G'day! Kängurus, Koalas und der Ayers Rock... reichen diese Highlights um Australien-Skeptiker Andy Janz zu überzeugen, nach "down under" zu reisen? In der neuen Folge von "HIN & WEG: der Reisepodcast mit Sven Meyer und Andy Janz" ist Eva Seller, General Manager Continental Europe von Tourism Australia zu Gast. In dieser animierten Folge erzählt sie warum Australien so viel mehr als Känguru-Klischees zu bieten hat und warum sie sich schon vor Jahrzehnten in das Land auf der anderen Seite des Globus verliebt hat. Und das hat tatsächlich mehr mit den Menschen, als mit der (von Andy gefürchteten) Flora und Fauna Australiens zu tun. Sven, der sogar mal in Australien gelebt (und geliebt) hat ist sowieso von Destination "Oz" überzeugt und so vergeht eine interessante und lustige Touristik-Talk Runde wie im Fluge. Jetzt unbedingt hören!

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 13th of September, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.We start in Psalm 2:7:“You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.” Then we go straight to Luke 4:41:“You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And those are demons acknowledging Jesus Christ as the Son of God. “Then Luke 8:28, the same thing again:“What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God?”The first people to acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Son of God were demons - oh yes! Jesus says that He came into the world, not for those who are healthy but for those who are sick, ordinary people who have never met Jesus Christ in a special way. Folks, I want to tell you, as I record this message, there are Mighty Men Conferences taking place all over the world. Just yesterday I was on a zoom call with men in Australia that will be meeting at Ayers Rock, right in the heart of Australia, to pray for revival for the Mighty Men Conferences coming next year. There has just been one completed in Canada - beautiful! We have got over 20 Mighty Men Conferences happening in South Africa alone, 5 in a row in 5 weeks.. I want to tell you that God is on the move, and I want to tell you that Jesus Christ is the Friend of sinners like you and me. Now, for the ladies that are listening to this programme, I want to reassure you that the reason why Mighty Men takes place, is to teach men how to love, how to respect, how to honour and how to protect their women and children, how to put bread on the table, how to teach their children how to love Jesus and to stand up and be counted, and the Lord is doing that.Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector and Jesus went into his house to have a meal with him, the disciples said, “Lord, do you know who that man is?” He said, “Yes, I do know who he is.” I want to tell you that Zacchaeus got converted that day. He was that little short man who climbed up the sycamore tree to see Jesus coming. He gave 400% of everything that he took away from or stole from anybody else. I have seen letters sent to me from little children, 10 years old, in that big, beautiful handwriting - it makes me want to cry, “Thank you for giving me a new daddy after the Mighty Men weekend.” Women writing beautiful letters to us saying, “the man I fell in love with 20 years ago came back home this weekend.” Jesus is on the move, and He is here for the sinner and He is here for those who will put up their hand and say, “Lord, I will follow You.”Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

In August 1980, the Chamberlain family decided to go on a family camping trip to Ayers Rock in Australia. Park rangers had been discussing a need to decrease the dingo population because they threatened humans. This proved itself when the Chamberlain's 10-week-old daughter Azaria disappeared from their tent. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Lindy Chamberlain and the death of baby Azaria. Lindy screamed to the other campers that the dingo had her baby. When investigators arrived, they found blood in the tent and tracks leading away. But they became convinced that Lindy had killed her daughter.

