in the podcast.We discuss the suggestion that we should be building more apartments over railway stations and rail lines.We hear about Sue's new book Run For Your Life, the true story about a family fleeing Russian oligarchs by hiding for three years in the Dampier Peninsula in the remote north of WA.  What's the connection with Flat Chat (apart from Sue)? Dad was structural engineer who was an expert in steel and glass (okay, a bit tentative). If you are interested, the book's first launch in Sydney (there are others in Perth, New Zealand and London) is on Wednesday April 17 from 7pm-8pm at the Mosman Library. Sorry, apparently you have to book in advance, ie asap, and pay for it too ($11 or concessions $9). Click HERE for more details to book. The second Sydney launch is on Thursday May 2 from 2pm-3.30pm at the Australian National Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour. This event is free but you also have to book asap in advance. Click HERE for details.And finally our Great Escape this week follows Jimmy to Saigon, Vietnam, where he was “doing the Graham Greene thing” and finishing his new novel.All that and more in the Flat Chat Wrap.____________________________________________________Flat Chat is all about apartment living, especially in Australia.Find us on Facebook and Twitter and the Flat Chat website.Send comments and questions to mail@flatchat.com.au.Register to ask and answer questions about apartment living anonymously on the website.Recorded by Jimmy Thomson & Sue Williams; Transcribed by Otter.ai; Transcription tidied up and sensified by Raphie.Find out more about Sue Williams and Jimmy Thomson on their websites.

Regional communities looking for ways to diversify income and employment under climate change often turn to tourism. Recently, the Australian Tourism Commission created a data hub to help. It shows the value of Australian tourism by region; and the scale of incomes and number of people in the industry to be staggering.The Cosmos Country podcast speaks with two people involved in tourism about how events can contribute to a diversified economy. Archaeologist Dr James Hunter is curator of Naval Heritage and Archaeology at the Australian National Maritime Museum. He recently highlighted the wreck called The South Australia, just offshore in Victor Harbour. Despite its size and importance to the history of South Australia, the wreck was only discovered less than a decade ago. Hunter is also exploring the southern SA coast in search of shipwrecks offshore of Robe.And Carolyn Grant is Director of Engagement at the Ocean Lovers Festival in Sydney, a blend of ideas, arts and music.They spoke to Cosmos Country's podcast hosts Glenn Morrison and Marie Low.

This episode will dive into the history of some of the world's first astronomers, exploring how their knowledge has been passed down for more than 60,000 years. We are going to the southern hemisphere to learn about Australia's Indigenous astronomy, and the impact it has on our world today. Our guest today is Peter Swanton! Peter is a Gamilaraay man from Mackay, Queensland, an astrophysics graduate, and cultural astronomer. He is actively involved in Indigenous astronomy, outreach, and research, and has a passion for the challenging yet critical subject of dark sky preservation. Peter will highlight the scientific importance of Indigenous star knowledge and the challenges and opportunities in preserving that history. Join us as we hear the stories of Australia's Indigenous Peoples, why constellations and star clusters are so impactful, and how issues like light pollution threaten the very field of astronomy itself. There is a LOT to learn in this episode!Key Takeaways: The Indigenous Peoples of Australia didn't have a written language, they were only able to pass along information via spoken word, song, dance, and stories. There are an estimated 273 different language groups across Australia.  While not all stars can be viewed from both hemispheres, all the zodiac constellations are viewable from either. Although, they will be upside down depending on which hemisphere you are familiar with. The Emu in the Sky is a popular example of how astronomy was used practically by the Indigenous Peoples. Depending on what direction the Emu was facing, it helped give insight towards Emu life patterns.  Creation stories are stories that are passed down that talk about the physical existence as well as store important information. A popular story about Australia's constellation the Southern Cross tells the story of the first person to die on Earth.  A songline is one of many paths across the land (or sometimes the sky). Embedded within traditional song cycles, dance rituals, stories, and artistic expressions, these pathways enable individuals to traverse vast distances while reciting the songs that describe landmarks, water sources, natural features, and sometimes stars and constellations. These routes serve as crucial connections between Native group ancestral lands, carrying intricate geographical, mythological, and cultural information giving directions on how to travel across Australia to visit other Indigenous groups.  Light pollution is quickly starting to impact our dark skies. Due to light from cities and satellites, it is harder than ever before to see the stars and galaxies with the naked eye. Light pollution is not only affecting dark sky preservation, but is also adversely affecting our vision, bird migration patterns, and newborn sea turtles. Peter's message to younger generations is to pursue what makes you happy.