In this episode, we'll talk about how you can make your site more interactive and the tasks and costs associated with that. You can subscribe on all the usual channels by searching Skip the Queue. Kelly Molson: Hello. Back for a fourth time. Paul Marden: Hello. Kelly Molson: What attraction have you visited most recently, and what did you love about it? Paul Marden: Do I go first? I always go first. Kelly Molson: We've got a format now. Don't break the format. I'm comfortable. Paul Marden: I went to the Titanic Museum just recently. We were exhibiting, actually, at the Association of Science and Discovery Centres at their annual conference in Belfast, which was actually at W5 in the Titanic quarter of Belfast. And I could talk loads about W5, which I will do in another session. But the place that I went to that I was most kind of emotionally moved by which I'm a bit of a geek and I'm fairly concrete in terms of my emotional stuff, for me to feel moved. Kelly Molson: Yeah. It's normally me that's got the blubbing. Paul Marden: Yeah. So I was blown away by the experience at the Titanic Museum. I've never been to a museum with so few artefacts, which, of course, is because everything was lost at sea. And so the whole museum is about telling the story through reproductions and immersive experiences, which was all amazing. But then you stumble upon one of the original artefacts as you're wandering around, and there's only a handful of them, but it hit me like a brick wall when I actually came across them. So there's a life jacket. There's only twelve of those left in existence, and they've got one of them at the museum. And you walk into this room, where all of the names of the victims of this tragedy are on this massive wall. And it's a darkened room, but lit in the centre of the room was this one life jacket. Paul Marden: Amazing. And then you walk around and there's a section talking about the root cause of the accident. And there are the keys to the binocular store from the crow's nest, which happened to be in the second officer's pocket. And he had to get off the ship in Southampton and he didn't get back on, and so there were no keys. And so the people that were in the crow's nest couldn't open the box with the binoculars that would have led them to see the iceberg. Kelly Molson: Wow. What a story. That wasn't in the film. Paul Marden: No, it wasn't in the film. So it's really impactful. And then the storytelling was amazing, but completely lost on me. So I was chatting to. I made a new friend, Lucinda Lewis, the CEO of Catalyst Science and Discovery Centre, and we would, like, both say how amazing it was, how impactful it was. And she was like, "Yeah, and the dominoes." And I'm like, "Dominoes? What dominoes?" Paul Marden: And she was like, "Did you not see when you were looking at all of the root causes, they wrote them on these big pillars that were toppling, showing you the domino effect." I was like, "Okay, yeah, that was completely lost on me." Kelly Molson: So lesson for you is you need to pay more attention to the interpretation next time. Paul Marden: Completely clueless to the subtext of what was going on around me. But the story was amazing. Kelly Molson: Story is really cool. Yeah. I have never heard that before. That's really impressive. I think that picture that you painted of all the names with the one kind of life jacket in the middle of it is so powerful. I can see it in my head, but I've never seen it. Paul Marden: That was only one of a dozen kind of really powerful memories that I've got of being just blown away by their storytelling and how they communicated what happened. It was just an amazing place. Kelly Molson: Nice. I've got it. I missed that I couldn't make it to the conference this year because I was elsewhere. Paul Marden: Absolutely. What have you been doing recently? Where have you been? Kelly Molson: So this is a very recent one, literally last week, last Thursday, I was very kindly invited to go and visit the Ashmolean Museum, which is a free to enter museum. But what I really liked is they have a very large donations area as you first walk in and you've got card donations. Beep. So easy. I never have cash, so that was a big thumbs up for me. The museum is brilliant. I mean, it has some brilliant exhibitions in it that are there. They're always there. But I was really keen to go and see their colour revolution exhibition, which is all around Victorian art, fashion and design. Some of you might not know this about me, but I was a graphic designer in the past, actually. Probably. Actually, loads of you people know about that. Loads. Kelly Molson: I was a graphic designer once upon a time and I was a packaging designer and just design and colour. And also I've got a real passion for kind of interior design as well. So all of these things just, I have a big love of. So this exhibition for me was like, "This is the one. This is a big tick." What I found really fascinating is that Victorian Britain has this kind of connotation of being really dull and dreary, and the exhibition was kind of exploring that. It's absolutely incorrect, but they start with Queen Victoria's morning dress, which is a really powerful image. So after Prince Albert's sudden death, she plunged into a very deep grief. And she actually wore. I didn't know this. She wore black for the remaining 40 years of her life. I had no idea that she. Kelly Molson: I mean, I knew she mourned for a really long time. I had no idea she never wore another colour again. So she's obviously such an iconic image, an iconic person of that era, that image probably sticks with you, which is why it adds to that illusion of Victorian's love in the dark completely. But they didn't they really love colour.  And they love to experiment with it. And they have a big thing about insects and animals and bringing that into the colours that they wore. And the jewellery, like, some of the jewellery, like this beetle necklace, was just incredible. And there is a lot of. I know that they have a lot of that in their kind of fabrics and their kind of artwork from that time as well. But what I really loved is really small artefact in the museum that I totally loved. So it was a very early colour chart, like a paint sample colour chart. So this is quite current for me at the minute. Kelly Molson: My office is full of furnishings because we're renovating a cottage in Norfolk and it's not ready, but I've had to order all the things for it or find them off Facebook Marketplace and eBay and charity shops and vintage places and my office. So colour chart and all of that kind of stuff is, like, right up here at the moment. But anyway, there was an 1814 Scottish artist called Patrick Syme, and he tried to solve the problem of how to describe colour by giving each one of them a name. But he draw nature to do this. So you have, like, mole's breath now from Barrow and ball and lighting green and those kind of stuff. Well, this is where this started in the Victorian age, so it's absolutely beautiful. I posted it on my LinkedIn. Kelly Molson: But this colour chart is just gorgeous and it gives a number for each colour. So number 54. Its name was Duck green. The animal that it was named after is the neck of Mallard. I actually thought the colour was neck of Mallard, which I was like, that's absolutely brilliant. The vegetable that it was similar to is the upper disc of yew leaves, and the mineral is. I don't know if I'm going to pronounce this Ceylanite and I Googled it isn't green. I had no idea what ceylanite is, but it's not green. Paul Marden: Yeah, I'd struggle to identify a yew tree, let alone the upper disc green of a yew tree's leaf. Kelly Molson: Well, there you go. Honestly, I loved it. I loved every minute of it. It was really interesting. And that for me was like, I know it's a really small artefact, but it was the standout one for me because it just connected with some of it is so current for me at the moment. It was £15 pounds to go and see this exhibition and that is money well spent. It's open now until the 18th of Feb 2024. So totally get yourselves along to visit that. And also their restaurant and food is top notch. Paul Marden: Was it good? Was it really okay? Kelly Molson: We'll talk about that another time. Paul Marden: We've done a few of the Oxford Uni museums, but we've not done the Ashmolean yet, so that needs to be on my list of places to go. Kelly Molson: Yeah, definitely worth a little visit. Okay. Right. We're going to talk about interactivity today. Making your website more interactive can improve engagement which is more likely to improve your conversion rate. But very few attractions have interactive elements, which is quite surprising, actually. So we're going to talk about how you can make your site a bit more interactive and immersive. So one, the stat from the survey is that, 53% of visitor attractions survey don't have any interactive elements on their websites. Kelly Molson: So that's like. I'm quite surprised about that because during the pandemic, went all in on interactivity. We had to. It was the only way that you could kind of get people to your site and get people engaged in what you were doing. And we're talking about things like virtual tours, interactive maps, or even just integrating video and audio on your site is a way of making it interactive as well. So, yeah, I was quite surprised that it was so low, actually. Paul Marden: Yeah, it surprised me as well, because a lot of the people that we talk to want that kind of interactive content added into their sites. Kelly Molson: Do you think. And I'm not trying to make us idiots here again, because we did enough of that on the last episode, but do you think that people understand that video and audio is an interactive element? Paul Marden: That's a good point. Kelly Molson: Or is our expectation of it to be more. Because audio and video, do we see that as a standard thing now? We don't see that as a special element. Paul Marden: That could be absolutely true. And we talked a lot about things that we could do to improve the survey for next time. There's a real risk, isn't there? Because you could ask a lot more very detailed questions. Do you have a virtual tour? Do you have an interactive map? Do you have video and audio on your site? And now, all of a sudden, we've gone from one question to three questions, and we're asking too much of everybody when they fill stuff in, so you end up having to have broader questions, but those broader questions themselves become a little ambiguous. So maybe there's an element of. It could be that there's a bunch of people in that 53% of people that don't have interactivity, that may have stuff that is video or audio that we would consider to be interactive, but they don't. Kelly Molson: Do you think as well, that because life has gone back to relative normality for the majority of us, that we just are not engaging with those things as much, or they just not seem to be as relevant anymore? Paul Marden: Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it? We talk about audience personas and trying to personalise the site to give people exactly the content that's relevant to them. Who is the target audience for the virtual tour? Is the target audience for a virtual tour the people that are going to come visit? Is it a way of enticing people to come and physically come on site? Is it a way of extending the reach of the attraction, or let's say it's a cultural or museum kind of setting? Is it a way for them to extend the reach of their collection to people that can't come. Understanding what the interactivity is there for and how it enables the audience to achieve the goal that they're trying to achieve. And for the clients, the attraction themselves, to be able to achieve what their goal is for that audience group is interesting. Paul Marden: Interactivity for its own sake doesn't help anyone if you're not really thought about why you're putting it there. Kelly Molson: Yeah, I was just trying to think. I've got a really good case study of this and I've forgotten the name of the place. I want to talk about it, but I've forgotten the name of it, so I'll give you an explanation of it instead. Years ago, so. Oh, God, I think this is. In 2015, Lee and I went to Australia on holiday. Lee actually asked me to marry him in Australia at Ayers Rock. It was very romantic. Paul Marden: Oh, wow. Kelly Molson: But one of the best, I should say that was the best trip, obviously, that was the best trip, but one of the other best trips that went on while were there. When were in Melbourne, I've gone to the island and I've forgotten the name of the island. It's come off totally out of my head. But went to see the little penguins, so the penguin parade that comes in. These penguins come in to shore every night and you can go and watch them come in. It's like an army of miniature penguins. And it genuinely is the most magical thing I've ever seen in my whole life. And you can't take photos because it hurts their eyes. So you're immersing yourself into this experience and it's all up here in my head. Kelly Molson: Well, during the pandemic, they started live broadcasting it on Facebook and I was like, "Shut up. This is amazing." Because it's an expensive trip back to Australia, but I'd love to do that again. I would absolutely 100% go back and do that again.  But this was like a magical opportunity to see it in my home office and watch it as well. So those kind of opportunities, I think, are pretty magical. Paul Marden: You reminded me of in the middle of lockdown, I was obsessed by watching the webcam at Monterey Bay Aquarium. Kelly Molson: I just got something else that got obsessed about a few weeks ago, which is I watched the webcam Sandringham have got. No, is it Sandringham or Balmoral? One of them have got a webcam with the Red Squirrels. I think it's Balmoral. And I got absolutely, totally obsessed with it. Had it on in the corner of the screen just while I was working, just going, "Is it there yet? Is it back yet? Red squirrel. Red squirrel."Paul Marden: I think it might be. The two of us were looking at penguins and sea otters during the height of the pandemic when were desperate to travel. Now, watching Red squirrels on a webcam might be, might not have the same justification for the rest of your day's life. Kelly Molson: It's really cool. It's really cool. You don't get to see red squirrels very often. Paul Marden: No, you don't. Kelly Molson: Anyway, apologies went off on a total tangent, but you can see, look, we've got really animated about this, so you can totally see the value of having those kind of experiences on your website and being to engage with different audiences. Paul Marden: Should we do a stat? Should we talk about some numbers?Kelly Molson: Yeah, what's the benefits? Paul Marden: Yeah. So HubSpot again. We talk about HubSpot data all the time. But HubSpot found that interactive content like quizzes, assessments and polls can increase time spent on a website by 80%. That one's lifted straight out of the survey that we put into there. But there's some more. The Content Marketing Institute shows that 81% of marketers agreed that interactive content grabbed more attention than static content. But that chimes with the data that we gathered from people, doesn't it? Because a lot of people do think that this is important stuff. Maybe not quite to the same level that the Content Marketing Institute found, but obviously people in the results set from our survey thought that this was important. Kelly Molson: Yeah. And I think it depends on what that interactive content is. So, interestingly, when we did the live webinar for the report, we had someone on the webinar mention that they were a bit worried about distraction. So we talk a lot about focusing people's attention on the job in hand, which is ultimately showcase what your attraction does, get them to buy a ticket. And this person said, are we distracting them from those journeys by doing that? But I don't know if it's part of the purchase journey. I think it might be post purchase. It feels for me like post purchase, getting them to come back and engage in your site, repeat visit stuff, just those things around quizzes and assessment and polls and stuff like that. And also this example that I just gave about the little penguins. Kelly Molson: I absolutely will go back to that place one day and being able to engage with it keeps it front and centre of my mind to go. When we go back to Australia, I'm going to take my kid to see that because she will love it. I'll make sure she loves it. And I don't know if it's part of the first point of engagement. I think it's post purchase engagement. Paul Marden: That's interesting. Yeah. What the problems say? Kelly Molson: Anyway, problems? Sustainability. Paul Marden: Yeah. Shall I share a bugbear of mine that I share regularly in meetings all the time. But a lot of interactive content, especially the stuff that uses video, can be inherently unsustainable. Video uses bandwidth. And a lot of people don't think of the impact that websites can have on CO2 emissions. Yeah, it's a link that I don't think many people make. I certainly didn't until there's been a lot of talk around in our industry about this in the last couple of years and it's really opened my eyes up. It's easy to understand if you work for an airline, you can see the CO2 emissions coming out the back of the plane, but if you build websites, you don't see it necessarily, but video consumes bandwidth and bandwidth takes all of these things, the compute power to produce the video and publish it out onto the Internet. Paul Marden: And then to shift all of that data across the Internet ultimately uses energy, and that energy comes at the cost of producing CO2. So one of the obvious ways, if we're just talking about video itself, because video is one kind of more interactive element, avoiding autoplaying videos, which is my absolute bugbear when you land on a home page of a website. And the video autoplays that for me, now that my eyes have been opened to the impact of it, I only used to see the conversion rate benefit, but now the cost associated with that is clear in my mind. And I think if we can avoid doing that and find other ways to increase conversion, I think that's really important. But also doing things to make sure that we understand what the sustainability impact of the web pages that we produce. Paul Marden: So as we make our web pages more complex, they will produce more CO2 as a result of doing that. And I think as people become more aware of this, the world is going to change. At the moment, the people that buy from us, this is not something that is front and centre of their minds in the buying process, I think, at the moment. And there's a lot of power in the hands of the marketers and the procurement people to make it so that technical people like us that build things are required to take that sustainability perspective into account when we're building things and making sure that we build things sustainably. Kelly Molson: And then there's accessibility. So interactive elements can be really great for people that can't visit your site, for one example. However, the digital aspect of that means that you could intentionally put something on your site which actually is less accessible for people who have visual impairments or hearing impairments, for example. Paul Marden: Yeah, absolutely. If you've got video with audio, have you got subtitles? If you've got video, do you have audio descriptions that describe what the video is showing? If you've got an interactive map, how would you provide a more accessible way of being able to see the interactive map? If you've got a 3D, interactive, immersive virtual tour, how will you interact with that? If you can't see it, to interact with it, those are all things that people need to be thinking about. And many of the institutions that we work with will have a statutory obligation to think about it as well. It's not just a nice to have, it's a statutory obligation to do it as well. Kelly Molson: Yeah, for sure. Okay, so who's doing it well? I think we should just caveat this one by saying that our report and a survey and subsequent report are all anonymous. Kelly Molson: If we ever share anyone's information, that is, in relation to the report data. We have asked for their express permission. Prior to this. Prior to sharing. In this instant, we've just gone out and found some stuff on people's websites and gone, “We really like this. This is really cool.” So we're not talking about these institutions in relation to survey data? Paul Marden: No, absolutely. Should we talk about. The first one in our list was Mary Rose Trust. And the Mary Rose Museum has got an amazing array of interactive artefacts that they've listed off the bottom of the seabed and made it available on the website so you can come.  Kelly Molson: With your mouse, you can turn it around. Not with your hand.Paul Marden: Not yet. The technology isn't quite there yet, but, yeah, you can interact with those artefacts and I think that's pretty amazing for an organisation like them, to be able to share those, because they've got an amazing collection of Tudor artefacts and to be able to share those with the outside world is really impressive. Yeah. Kelly Molson: So that's like a simple technology where you can kind of 3D model the artefact and you can spin it around and you can click on elements of it that will tell you a little bit about this part of it or where it was found or the condition of it, et cetera. So that is super cool. What was the other one on this list that you were like, “This is great.”Paul Marden: I really loved the Museum of London's Victorian Walk. It's a 3D tour affair and obviously they've scanned, taken photos and composed this together into this really cool 3D tour system that you can just move around and experience what life is like on a Victorian walk. I was blown away by, you were talking about the colour of Victorian England. Yeah, it was a really colourful experience. So in my mind, it was a bit like going into diagonally in Hogwarts in the Harry Potter world. It felt that kind of side street of London kind of thing. But you really got into it. It was very cool. Kelly Molson: Oh, that's one for me. So I should go and do that and do a little comparison of how colourful it was based on my Ashmolean experience. Paul Marden: Absolutely. Kelly Molson: Okay, next steps that someone can take if they're thinking about stuff like this. So assess what you can do really quickly and easily. So what do we already have? Paul Marden: Yeah, a lot of people are already going to have stuff, aren't they? So what video have they got? What audio have they got? Were they like Mary Rose and had a bunch of 3D scans of their artefacts that then you can stick into a tool and put onto your website. Obviously, if you've got a large collection and you want to 3D scan everything and put it onto your website, that's not a trivial undertaking, is it? But if you've already got the 3D scans of stuff and you need to then make it available on the website, then the step might be relatively much simpler than scanning your whole collection. Kelly Molson: Yeah. So have a look through your video, your audio, your 3D elements. What do you already have, what can you make more of? And then what can you easily add to your current site? Paul Marden: Yeah, absolutely. A lot of websites can add video and audio just straight out of the box. I'm going to get a bit geeky and talk about iframes, but essentially an iframe is a little cut out area of your website that you can post a little bit of content into that a lot of different interactive tools on the web will enable you to do so. The 3D models. There's a tool that you can create 3D models of the world in that we've used on a number of different projects. And then you just embed it as an iframe, which is essentially take a URL of your 3D scan and you pop it into your website and it comes out and works on the page as is. It's pretty awesome. And takes so little effort for your developers to be able to add it to the site. Kelly Molson: Cool. And then think about what you could commission or think about some of the things that you could potentially look at as a larger piece of project work. Paul Marden: Yeah, I mean, there's a brainstorming exercise, there, isn't there, of trying to get lots of people together and come up with creative ideas and think about what you can do. Some of the other stuff that we've talked about. Easy. Doesn't take a lot of effort. You've got the assets already or it's relatively easy to add them to your site. But what else could you do? That takes a lot of effort and planning. Kelly Molson: Ask your visitors. Ask people what more they'd like to see. Paul Marden: Yeah. Figuring out what your audience wants and how do you get them to that is step number one, isn't it? Kelly Molson: Okay, and then what kind of budget are we looking at for some of these things? Paul Marden: How long is a piece of string kind of question? This one isn't. It's really hard adding interactive maps onto your site that are fully accessible and easy to use. I guess you're looking at a few thousand pounds to be able to do that, potentially less depends on what you want to put into your interactive map, video and audio. If your website already supports it and you got a whole library of this stuff that you want to share with the outside world, it could cost you nothing but the time it takes you to add it to the site. And then you get into some of the more complex elements like the you can imagine that creating a 3D kind of immersive virtual walkthrough, that's not a trivial job. Paul Marden: If you want to go and photograph an entire exhibit, walk around the whole floor plan of your museum and create an amazing virtual tour. That's going to take some effort, both in terms of getting the right people to turn up with the right kit to be able to do that photography, and then in terms of the technology that's needed to turn that into a virtual tour, and then the effort to embed that into the website itself could be amazing. Probably not a cheap exercise.Kelly Molson: No, substantial investment, and just need to make sure that you're doing it for the right reasons and for the right audience as well. Also podcast if you are thinking about doing a podcast for your museum or your attraction, which I think is a genius idea, give us a shout and we'd be happy to share some of our kind of top tips. Kelly Molson: I think we did an episode on it back in the day with Paul Griffith from Painshill Park, who actually, he interviewed me on this podcast and we talked about some of the reasons that we did it, how we set it up, and some of the kind of costumes around that as well. So it's worth having a little bit through, dig through the archive, but if you got any questions on that then yeah, give us a shout. Good chat again today. I enjoyed this. Paul Marden: Been good, hasn't it? Kelly Molson: Yeah. I'll see you next time. Paul Marden: Thank you. Cheers, mate.

Hear about travel to Uluru and Central Australia as the Amateur Traveler talks to travel blogger Chris Fry from AquariusTraveller.com about her most recent trip to the red center of Australia. https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-uluru-and-central-australia/ Why should someone go to Central Australia? Chris says, "I Like visiting Uluru for the Aboriginal culture, the art, the history, learning about the Dreamtime. I think it's where I first started learning about the Aboriginal history and our First Nations people and it's one of the best places to actually learn about it there. Some of the tour guides are actually Aboriginal, so they will actually tell you their history, how they grew up and everything like that, so yes, I think it's great for Australians, it's great for tourists to actually learn about that first hand from the people who have been living here for 65 million years." Chris recommends this itinerary: Day 1: Arrival in Alice Springs Arrive in Alice Springs and check into your accommodation. Take some time to explore the local area and get acquainted with the surroundings. Day 2: Exploring Alice Springs Visit the Royal Flying Doctors Museum to learn about its vital role in providing healthcare to remote regions. Explore the town's Aboriginal galleries, showcasing dot paintings and supporting local communities. Wander through Todd Mall, the central shopping district, where you can find souvenirs and enjoy lunch at one of the cafes. Discover the fascinating animal parks in Alice Springs, including a desert animal park and a kangaroo sanctuary. Day 3: Road Trip around Alice Springs Embark on a road trip along Larapinta Drive, exploring various gorges and stunning landscapes. Visit Simpson Gap, known for its white ghost gums, and a chance for a refreshing swim. Explore Standley Chasm, a narrow gorge with striking rock formations, best experienced during midday sunlight. Discover Ochre Pit, showcasing Aboriginal history through vibrant rock colors used for painting. Enjoy a swim at Ormiston Gorge, a popular swimming spot surrounded by towering cliffs. Explore Glen Helen Gorge and witness part of the Finke River. Day 4: Palm Valley 4WD Adventure Join a 4WD bus tour to Palm Valley, experiencing the rugged terrain and unique red cabbage palms. Learn about the Aboriginal history of the area and witness the contrasting colors of the landscape. Stop at Hermannsburg, an Aboriginal community, for a cultural experience. Return to Alice Springs in the evening and relax. Day 5: Journey to Kings Canyon Begin the road trip to Kings Canyon, taking the longer route for a scenic drive and passing notable landmarks. Fuel up at the Old Andado Roadhouse and explore the surrounding area. Arrive at Kings Canyon Resort, check-in, and relax for the evening. Day 6: Kings Canyon Hiking Adventure Embark on the Kings Canyon Rim Walk, a challenging but rewarding hike with stunning views. Explore the Garden of Eden, a sacred Aboriginal site with a water pool. Exercise caution around cliff edges and enjoy the unique rock formations. Optional: Take the shorter Kings Creek Walk, providing a different perspective of the area. Return to the resort for a relaxing evening. Day 7: Exploring Yulara, the Gateway to Uluru Wake up and start the day by driving to Yulara, the town that services visitors to Uluru. Yulara: Learn about the town, which has hotels, camping facilities, a tourist information center, restaurants, cafes, groceries, and fuel stations. Consider hiring a car for convenience. Distance from Uluru: Yulara is about 30 minutes away from Uluru, making it a convenient base for exploring the area. Relax and familiarize yourself with the amenities in Yulara. Consider a shuttle bus for convenient transportation within the town. Day 8: Uluru National Park Exploration Purchase a National Park Pass for 3 days and start your first day in Uluru. Sunrise and Sunset: Enjoy the specific sunrise and sunset platforms in Uluru, perfect for photographers. Daytime Activity: Embark on the 10-kilometer walk around the base of Uluru, experiencing different shapes and formations created by nature. Uluru's Beauty: Marvel at the impressive dimensions of Uluru, a single rock monolith measuring about 2.2 miles long, 1.5 miles wide, and 348 meters high. Explore various formations and sacred sites, and enjoy the unique features of Uluru. Day 9: Extended Uluru National Park Experience Return to Uluru National Park for a second day of exploration. Sunrise or Sunset: Choose between sunrise and sunset at designated areas, or consider the Field of Lights experience, an art installation with 50,000 solar-powered bulbs. Optional Activities: Consider camel rides, Sounds of Silence dinner, or a helicopter flight for a unique perspective. Aboriginal Cultural Experiences: Visit the tourist information center for information on local tours, including the opportunity to make or paint your own didgeridoo. Day 10: The Ogres (Kata Tjuta) Adventure Journey to Kata Tjuta, about 45 minutes from Yulara. Hiking: Explore the Walpa Gorge Walk, an easy one-hour return walk through the middle of two rocks. Optionally, embark on the Valley of the Winds walk, a three-hour return walk offering stunning views. Afternoon/Evening: Relax and unwind, considering the Sounds of Silence dinner or enjoying the amenities at your accommodation. Day 11: Return to Alice Springs Morning: Begin the journey back to Alice Springs, stopping at the Oldunder Roadhouse. Safety Reminder: Stay vigilant on the road due to potential encounters with free-roaming wildlife, such as cows and camels. Return to Alice Springs and explore attractions like the truck museum or take a photo at the Alice Springs entrance sign. Central Australia has some challenges like the prices, the flies and the red dirt getting everywhere, but it is also a unique and beautiful corner of Australia that is worth a visit.

On August 17, 1980, the Chamberlain family was camping near the famous Ayers Rock in Australia's Outback. The family consisted of father Michael, Mother Lindy, and their three children, 9-week-old Azaria, and her brothers: 6-year-old Aidan and 4-year-old Reagan. The Chamberlains and a few other families gathered to enjoy a bonfire and a cookout, but moments later baby Azaria was gone! Her mother Lindy emerged after a piercing scream, horribly shaken, she yelled, “The dingo's got my baby,” and with that, the tragedy of the Chamberlain family had only just begun…Baby Azaria was gone, and the nation was against Lindy, believing the Dingo story was just a sick cover-up. Was Lindy Chamberlain innocent? Did a Dingo really take her baby? We'll be covering the shocking case of Azaria Chamberlain on today's True Crime Recap.Watch True Crime Recaps on Facebook, TikTok, YouTube or Snapchat!

  Best of the Outback, Ayers Rock, Australia       In this episode: The FAQ is on how to use packing cubes. The destination is the Outback and Ayers Rock, Australia. The lesson learned is Don't give up too easily. The tip is We May Never Pass This way Again, by Seals & Crofts, back from the memory banks.   FAQ: What are the advantages of Packing Organizers or travel compression bags? How can I pack a suitcase best using cubes?  The best way to pack a smaller suitcase, that is one you want to carry on, is using cubes. Many airlines limit your size of carry on, so find out the exact dimensions and get a suitcase small enough to bring. The advantages are efficiency, saving space, keeping clothes clean and dry and prevent you from overpacking. The cubes are zippered fabric containers, which fit into small spaces so that you are not only more organized, you can bring more. I use four cubes, and they are rectangular in shape, lightweight and have strong zippers. Although the compression bags are good, the cubes don't need to release air, are more durable and stack neatly. Plus, there will be fewer creases in your clothes. The best way to use them is to lineup everything you want to bring and then organize on how you best want to travel. One cube could be for day 2 of your trip, so everything is easy to access. One cube could be your toiletries and cords. One cube could be a pair of shoes and surround that with smaller items. You'll notice the fabrics, the shapes of your items and the weight will make a difference. I prefer folding instead of rolling, but you can do a combination so it's more compact. It may take you several tries to get everything into the cubes, but once you do, you're all set for your trip.  https://www.neverendingvoyage.com/how-to-use-packing-cubes-carry-on-travel/ Today's Episode is about the Outback and Ayers Rock, Australia   It is a six-hour drive through bush country from Alice Springs to Ayers Rock. Depending on the amount of rain, this can look very barren or colorful. I stayed at a motel not far from The Olgas, which are 12 miles southwest of Ayers Rock. I walked through the gorge with new friends from New South Wales, Australia. From Sunset Strip, I watched Ayers Rock change color, with about 250 viewers at that spot. It's one of the most photographed rocks in the world. I watched a slide show about the area, and then went out for a moonlight drive to see the rock under the stars. The area has no pollution, clouds or competing light, so they are the most brilliant I've ever seen. The culture here is all about the Uluru, the native people from the area. Their folk music is worth a listen. You'll need to see the sunrise, even if it's freezing cold. When I visited, you could still climb Ayers Rock, although you no longer can do this, because it's sacred to the native people. It was one of the most exciting and fun adventures of my lifetime. From the top of the rock, we had such a clear view to the horizon and further. To get to the top, I followed a white dotted line, and along the way, I sang songs that made my heart light and the journey easy. Even if you can't climb the rock, you can still become inspired and awed at the colorful palate of nature who changes cues throughout the day at this rock. From light to dark and every color in between, I found much peace at this spot. Back in Alice Springs, I found a desert-like town and a global village of travelers. It was a bit like Las Vegas, only much smaller. Yes, there were casinos and I went to them. Aboriginal artifacts like boomerangs and weapons were found here, too. This is the Outback.   Today's Mistake-Don't give up too easily, for example on windsurfing.   It took me nearly 40 tries to learn how to windsurf in Fiji. It was on the 40th try that I finally learned how to make the sail sing. So don't get discouraged, because it may take you a long time, but once you get it and learn the basics, you'll be sailing.    Today's Travel Advice- We may never pass this way again.    The Seals & Crofts song makes me smile. Think of all the things you do when you travel and all the memories you store. Remember that you may not get back to this place again, so do what you like, even if it's just resting and relaxing. Enjoy your time on the road and seeing or resting for the next day! Life, love and fun is just begun.