Dallas Rogers talks with Stephen Gapps about his new book, Gudyarra: The First Wiradyuri War of Resistance — The Bathurst War, 1822–1824 ‘In May 1824, what can only be described as a period of all-out, total gudyarra (‘war' in the Wiradyuri language) had begun west of the Blue Mountains. Relations between Wiradyuri people and the colonists in the country around Bathurst had completely broken down, and the number of raids and killings occurring across isolated stock stations in the district had intensified.' In Gudyarra, Stephen Gapps – award-winning author of The Sydney Wars – unearths what led to this furious and bloody war, beginning with the occupation of Wiradyuri lands by Europeans following Governor Macquarie's push to expand the colony west over the Blue Mountains to generate wealth from sheep and cattle. Gudyarra traces the co-ordinated resistance warfare by the Wiradyuri under the leadership of Windradyne, and others such as Blucher and Jingler, that occurred in a vast area across the central west of New South Wales. Detailing the drastic counterattacks by the colonists and the punitive expeditions led by armed parties of colonists and convicts that often ended in massacres of Wiradyuri women and children, Gapps provides an important new historical account of the fierce Wiradyuri resistance. Stephen Gapps has a long-standing interest in public history and the history of early colonial Sydney. In 2011 he won the NSW Premiers History Prize for Regional and Community history with my book Cabrogal to Fairfield – A history of a multicultural community. Since then he has held a position as a curator at the Australian National Maritime Museum. In 2014 he developed the exhibition War at Sea – The Navy in WWI and in 2015 curated the highly successful Black Armada – Australian support for Indonesian independence 1945-1949. In 2018 he worked on concept development of the new permanent displays at the museum that explore deep time and Australian maritime history. In 2017 he was awarded the NSW State Library Merewether Fellowship for a project on Australian resistance warfare for publication in May 2018 called The Sydney Wars – Conflict in the early colony 1788-1817, which became a book project. His most recent book is Gudyarra: The First Wiradyuri War of Resistance — The Bathurst War, 1822–1824. This interview is a part of the 2023 Festival of Urbanism Book Club Podcast series

Last month, Dr. James Hunter and his team, travelled to Robe (SA) to locate the wreck of the 19th century Dutch ship King William II. James, who is curator of Naval Heritage and Archaeology at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney, was very confident that they were looking in the right place. Their first attempt, in November, failed due to bad weather conditions. Did the weather cooperate this time? - Het 19e eeuwse Nederlandse schip Koning Willem de Tweede verging in 1857 voor de kust van het Zuid-Australische plaatsje Robe. Dokter James Hunter is conservator Naval Heritage and Archaeology bij het Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney en deed maandenlang onderzoek naar het schip. Vorige maand reisden James en zijn team voor de tweede keer naar Robe met als doel om het scheepswrak te lokaliseren. In november stak het weer een stokje voor de mogelijke ontdekking, is het deze keer wel gelukt?

As we build upon the shoulders of times gone by, we are in a constant process of assessing what is still useful, what needs to be adapted and what no longer serves us. Aleks looks at the process of salvaging value from the world around us, looking at the pleasure and pain of sifting through the past, the pressures to preserve, how value can evolve over time, the allure of creating from scratch in the face of complex legacy systems and structures, and how treasure is often in the eye of the beholder. Michael Feathers is a software architect and author of Working Effectively with Legacy Code. Over the years, he advised many different companies on the strategic reuse and modernisation of their legacy code and systems. He is currently the Chief Architect for Globant, a global organisation helping companies transform their businesses.

It is estimated that there are about 3 million shipwrecks lying on ocean floors across our planet.  Over 8,000 of them are found in Australian waters.  One of these shipwrecks was discovered by the Australian National Maritime Museum in 2009 and involves an amazing story of escaped convicts, the circumnavigation of Australia, the discovery of two major rivers, links to Napoleon, and rescue and reunion.  But the story doesn't end there. This shipwreck is linked to a series of four other shipwrecks that are all involved in one of the most amazing family reunions of all time.

Dr Sam Willis explores the fascinating problems posed by Britain's complex imperial history by thinking in particular about Captain James Cook, the eighteenth-century British explorer and navigator famous for his three voyages to Australia and the Pacific (1768-1779). Sam talks with with Kevin Sumption – the Director and CEO of the Australian National Maritime Museum. They range widely over issues raised when planning for the 250th anniversary in April 2020 of Cook's arrival in Australia. Why are multiple perspectives important in a narrative like Cook's? And how did they go about including First People's narratives of Cook's arrival? Sam and Kevin also explore two intriguing items in the museum's collection: A bronze bust of Captain Cook with his head covered by a black balaklava made by the Australian artist Jason Wing, which challenges the colonial history of Australia from an Aboriginal perspective, and an eighteenth-century japanned tea tray by the artist Edward Bird depicting the death of Captain Cook in Hawaii in 1779.

The Powerhouse Museum has been working towards making its digital initiatives widely accessible and to a broader audience, online and onsite, to enable a connected digital future. With a blossoming of blogging, significant Flickr and Facebook presences the Museum has been developing great connections with a new audience that has led the institution to rethink access with an emphasis on the importance of community connections and participation. This thinking has had an impact on the Museum's Strategic Plan and several digital initiatives are now driving change within the organisation. The Museum has experienced incredible connections, citizen research and innovative digital outcomes such as MOB’s augmented reality mobile app using geo-located historic images from the Tyrrell collection, Paul Hagon’s Google Street view mashup, Digital NZ’s integration of related items from the Museum’s collection and the Powerhouse Museum’s collection download. Releasing data and images under a Creative Commons license has allowed the Museum to make the collection available for use and re-use. Social media initiatives are being adopted and aligned to the right platforms for appropriate audience effectiveness for exhibitions like ‘80s are back’ and ‘Trainspotting’ exhibitions. All these digital projects are allowing the Museum to evaluate, experiment, learn from and progress future initiatives leading to a connected digital future - as well as change the DNA of the Museum itself. Paula Bray is the Manager of the Visual and Digitisation Services department at the Powerhouse Museum that includes: Photography, The Image Resource Centre, The Photo Library and Rights and Permissions and Audio Visuals. Paula is responsible for managing the digital collections to the highest standard whilst coordinating photographic and AV projects for exhibitions, publications, events and the website. Paula runs a blog for the Museum called Photo of the Day and manages the Museum’s two Flickr accounts and numerous public groups.