This mini ep takes a look at ground breaking Australian rock band, Ayers Rock. Formed in 1973, Ayers Rock were the first Australian act signed with Mushroom Records to break internationally. When Ayers Rock recorded their debut album, Big Red Rock, they recorded it live-in-the-studio and it was a ground breaking album.

Sam Cheung, Carlyn Greenwald, and Ivan Vukovic, three regular everyday Americans, are back to discuss The Crown Season 4, Episode 6: Terra Nullius. Together, they try to determine which Olivia Rodrigo song best encapsulates the episode, and Carlyn shares the circumstances which led to her knowledge of Ayers Rock.

In loving memory of Valerie Barrow Dec 17 1932 - June30 2022 For those who are unfamiliar with Valerie you are in for a treat! We had Valerie set to join us in what would certainly be a wonderful episode. Unfortunately in the process of emailing back and forth Valerie has transitioned and is beginning the next chapter of her souls evolution. We strongly believe in Valeries message so we decided to continue to share it and have put together this highlight video from one of our favorite interviews of hers. Valerie was full of wisdom and galactic knowledge. We hope you enjoy. Please share far and wide if you feel called ❤️ My name is Valérie Judith Barrow and I have been asked by the Ancient Creator Ancestor Spirit, Alcheringa, to write a continued story about the monolith in the centre of Australia—known by the ancient indigenous people as Uluru. Uluru was named Ayers Rock when white people came to settle on this ancient land. Alcheringa tells us he has resided on this earth from its creation. Now it's time for him to tell us about the Star People and how they were appointed to restore this beautiful earth to its original creation. Please note that the Star People, including myself and my husband John, deeply respect the talent and knowledge that the Indigenous people of Australia have. The Star People confirm they are the first created humans, meaning Light men, and they are the oldest living race on Earth. I have been initiated many times in my life, enabling an understanding of important creation stories of the Australian Indigenous people and their Dreaming. My knowledge of Uluru comes from the ‘Alcheringa Sacred Stone' (wrapped in paperbark and tied with string belonging to the Indigenous people). I shared my sacred stone work with my Aboriginal friend, Gerry Bostock, who helped me, over many years, to understand the Indigenous customs and cultures. He confirmed their Ancient Dreaming Story of Uluru coming from the stars. Gerry was an elder, healer, film-maker, and storyteller/writer and gave lectures at university. And so, as a Star Person, I hope that the existence of Uluru and its Magic, such as how it came from the stars, can be understood by everyone. The Indigenous people know and tell the stories I'm about to tell but in different ways. I now want to explain in a scientific way. But it is still the same information.

Uluru, or Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone monolith in the heart of the Northern Territory's arid "Red Centre". Uluru is sacred to indigenous Australians and is thought to have started forming around 550 million years ago. It's within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, which also includes the 36 red-rock domes of the Kata Tjuta (colloquially “The Olgas”) formation. Geetha Mathivanan explains the uniqueness of Uluru and its importance to the Aboriginal communities in “Namma Australia”. It was originally broadcasted in 2018.  - சுமார் 50 கோடி ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு உருவானதாக ஆய்வுகள் கூறும் உலுரு பாறை என்பது வெறும் ஒற்றைப் பாறையல்ல. ஏன் உலுரு பாறை இந்த நாட்டின் பூர்வீக மக்களுக்கு புனிதமானது? அதிமுக்கியத்துவம் மிக்கது? ஆஸ்திரேலியாவின் உலுரு எனும் அதிசயப் பாறை குறித்த அரிய தகவல்களை “நம்ம ஆஸ்திரேலியா” நிகழ்ச்சி மூலம் முன்வைக்கிறார் கீதா மதிவாணன் அவர்கள். இந்த நிகழ்ச்சி முதலில் 2018 ஆம் ஆண்டு ஒலிபரப்பானது. இது ஒரு மறு ஒலிபரப்பும், மீள் பதிவுமாகும்.

Uluru or Ayers Rock is one of Australias most recognizable natural landmarks. It is a huge rock, as big as a mountain, located about 450 Km south west of Alice Springs, at 863 m above the sea level.The rocks size is 2.4 km by 1.6 km and 335 m height. - نعم، إنها أولورو أو آيرز روك في وسط الشمال الأسترالي، على بعد 450 كم تقريباً، جنوب غرب مدينة أليس سبرينجز في مقاطعة أراضي الشمال، وهي تكوين صخري مدرج على قائمة مواقع التراث العالمي لمنظمة اليونسكو.

Der Mythologie Podcast für kulturbanausische Menschen geht bereits in die 15. Runde. Sarah erzählt Steffi einen Mythos der indigenen Bevölkerung Australiens. Es geht um die Entstehung des Uluru (aka Ayers Rock) und um die mythischen australischen Völker der sogenannten Traumzeit, die dafür verantwortlich waren. Lange Geschichte schnell erzählt: Die Windluka - Mulgasamen-Menschen - löschen aus verletztem Stolz erst das Volk der Mala - Hasenkänguru-Menschen - aus (bzw. vertreiben es) und starten dann (mithilfe von Giftschlangen-Menschen) einen epischen Kampf mit den Kunia - Teppichschlangen-Menschen -, in dessen Verlauf der Uluru als Inselberg mitten auf dem flachen Land entsteht. Geht gut ab, also viel Spaß.Steffi und Sarah sprechen wie immer auch kurz über den Prinzen und haben endlich endlich endlich mit dem Sommerhaus der Stars starten können. Einiges daran hat die beiden sehr aufgeregt. Außerdem gehen unsere beiden Heldinnen einen für sie voraussichtlich noch verheerenden Handel ein... Die heutigen Sad-Song-Tipps der 90er und frühen 2000er lauten: "Whole Again" von Atomic Kitten und "Closer" von Tegan und Sara. Ab jetzt gibt es auch eine Spotify-Playlist mit dem schönen Namen "sad songs from mythos und wahrheit" (Disclaimer: Nicht alle Songs sind sad, weil Sarah am Anfang nicht richtig zugehört hat und Steffi nicht sad ist und Sarah eigentlich auch nicht).

After the sun had set on August 16th, 1980 at Ayers Rock in Central Australia, 32-year-old Lindy Chamberlain ran from the tent at her campsite towards the communal barbecue area, screaming that a dingo had her baby. Nine-week-old Azaria Chamberlain, who'd been put to sleep just a few minutes earlier by her mother, Lindy, had disappeared from the tent. Lindy watched as a dingo ran out of their tent, carrying something in its mouth. A search ensued, but the baby's remains were never found. Was a wild dingo to blame for the death of the baby girl, or were her parents covering up a murder?

Μαζί σας είναι ο Δημήτρης, αυτός είμαι εγώ και η... Μαριλένα: [0:35] Και εγώ είμαι η Μαριλένα. Δημήτρης: [0:38] Πώς είσαι, Μαριλού; Ζεσταίνεσαι τόσο πολύ όσο εγώ; Μαριλένα: [0:41] Ναι, δεν, δεν είμαι καλά αυτή τη στιγμή. Έχουμε καύσωνα στην Αθήνα. Δημήτρης: [0:46] Έχουμε καύσωνα και όχι μόνο αυτό, δεν μπορούμε να έχουμε air-condition γιατί κάνουνε θόρυβο, δεν μπορούμε να 'χουμε ανεμιστήρες γιατί κάνουνε θόρυβο, δεν μπορούμε να 'χουμε ανοιχτά τα παράθυρα γιατί είμαστε δίπλα σε έναν πολυσύχναστο δρόμο και ουσιαστικά κάνουμε ηχογράφηση από τα δωμάτια που είναι πιο κοντά στο δρόμο, ε... οπότε είναι δύσκολη φάση. Πριν μιλήσουμε παραπάνω για τον καιρό γιατί αποφασίσαμε αυτό να είναι το θέμα μας μ' αυτή τη ζέστη, μας βγήκε φυσικά η ανάγκη να μοιραστούμε τον πόνο μας, ε... να παίξουμε λίγο ένα ηχητικό, το πρώτο μας ηχητικό μήνυμα που μας έστειλε ακροατής, για την ακρίβεια ακροάτρια. Σας το βάζω. Κατερίνα Γεια σας, είμαι η Κατερίνα. Είμαι 15 χρονών και ακούω το podcast σας εδώ και μερικούς μήνες. Ε, ζω στο Βερολίνο γιατί η μητέρα μου είναι Γερμανίδα και ο πατέρας μου είναι απ' την Ελλάδα. Κι έτσι για να εξασκηθώ λίγο περισσότερο στην ελληνική γλώσσα έψαξα ελληνικά podcast και ευτυχώς βρήκα εσάς. Μου αρέσει το podcast σας, τα θέματα για τα οποία μιλάτε είναι πάντα ενδιαφέροντα και συνεχίστε έτσι και να 'στε καλά. Δημήτρης: [2:10] Ευχαριστούμε πάρα πολύ, Κατερίνα, που μας έστειλες αυτό το μήνυμα, να 'σαι καλά που μας ακούς, χαιρόμαστε που σε βοηθάμε να κρατήσεις μία επαφή με τη γλώσσα. Μιλάς πολύ ωραία όπως και να 'χει. Άμα θέλετε και εσείς να ακούσετε τη φωνή σας στο podcast μας, μπορείτε να κάνετε ό,τι έκανε και η Κατερίνα, μπορείτε να μας στείλετε ένα ηχητικό μήνυμα. Θα χαρούμε πολύ να το ακούσουμε. Λοιπόν, Μαριλού, εσύ μπορείς πιο εύκολα το κρύο, το πολύ κρύο ή την πολλή ζέστη; Τι αντέχεις περισσότερο; Μαριλένα: [2:43] Τίποτα από τα δύο. (Χαίρω πολύ) Εγώ έχω το εξής θέμα: όταν έχει πολλή ζέστη, όπως τώρα, λέω «πω-πω να 'χε πολύ κρύο», όταν έχει πολύ κρύο λέω «πω-πω να είχε πολλή ζέστη». Ή τουλάχιστον ζέστη. Κοίτα, νομίζω ότι αντέχω τη ζέστη πιο πολύ, ίσως επειδή και το δέρμα μου είναι πιο... πιο σκούρο και πιο μελαχρινό κάπως να το αντέχει. Ε... Από την άλλη, δεν περνάω καλά σήμερα. Και σκέφτομαι ότι και το κρύο μου αρέσει. Δηλαδή... Όχι βέβαια το πάρα πολύ κρύο, στο πάρα πολύ κρύο μού βγαίνει ένας φόβος που τον έχω κληρονομήσει, εσύ το ξέρεις πάρα πολύ καλά, από τον μπαμπά μου ο οποίος φοβάται πάρα πολύ, παιδιά, πάρα πάρα πολύ το κρύο. Είναι, νομίζω, ο μεγαλύτερος του φόβος. Μην κρυώσει και μην αρρωστήσει και μην πονέσει ο λαιμός του. Όπως λέει χαρακτηριστικά, μην παγώσει η μέση του. Οπότε μου το έχει περάσει αυτός και σε μένα και άπαξ και έχει κρύο ξαφνικά νομίζω ότι πονάει ο λαιμός μου, ότι θα ανεβάσω πυρετό, ότι θα πέσω στο κρεβάτι για πολλές μέρες. Οπότε, ναι, κατά κύριο λόγο προτιμώ το κρύο. [4:00] Αλλά το φοβάμαι κιόλας. Δηλαδή αντέχω και τη ζέστη, αντέχω και το κρύο αλλά το κρύο το φοβάμαι περισσότερο. Για μένα. Για το μωρό φοβάμαι περισσότερο τη ζέστη. Θα σου πω μετά γι' αυτό.

I want to take this particular photo Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  0:18   here, we can do this Welcome back to The Art of Photography podcast where we share our passion as a photographer, and we share how photography has brought hope, purpose and even happiness to our life. So today we have someone very special from Perth. I met him back during one of the project is called the 730 project. We were we were doing that as fundraising. And he is definitely one of the top Perth event photographer and one of the most creative photographer out there. He definitely find beautiful things in the order in ordinary things. So I'm very excited to welcome Johan is, are you doing your hunters? Johannes Reinhart  1:09   Yeah, good. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  1:12   Yeah, no, great. How's things back in Perth? Johannes Reinhart  1:15   Pretty good. We don't have much COVID restrictions or life goes mostly normal. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  1:21   And it's crazy. It's just amazing. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy. I mean, like, it's crazy how people can you know, all the everything's open to venues and stuff. Like there's practically banging? Well, I guess that's the one advantage of being the most isolated city in the world. A Johannes Reinhart  1:37   definitely. Yeah. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  1:40   All right. So like, thanks a lot for coming in. And yeah, we met on, you know, that is 730 project there. And I think that was the first time I met you, which was a little bit embarrassing, because you're very young. It looks like everyone knows you. And you got definitely one of the top photographers begging for them, especially to learn from. Give us a little bit just introduction about yourself, you know, where are you? Where are you coming from in what type of photography you do and how you kind of get there. Johannes Reinhart  2:15   Because I come from Germany, and it's where the accent is, I moved to Australia, I think I was 25. And I live here for 20 years already. And I started photography, probably around 25 years ago, like proper way, I bought my first SLR camera and then really gotten into it. And in the last summit in 2003, I started going out professionally as well maybe like, after 789 years, being really keen photographer. So I shot a wedding at you know, we went to a wedding and took some pictures. And that turned out better than the ones from the wedding photographer. And the same thing happened again that year for another wedding. And then I thought I'm becoming a wedding photographer. So I started Yes, I started off as a wedding photographer, you know, just like, Okay, I'm a wedding photographer now. And that's why they're and you know, and then learning and then all learning and then digital came around. And then everything had to be learned kind of new, you know, computers and colour management, all that. And then and then after a couple of years, I didn't really pick up my camera anymore. Because I was associated picking the camera up with Burke and and then through some coincidence, and there was this photographer, like PIP photographers and Kurth group on Flickr. And then people being like going out and meeting each other. And I always did photography in isolation, really. And so Oh, there's other people like me, isn't that amazing? And then I went out and to the mates and we shared the photos after on online I mean, it's all normal now but back then, it was like to start off the internet, so to speak. And then I've really reignited my passion for photography. And I also realised what I've lost with you know, not picking up the camera for myself anymore for my own book. Just for playing around and then yeah, and then I never stopped, you know, taking pictures for myself and my personal work is really important to me, like I mean I'm really busy doing professional work which I kind of shoot everything nowadays, but I concentrated events and especially performance and a bit of commercial and bit of everything and teaching obviously. So it's it's a nice variety nowadays, that I can Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  4:37   set that up. So would you say that performance and art photography is your main passion? Is that why you kind of you know, sway into that categories or Johannes Reinhart  4:51   nothing? Well yes and no performance for that used to be a passionate because it was so you know a such a different world. Hold on I Love You know, having access and the camera is a bit like a passport as the saying goes. So you Yeah, I I, I had total passion for performance photography and now I'm doing it for maybe over 10 years and then so it's not in I really love it. But it's it's kinda it's not this strange, exotic real animals, everything kind of becomes quite normal, which is really interesting, isn't it? And it's definitely a passion but at the moment I'm, I'm, I'm more kind of interested in my personal work I'm more interested in like, which sometimes performance matches like themes like light and shadow and alienation and life and death and loneliness and and subcultures, which, which performance, obviously, part of. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  5:51   Yeah, that's, that's really cool. I think definitely one of the photo that really catch caught my eyes on that project was that, just that the way you play with the shadow, you know, playing that contrast, it was it was, I never actually do that, in previous to that it was, it was mostly about, you know, trying to get the even lighting, make sure that all the subject is lined up. And it was, it was definitely a big mind shift, when, when I first saw that I was like, wow, like, you know, like, you don't have to see the dark, like, you don't have to see what's under the shadow, it actually could create something, like, quite unique about it. So that was really cool to see. What, what inspires you to, you know, do to do that kind of photography in the first place? Is it just as a, like, accident that you kind of come across it? Or was there an inspiration somewhere along the line Johannes Reinhart  6:49   that already leads back to my childhood? Because I, I've been really drawn to, you know, days to be black and white photographs and magazines and papers. I don't know where I've seen them. But I've been really drawn to Yeah, with the stark contrast the images, which, which those sometimes used to do and then when I had a camera, I kind of tried to do that. And obviously it doesn't quite work like that. And then you come to Australia and the sun is so much harsher than in Europe, as you know. Yeah, it's crazy. Like in Germany, if I should, in the middle of the diet, it's like a kind of overcast ish, almost overcast dish down here, the lights really soft in comparison. And in Perth, we have this extraordinary hard light. So you can create you know, if you expose for the highlights and your shadows become really deep and dark and, and I really love that kind of effect. And I'm, I'm naturally drawn towards it that just sort of an extension of myself really? Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  7:47   Well that's, that's really interesting, you know, like, because, you know, most photographers look for that soft light, right? Where we're taught, like, hey, you know, go in the morning, or go in the afternoon where the light is soft. But here you are, like just taking advantage of something totally different. Something that's just so harsh, and people would probably stay at home, I probably would be stay at home by that time. But you take that into advantage. That's really cool. Johannes Reinhart  8:14   So can I just say something for that? Yeah, for sure. So it also came through necessity because I'm a stay at home dad, and I look after my kids and when they were little. So now they're teenagers, but whenever little is like during the day was the only time I could go out and have my own life. So, so I was like, I felt like I'm the lunchtime photographer, you know, the middle of the day here, I'm out and then I just kind of had to do with what I got. And then that's another layer that kind of added on to that. Yeah, that's I think Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  8:45   that's that's also an important factor. You know, a lot of a lot of photographers out there, especially the one that can just start it, see those explosive sunset or sunrise, you know, for landscape or, you know, a special lighting and we are so fixated with those lighting, that, you know, if we go to the location, and then we didn't get that light, we would just pack our gear and go home which, you know, you said it perfectly sometimes you just have to take advantage of were what was the condition that you have? So that's that's really amazing. Yeah, so what what was your what's your biggest inspiration if there is any, you know, what, what, how does this creativity mind works? Like, you know, what sparked this create DVD? I suppose. Johannes Reinhart  9:35   That's a really hard question for me. It's like, I just thought back and mind I mean, the Magnum photographers used to inspire me. And now because I do photography for a long time and like 20 years intensively really, or obsessively could say, so now at the moment my inspirations really kind of trying to go deeper in my own personal work and vision and whatever that means, I don't even know what that means but but that's the kind of place I want to go to. So I kind of work on projects, I just finished a book from a Japan holiday that I might free books out of it, one family, one, street photography, and one that's about to do with, you know, the temporary nests of everything in our whole life. And, and, and, and that's just me, you know, being in middle age and trying to get my head around, but I'm going to die 40 years, maybe sooner. And just kind of being more aware of my time is limited here. And, and it just comes out in the work I should naturally and then it's like sequencing and putting it together and finding the theme. And just how I photograph, usually it's very much based on serendipity, I kind of go through everything a little bit. I something pops up, and then I go Oh, that's interesting. And I take note and and then over time I work out what are the important themes in my work, or what are themes in my work that just naturally come up and trying to kind of dig in on that and move forward. And so it's all like it, it's, it's a little bit like just finding myself and photography helps me to kind of put a light to what's in my subconscious then I can learn our game that's going on, because the subconscious was like maybe a year ahead or half a year ahead of what you actually know what's going on. And, and then just trying to combine it with my photography and learn about myself and my feelings. And, and, and also have fun and just like we beat New Zealand in January, which was very, very good timing and very lucky. And I was so excited about you know, discovering all I mean, we go for those beautiful nature walks and seeing those amazing things and, and I'm there with my camera as I can capture it and I'm so excited. And I think photography with photography, the the whole worlds like a treasure box, really. And it's just like, going out and discovering what's around the corner here and what's there and, and that brings a lot of joy into for me and capturing that it's a lot more fun for me than just seeing it. So because then I guess I can go hey, look at this. Look, look what I've seen, you know, and I mean, when I go with my family, I go oh, look at this and amazing, they're lucky or whatever. And once I take a picture, sometimes they go oh, that's actually not bad. Yeah, that's, Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  12:43   that's a it's really funny, isn't it? Like, and it's really cool as well, like, how so basically, you're saying, you know, use photography as a way to express yourself and, you know, express your kind of inner thought and where you can going or what's in your head? In terms of photograph? Yeah, so like that, I find that it's really definitely one of the reasons that a lot, a lot of us do photography as a creative outlet. So how does that you know, how do you look beyond the ordinary? You know, because I see a lot of your photos, you, you, you focus on things that people wouldn't focus on just the quirky things, the little small details. And that was the one thing that I really noticed, you know, when I was there next, you cannot watch your work. It was just like, wow, and it was just like, how did he think of this just like blow you out of your mind, because it's not something that people would normally think about. Johannes Reinhart  13:47   When it comes to I think there's two different layers of it. One is I'm not interested in just another pretty picture. So I'm, I you know, that's how you start off or that's how I started off, you know, trying to emulate the photographer scene and emulate, you know, the great photos or, you know, Christian Fletcher took this photo of something and you know, and Duncan and you have that in mind when you go to Ayers Rock and you're trying to take kinda that similar photo and then you're very proud when just looks kind of similar. And then and then the next step was like, more finding my own voice and because I mean me lighting is just a great thing to learn photography, but then it's really like it might have been when I went to photo for you, which might have been 2003 or four. There was photo for you and then I went there and I say in photography that kind of found confronting is like, what this is, like supposed to be good photography, you know, because it wasn't just pretty pictures and then and that kind of really opened up my my world and seeing this was photography and that is photography and then going okay, what is it that I do? And I guess then I took a little bit of is a free pass to explore, go a little more me personal. And for a number of years, I was really struggling with that, you know, like this is popular and you feel like you're supposed to do what's popular, right. But then it's also but I prefer those pictures, you know. And then eventually, I ended up winning prices winning documentary photographer of the year, at the IPP with my own picture with that, yeah, put my own pictures in, I actually won. And I was like, amazing. And then that really manifested in my, okay, I, I basically, I won those prices, because I did what I did my own thing anyway. And then it's after that, it became really easy to just follow my own thing. And nowadays, I just do my photography, the why, in my personal work, do my photography that the way I want to do it. And then and it's very easy just to and then the other part of that is I go out and I try, I basically go out with an open mind and just look around and see what I find. And just trust in my gut instinct and trust in serendipity and, and often start with light in our NSA some interesting light somewhere, and then I look closer, and then I find something and then if I react to it, and then I start to take pictures of it. And then I mean, obviously if I react to it, and there's there's something that interests me, and I just kind of follow that. So yeah, like a treasure hunt, like, like in New Zealand. Yeah, that's, that's come out the way I like it in a way, which does not there many pretty pictures. But I don't know, oh, they're a little more more clutter, they're not as clean, I think I could shoot a lot more cleaner. If I and I do that more in my commercial work, where things are more orderly and clean. And in my personal work, it's sometimes maybe a little messy, but there's still some structure to it. And I guess my brain is a bit messy. So it just comes out like that. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  17:03   So that's, that's really cool to hear. And, you know, it's, I think a lot, a lot of people out there might have that thinking of, or pressure I should say, or pressure of reproducing something that you know, is beautiful as what the status quo accepted. So that's great to hear that you say that because, you know, it was a testament to itself that you you were able to win an awards just by being original. So you know, what sort of advice would you say to people who kind of just started and struggled to find their voice or, you know, try to find to be where you are right now. And they are still in the emulation sort of period. Yeah, Johannes Reinhart  17:51   I mean, just be yourself. Really, it's, it's sounds simple. And it is it is hard, because I mean, the old trying to fit in, like all of us, and I mean, the older you grow, maybe then you have a bit more luck with that, I just do my own thing, I think he probably really helps. It also really helps that I I had recognition with doing what I do. And then you know, it took like 10 years to get there. And I was sometimes really torn and not knowing what I'm supposed to do and, and but I learned by winning awards, I learned that you know, it doesn't really matter, like it's you just do your own thing and and if you get recognition, that's great. And if you don't get recognition at least you do work that's meaningful to you. And and that's I think that's a bigger price than winning awards. By ending up having photos they mean something to you and I got a couple of projects that that you know, they go a lot deeper and they're a lot more they're kind of important that in my life the kind of key the mark sort of key points and that came out in photography and I have a lot of pretty pictures that are really nice that you could hang up the wall but I don't really I don't have no deeper connection to them so they they're just kind of nice in our and maybe they get likes on Facebook or Instagram but they don't they don't do anything other than just being pretty to me and and I guess for your listeners if you if you just go out and you do you do what you connect with and you do things uy uy just means you like it like this and you're like high contrast or low contrast and it's just do that and and don't worry about you know the likes and what how it resonates with other people initially because if you just posted it just post you what you will really like to do over a period of time you will attract the people who connect to that kind of thing. And then you know in the long run you're gonna get your your recognition run by people liking what you do. And don't worry so much about the gatekeepers. You know, like we all we get recognition from our friends or friends, God is amazing. This is awesome, you know, but we want it from some strange, unknown people like an industry or somewhere that that we don't even know. But we want the recognition from them. And, and I mean, what does what's more important your friends are some random stranger really. So put emphasis on that to just play like, you know, move, move the blocks around a bit and give yourself the freedom to just go and explore. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  20:36   Yeah, that's that's a really good advice. I think that's, it's really powerful to say that, you know, do what, express yourself and do what do what's right for you and let those people that resonate with you follow you and not worry about those people who doesn't follow you, or doesn't resonate with you. So I think that's a really good advice. So, you know, you were sharing earlier about meeting up with this group of photographers and they were going out together and that kind of sparks back your your photography after kind of a wall, how important it is to have a community and you know, being able to be part of community in terms of progressing your photography, I guess not only just progressing your photography, but also enjoying photography. Johannes Reinhart  21:31   Yeah, I think it's like, for me, it's more enjoying photography and also enjoying connecting to people and, and sometimes I guess we feel, you know, like, I had this from a lot of photographers or artists, they feel a little isolated. I feel like I'm a bit weird. And then you go to a photographer's me, then you go, or I'm not the only weird one. There's, there's lots of us. That's, that's a really nice thing too. You know, I mean, I have friends of our family friends, we have friends who get my photography, and we have friends who just don't get you know that they like to pretty pictures and they go, Oh, that's great. But if I show them like my RT book, then I go it's all a bit strange and random. You know, not not everybody's gonna get it. And, and yeah, photography mates. It's nice to meet those people. And you can, I mean, human connection is like, many when you look at life, I think that's, that's the biggest thing, like your family and friends comes, I think when you all that comes before everything else it will crystallise for I think for most people. And photography is like a way to make friends and to meet people and be don't feel so lonely and isolated, I guess. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  22:46   Yeah, it's, it's actually really interesting that you say that, because sometimes photography, for me is a good thing. It's a thing to run away and actually be alone and isolated. And I think it's one of the reasons why I like to do Astro photography, because, you know, he was so serene, like, you know, being out there at night. And yet you you don't feel alone, because you know, you get to enjoy all the stars. And it just give me a perception that there's somebody out there. So yeah, it's really, it's really interesting to see that different perspective. And you know, how everyone have that different perspective. So what, sir, yeah, Johannes Reinhart  23:25   good. Yeah, but um, I totally get what you do. And I do that too. And, and I'm an introvert and I need time on on my own, but then it's, it's also really nice to be kind of connected to photographic community. Like, for me, it's a real benefit. To be, you know, to have that community. Yeah. And then, also going out alone. I mean, my best pictures I usually take when I'm on my own, because that's where you can really focus and connect with what you're photographing. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  23:57   Yeah, it's, yeah, it's, it's very interesting. I mean, like, one of the things that I like about hanging out with like, other photographers is just the inspiration and different perspective that I get learn from them. And, you know, like, for example, when I was meeting you or like, for example, now I'm part of the collective exhibitions, shorts, photo exhibition, and that was that there was a big sort of mind shift in my photography, because I saw some photography that I've never seen before. And I was like, wow, like, you know, possibilities, just analysts. So so that's really cool that you know, you kind of have that realisation and you know, follow that your own path. So how how do you translate a lot of this in terms of to your do your professional work you know, because then you how do you how do people can see is like, Okay, I'll hire Your Highness because he's really good. When a lot of your photo are more like, you know, really artsy and Really, I should say that a lot of people, like you say, hard to resonate with. Johannes Reinhart  25:06   I mean, the ones I've posted are mostly mostly like what I consider the cool photos. And then so that's in other performance ones, a lot of them apply to most of them. And some event photos sometimes I post but mostly it's like work I finished the job and I kind of move on to the next one. So it kind of works because I have enough people who know me and know my work and I've worked for them previously or that you hear recommendations are made my business kind of doesn't run online, it is just like word of mouth and, and I don't actually post that much. I started posting a little bit more with COVID since I lost all my work and then I thought oh, maybe I should post a bit of this what I can do kind of thing for you. Yeah, the business is it's a little bit different as an I photograph to you know, you need a product or you need a promo shot or you need a photo for specific purpose and trying to deliver on that purpose and provide value to you. And I've been very lucky because I shot weddings for almost 15 years. And then I realised I don't have the passion for it anymore. And I thought it's time to move on. And I was really worried that you know, I don't get enough business after because that's my bread and butter. And then I just realised very quickly that I said no to a lot of jobs when you know when when people ring as I can you do this next week, and often they go can you do this next week, and I always had to say no, because I've been booked out with weddings, and I didn't really realise that so so much. So that really helped and I started teaching and then over the over the years I've build up performance photography, especially at fringe and a little bit during the year to that kind of Yeah, just just just by doing it passion first for passion for a while and then you know works kind of crystallised out of that and then more work crystallised out of that. And nowadays, I don't shoot many shows for free anymore, so to speak, you know, the most of them are paid. And when I shoot free, I'm shooting very different. I'm picturing fairy, like I'm trying to get artistic photos, which are sometimes better, or I find them better, but they're really hard to photograph and you missed a lot of good shots, if you follow down at artistic rabbit hole, because then I go blurry, and I go, you know, all sorts of stuff. Because I'm really, in my personal work, I'm experimenting, like a lot, and I just, I just play around in a way. And through the applying, I'm learning and become a better photographer, which then feeds into my professional work that, you know, I have all those tricks up my sleeve that I could, you know, this scenario could do this, and that's an I could do that. And I you know, break it up here a little bit and they and and also realised over the years people book me for my artistry, not just for commercially pretty, like, you know, nice, nice images, they also want a little bit on maybe extra feeling or something. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  28:18   Yeah, that's, that's really cool. Because, you know, at the end of the day, it's it's come back to what you say about being yourself and then just let those people who can resonate, you know, come to you and not worry about those. So that that really, really good to see how that translate just not only in the personal side, but also to professional so so I want to talk more about your event photography side of things, you know, you take the amazing event photos, performances and stuff like that. Whereas a lot of this angle came from you know, like the the creativity and you know, playing around with the lights and so forth, the poses and so forth. Johannes Reinhart  29:02   Well, depending on where it is, it always often always starts with light, I look for good light. And as an event photographer, especially if performance photographer, you you are a little bit at the mercy of the lighting guy or the lighting, shot out show connections last week that had amazing lighting and now in it, it makes my job to create powerful images like much easier even though I was like a crazy man. But, but you know, like if they liked it well and they have to smoke for extra effect and all that that really adds or like in French, you know, the Spiegeltent shows so much better than some of the other venues where you just have one spotlight, and that's about it and then you a lot more limited in what you can do as a photographer. So light comes first and then the performance because I mostly should live performance. It's And it's really, by, by doing a lot of my doing a lot of photography does this kind of sixth sense to know when to press the button and things line up to you kind of now, I mean, you, you keep a light, you know, is obviously something I pay a lot of attention towards, and then the performance to and and, you know, you soom in and you zoom out and just trying to anticipate what's going to happen next, which then experience experience really helps, you know, like, you've seen a lot of shows and do certain things do you think art is probably going to something, something big is gonna happen? Maybe soon, that I better be ready to capture that, you know, over fire, you know, when I go fire, you know, and you have to then underexposed before it starts. So you're ready, and then and you hope you do, right. And because there's only one goes on often. And then you know, zoom out a bit, because often that that fire goes up. So it's just the experience and trial and error and, and everything I do you I kind of put in a memory bank, and I was like anything you've ser that works, I put in a memory bank. And I just kind of keep building on that. Yeah, that's cool. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  31:11   I do that as well, in terms of the memory bank, I think like, you know, you find a little quirky technique that comes up really nice, or that you really like you just like, oh, yeah, that's, that's a good technique, if it and then, you know, eventually, you have so many libraries you could play around with. But, um, and then, sorry, yeah, Johannes Reinhart  31:30   can I just add on to this. The other thing, the obvious thing that I haven't mentioned is, there's also the performance, I mean, they they bring their own artistry and creativity to this day, and their talent to the stage, and that, it kind of makes my job easy in a way, you know, because I don't have to make it all update, they create this world that I then really just kind of capture sometimes. And sometimes I'll fill in my own. Also with the Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  31:58   with the live performances, you know, I see a lot of your work with the performance photography, it's, it's, it's usually on a dark condition, right, it's really dark, and then you got maybe a spotlight and hence what you say about how light is important. The ticker is true in terms of how do you go about and thinking about you know, because the most important things is in photography is light timing and placement, right, those three really dries the type of photo that you get. So how do you go about this thing? And how do you you know, how do you know when it's how do you decide I suppose not to know because you know, knowing can be from experience, but how do you decide when you want to go to this angle that angle or overexposed underexposed, and so forth. Johannes Reinhart  32:54   A lot of it is it's, it's a bit like being a documentary photographer, or wedding photographer, where you just you kind of photograph and you anticipate what's going to happen next and you think, is just going to be better from this side or that side. Or, or sometimes I like to move around. So it's not all just the same angles, there's not just you know, same angles as a TV camera will be which often is the best angle like the front and centre, you know, but you know, if you run around and you should from the sign up closer and shoot up and you just get more variety for for the client. And then you Yeah, it's really like trusting my gut instinct a lot. Or I'm going oh my god, this is gonna happen I'd better shoot off to the middle again, because then just needs to be photographed in the middle. So it's, it's I think previous visualisation plays a big role in that that you experience the performance especially where you can anticipate you kind of know a few things by seeing a lot of shows that this might go this way or that might go that way. And and then yeah, and then just paying attention to light and your camera settings and under exposes like I'm mostly exposed more to the right so I don't really try and blow on highlights but then sometimes I just go darker and then it's just I say something and I I react to it and I go I got to photograph it this way or that way and everything happens so fast that you really just kind of I don't know like it's like it's being driven Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  34:30   cool. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz you go to this to this performance is the first time isn't it? It's not like you go there once and then you can watch Johannes Reinhart  34:40   a lot of Yeah, on most shows I should one time sometimes i I'm lucky. I should, you know, like, design people who put shows on and then some parts of that is similar as seen a couple of performers that I rephotographed and then sometimes so you design your shows or whatever, start off this I'm going to change it later slide. It gives me more sense of what might happen. But yeah, a lot of them is just reacting to because every time they put on a different show, it's usually it is a different show. And then you just kind of, but that also keeps it really fresh. I mean, if I photographed a snapshot twice, I could, I could improve some photos of that. Definitely. But then by photographing a show once it keeps it fresh, and it's better for the budget of the company twice. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  35:37   Yeah, like, that's, that's really cool advice. And it's, yeah, I find it great. I mean, I've never really done it myself. But just in my head thinking about, man, how do you know when you know things going to happen? And you know, when kind of placing yourself and especially when you saw it for the first time is, it's almost like you always have to be ready or something like that. A? Yeah. Johannes Reinhart  35:59   I take a lot of photos. Usually. It's not like film. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  36:06   It's that's the good thing about the digital camera. Right? Yeah. Cool. So now that's awesome. I love how how you share your perspective, or you hear that, you know, go with your gut. I think you said that a lot in this conversation, conversation is that go with your gut, and trust yourself and express yourself. I think those are the few things that are really important. So if you were to go back, let's say, you know, let's say you wake up tomorrow, and you lost all your skills, and you have to start all over again. How would you do? Like, you know, for those of you for those of the listeners who kind of just get started and want to get to it, you know, how would you do it? What are the steps that you would take? Johannes Reinhart  36:55   So what I, what I really, if I lose everything, I kind of want to lose it in a way that I also don't remember that I had the skill before. So I can just be fresh. And the beauty is like, the beauty is, when you don't do photography for very long, that you have this kind of inner sense, and everything is new and exciting and fresh. And I don't have that anymore, because I've been doing it so long. And yes, I can get probably a really good quality consistently. But the images that excite me, for me, it's much harder to get those images, because you just don't find them very often. And when you when you're just starting out, you know, like an image that maybe five years from that time you took it you think, Oh, this is amazing. And three years ago, oh, actually, it wasn't. But at the time was amazing, and a lot more things are amazing. And that, that that is really so beautiful. And I think it needs to be enjoyed. And rather than trying to be somewhere at the top, whatever the top might be, because, um, you know, that all those things are kind of, I feel like they're a little bit concepts, you know, I mean, I don't see myself at the top, I just do my photography. And, and it's, it's really great that I'm very lucky that I have a lot of people connect to my work. I made people who told me that they really love my photography, and I really valued it and, and appreciate it. At the same time, I just kind of do it for myself, it's kind of a little bit selfish, you know, exploring my little rabbit hole of photography, so to speak. And, and, yeah, and, and each stage you are on, like whether you're just starting out, or whether you're doing this for 10 or 20 years, it's, it's, there's a benefit to it, and you but you can't have everything and so just enjoy the state you in and not worry so much about, I guess external validation, that's, I think, a really big tip and just kind of do your own thing and, and ply and feel free and try not to force things too much. You know, I see a lot of people that kind of create it to the block, you know, because they kind of want to do something, but then in any event, I do that myself and you know, like a year and a half ago, I was like I wanted to do some great project, you know, I'm thinking about the outcome. Instead of thinking about the actual project and doing the project kind of freely, you know, I'm thinking about the outcome and because I want the outcome to be great. I put pressure on myself to even you know, even get started and can be blocked to even start which is kind of really the opposite of when you start out and pick up a camera and everything is just kind of playful and nice. And so I guess we all try to keep more of that so and I would really enjoy like you know, just starting out and and not knowing what I was good at and just you know, kind of just playing around. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  39:59   That's that's cool. I think that's really cool. You know, the fact that you see just focused on on having fun and enjoying it, that's, that's really amazing. We just have that conversation right there. You say something about, you know, just just gonna go your own way, enjoy it have that first perspective and have enjoy that first back first perspective. And as you kind of get get along, the more you do it that that excitement can go away. So, for yourself, um, you know, how do you keep the excitement going like do not burn now in photography, and to keep enjoying photography. Johannes Reinhart  40:41   I mean, I burn out once or twice a year, usually, usually when I work too much, and it's kind of I've gotten, I'll just say, I'm alright with that. I know, I need to back off, like, I just can't work all the time. But then, and then there's also lose my mojo at least once a year, if not three times a year, when I lose my mojo that I don't want to, I don't feel like picking up the camera. And I usually force myself to pick up the camera and just go, you know, I feel like, everything's a bit jaded and bit boring or whatever. And, and I'm not really in the mood to force myself to go out and take pictures, you know. And by going out, I find, you know, once I find something that I just really cool, then that gives me the first spark and then that leads to Oh, that's really cool, too. And then, you know, I got three of really cool things. And then then I'm back in, you know, enjoying photography and, and doing it. So for me, it really works to push myself and force myself not to not to force myself to pick up the camera and, and that will I learn from that, that, hey, I really love this. Because by doing it, I realised how much I actually love just capturing moments and, and looking at things. Because it's also reminds me of when I've been out on a photo walk, you know, and I'm thinking, you know, like, oh, isn't that nice? Here? Yes, I don't have to perfect clouds for this perfect landscape shot that you probably hoping for, you know, but I still find things here and there. And isn't it just nice just to be out in that beautiful environment and soak up the atmosphere even though it's not perfect for photography. And then I thought, you know, that was poor landscape photographer who make a living, they go out and I think ash clouds are wrong. And it's, it's, it's the same sunset at the beach. But it's two different approaches, right? One is like, I'm so happy I can be here and enjoy it. And the others, like our shirt is not working. Because I want perfection. And Perfection doesn't happen every day. And I'm trying to be more than that, that first one, we're just trying to enjoy my environment. Even if I don't get the perfect pictures, and I'm quite famous. So Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  43:02   it's interesting that you say like, because I think I'm not well, maybe I'll just speaking for myself, but I feel like a lot of photographers out there are really perfectionist about their art, like, you know, they, they really want to make sure that everything's right that you know that the noise is really low. Well, most of the most of the time, like the viewer actually just enjoy it the way it is. So what have you, you know, what advice or what have you got to say to the listeners out there who really basically stopped progressing further or stopped taking more photo because they're looking for that perfect one photo. Johannes Reinhart  43:42   Yes. Like, open your eyes. And, and I guess, you know, you go down to the beach, just use the beach as an example you go down and, and you want to take this amazing picture of like a shovel of rock, you know, like, iconic web location. And then the clouds is you know, there, you take a really great photo there when the clouds landscape is as always to do the clouds have to be in the right spot. So it frames it just the right way, right. And you want to match them with sunset time. If those two things don't match up, you know, you can go there like 200 times a year and maybe five or six times a year you get something that's close to perfect. And maybe once a year or once every two years from that spot that you think is the best spot to photograph you might only get that once and then but the thing is like when the clouds are a little off you can move left or right to Frank a subject you know so you don't get it from the perfect spot but just by moving around a lot. You can you know work compositionally and then when you open your eyes you can find a lot of other things you know there's this decide Robin Sugarloaf that looks a little bit like a hawk, you know that. You can just take a photo of that and last time I was there after sunset, I was like seagulls landing on and Flying offence I took kind of, you know, sumed in the big lens and, and took photos of that in blurry birds and, and it's really like keeping an open mind, you know, like, look around and keep an open mind and don't get stuck on, I want to take this particular photo and but it's more like reacting to what's around you and making making the most of it working with what you got in and then looking around you know and keep keep looking to see what you find. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  45:28   Yeah, that's, that's awesome that is really awesome. Like to get those kinds of photos I would imagine because, you know, those, those story that you just told me there, I was just thinking that requires a lot of observation and actually, you know, looking into the different thing and looking actually quite deep into the scene, right? How how long you usually spend in a spot do until you can, you know, come up or notice those quirky things that most people don't notice it. Johannes Reinhart  46:01   Yeah, no, I totally, I don't have much patience. I really thought about taking up painting and it's like, when I see them, I spent like three hours on a painting and it's on quarter finished or something it's like bigger than not for me. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  46:22   Yeah, I as Johannes Reinhart  46:23   long as if I don't find anything interesting, then I just usually keep walking, you know, walking around, and then and if I find something interesting, then I stay and linger on and then it depends on because, you know, often the lights good when Mendes happens and then so either now I got a couple hours I go out, you know, I'll go photographing for an hour or two. And then then I need to go home. Because it's like, it's time. So I just want the round. Really just, you know, I go to an area where I think there could be something. And then sometimes the light works, and sometimes the light doesn't work. So it's really like sometimes you got you got it, there's nothing here, you know, and then you just keep walking and, you know, it's always good to be out. That's what I tell myself anyway. And but you have to be out there because it's like hunting and then sometimes in Alabama think oh, there's nothing here then I see this tree and I'm really drawn towards this tree, you know, like, because the branches kind of reach up. And obviously, that's something I really connect with reaching up to the sky at the moment sort of thing and, and then you know, and then I photograph final group composition for that branch. And that, you know, that I find so so amazing at that time. And then the next thing is a bird lands on it. And then I you know, there's just a little extra something and then wait for the bird to be in the right spot. And then And that's like me like spending eight minutes just photographing just this tray with a bird and then I think is time to move on. You know, like the bird hasn't been that the perfect spot, but it's good enough. And I'm kind of I don't feel like engaged anymore. So I move on. I guess that's when I moved home and I don't feel engaged. Wow, Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  48:04   that's really interesting to hear that you are now patient guy because, you know, I saw a lot of that formula requires a lot of patience and you know, observation and actually watching you know, for a while until you kind of see those things. Johannes Reinhart  48:19   Yeah, usually, yeah, like, contract to cut every so I don't, I don't usually wait more than five minutes when I see like an error. I think I'd be a really cool picture and waiting for someone to come through it. And yeah, five minutes is I find it very hard to stand on a street corner without feeling like I'm going to be being up to something better so but by moving around, I mean that's that's a downside to that because I sometimes don't have this, you know, the perfect composition for people just walking through but then I'm not interesting, just pictures of people walking, for example. So when I walk straight and I might see a character that I'm gonna think oh, you know, that looked really interesting and I now over there does this doorway and so I kind of shoot off and trying to get him at that that doorway or, or just kind of react to the scene much more and I think the good side of that is that the photos are kind of more fresh than not as stage so to speak. And and by I think that really worked in the long run for me because sometimes you're lucky and you see something that's, that's out of the ordinary and obviously and then trying to capture it and and also try to capture it well and not just you know, just pointing the camera I'm thinking about okay, where are they going? What see I love it. What can I work with here? You know, sci fi at the beach, and that's this rainbow you know, and obviously none of the normal thing is to photograph the rainbow but then the next step is to step back and go. What else is around kits that can sell something I can use with the rainbow you know, some static element or is there Hey, that's a couple Hey, Guys, do you mind if I take a picture of you in rainbow? And it just kind of work with what you got? Or there's a dog and you chase the dog in front of that in the rainbow maybe or something? I don't know, especially when he left legs up. That'd be a picture anyway. Sorry. Yes, I react to and, and trying to make things work for what I got a lot. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  50:23   Awesome. So it's more like so literally where you say that you just basically capture a moment when it's there like you don't wait for it to happen. You don't stage us. You say it happens, then you capture it free? Yeah. Wow. That's amazing. Well, thanks a lot, Johan, is, you know, it's been a interesting conversation there. And there's a lot of things to do learn from that just both be so philosophically as well as technically in photography. So that's great. Like, thanks a lot for sharing that. So share with us what what kind of because you say you're like working in project, you have a project that you're working on at the moment? Johannes Reinhart  51:08   Yeah, I have one project I worked on for a week last year. It's called What's it called silently falling apart, and then I'm totally blocked to kind of restart it again. So that's going to be an exhibition in the long run, maybe, maybe in 22. Maybe even later, because it's it's a project that I'm trying to go deeper with this one, and I'm trying to really kind of shoot it till I feel like I got nothing left to give in this project not not to finish prematurely. Yeah, so that might be a while. And I guess the resistance is big for this project. So I'm kind of have to work with my own fears of overcoming and try not to put pressure on myself. And I, you know, there's a couple of blocks I've shifted in my head. So I give myself an opening to tell myself just be playful, just just basically see what happens, you know, don't don't make this bigger thing where you don't want to go into just kind of be playful and see what happens. That's, that's where I'm going. But lately, I've been really busy with work again, and then. And then it keeps going to school holidays and an astringent. And this after finishing this kind of an exhibition. And in digital next year, we plan for the book project and, and things just keep moving. Yeah. Awesome. I'll get there. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  52:33   I'm glad to hear I'm looking forward to that. But for the listener who's wanting to hear more about you and wanting to learn more about you where what is the best place for them to find you. Johannes Reinhart  52:46   So the best place is my website that's at www.yohannes.com.au. So Johan is J out h a double n Es. And there's a signup form to my newsletter, I started a newsletter a couple of months ago, that's kind of inspirational newsletter that I show a bit of what I do and then and it's really meant to kind of be more inspirational and not like, you know, like, yeah, it's got my voice a little bit and I think it's, it's quite nice. And then there's photo Mate, I'm going to do a bimonthly photo mate if you're from Perth. So that's where you're going to find out about that. And the productivity tips like yeah, better, like five different little things. And, and that keeps me on my toes and on top of everything else. And then Facebook and Instagram Yanis. Reinhard, yeah, Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  53:40   awesome. Awesome. Yeah, no, no worries, I will make sure that I have all that in in the description. So if you didn't get that, don't worry, it's all gonna be in description. But look, thanks a lot. You're honest, for being with us. And yeah, that was a great conversation there. And we can do so thank you very much for tuning in. And like I say, if you want to learn more about your harness, you can look it up in the description below. You can check out some of his art photos as well as his performance photo. I just love his performance photo. It's it's so it's so unique as well, this is just out there. And don't forget to subscribe below and follow. Let me know in the comment below. What do you think of this conversation? Let me know if you try some of them. You know, Hannah's tips there about coming up with something really different and something that really interesting that helps you to express yourself instead of just you know, taking photo that is the most popular one out there. But thanks a lot for tuning in. We get hunters and I will see you again next week. Until next time, Johannes Reinhart  54:58   thanks so much for having me. Awesome thank you bye  

Det store kontinent down under kan mere end bare være hjemland for AC/DC, Bee Gees og Ayers Rock. De er også grundstenen i Melbourne-bandet, Jet, som havde en kort og stormomsust karriere i 00'erne . men som nu er sammen igen. Tramp tager dig med tilbage til begyndelsen - og giver dig historien om både Australien - og Jet - i denne episode af myROCK myWAY. Vært: Mike Tramp

Ayers Rock is a massive red sandstone rock formation in the center of Australia. It’s best known for sticking out of the flat landscape like a giant red thumb.

Episode 77CreepyAustraliaG'day mates! Tonight on the Midnight Train we've decided to take another creepy trip! Last time we stayed stateside and headed to Texas, where they seem to have an inordinate amount of haunted bridges. This week we are heading to The Land Down Under! That's right Australia here we come. Not only can pretty much all the wildlife in Australia kill you… It's also chock full of creepy places as well! So, without further ado, throw another shrimp on the barbie, wrestle yourself a croc, pull out all the other Australian cliches you can, and take a trip with us to some of the creepiest, craziest places in Australia. No bridges… We promise!      We'll start off with a nice refreshing swim...OF DEATH!!! Local legend states that at the Babinda boulders, aka The Devil's Pool, there is something sinister going on. Legend has it that a long time ago, when the Yidinji tribe lived in the Babinda Valley, there was a tremendous upheaval that created these unusual shaped Boulders. In the tribe was Oolana, a very beautiful young woman.  Also in the tribe was Waroonoo, a very old, wise and respected elder. It was decided that these two should be given in marriage to one another, and so it was done.  Some time later, a wandering tribe came through the valley, and as was the friendly custom of the Yidinji, they made the strangers welcome, inviting them to stay.  In the visiting tribe was Dyga, a very handsome young man.  All eyes were upon him for his grace and beauty.  At first sight, Dyga and Oolana fell in love. Knowing full well that their desire for each other would never be permitted, they ran away.  Oolana knew she could now never return as she was rightfully married to Waroonoo.  They journeyed well up into the valley; spending wonderful, happy days together and they camped under Chooreechillum, near the water’s edge. The two tribes had been searching for them and it was at this spot, they came upon the two lovers.  The wandering tribesmen seized Dyga, forcing him away, calling how they had been shamed and how they would travel far away and never return.  The Yidinjis had taken hold of Oolana and were dragging her back, forcing her to return with them to the rest of the tribe.  Suddenly, she broke away and violently flung herself forward into the gentle waters of the creek, as she called and cried for Dyga to return to her, but the wandering tribe had gone, and with them her handsome lover. Would he ever return?  Just at the very instant Oolana struck the water, a tremendous upheaval occurred.  The land shook with terror and sorrow as Oolana cried for her lost lover to come to her.  Her anguished cries spilled out as rushing water came cascading over the whole area.  Huge boulders were thrown up and she disappeared into them.  Oolana seemed to become part of the stones as if to guard the very spot where it all happened. It is said that to this day her spirit resides at the Devil's Pool and lures young men to their deaths. Since 1959 almost 20 young men have died there. Is it a result of the restless siren spirit of Oolana or just a result of carelessness on behalf of these young men. As we are the Midnight Train, We'll go with the daunting spirit of a broken-hearted & scorned woman.        Next up we'll take you to a place that kinda hits closer to home right now. We are heading to the North Head quarantine station. Not because of Covid… But because it's fucking haunted of course. First, Jeff's favorite, a bit of history. The Quarantine Station was established primarily to regulate the risk of disease importation through the migration of free and convicted Europeans, and the arrival of merchant shipping. Up until the 1830s, the majority of ships requiring quarantine were convict transports, and being under government contract, the somewhat informal proclamation of quarantine by the Governor of the day was easy to enforce. One reason for the introduction of formal statutory regulation for quarantine in NEw South Wales in 1832 was the increasing rate of free immigrant vessels entering port. The initial quarantine practice of housing the sick on board the vessel in which they arrived, was dispensed with after the experience with the long detention of the Lady Macnaghten in 1837, and the subsequent heavy demurrage claimed for that delay. After that time the sick were removed from their ship and housed ashore, while the ship was fumigated and scoured for return to the owner with the minimum delay. A consequence of this decision was the construction of permanent accommodation and storage buildings at the Quarantine Station at North Head. The alarming experiences of quarantine in 1837 and 1838 prompted a review in the colony of the organisation and conditions aboard immigrant ships. The final report, arising as a NSW initiative, pricked the sensitivities of the British emigration officials, but nevertheless had positive outcomes. The review indicated that there was insufficient checking of the health of the emigrants before boarding; there was insufficient concern with diet during the voyage, especially for the needs of children; and that the formula of three children equalling one adult when allocating food and berth space aboard required reconsideration, as it led to excessive number of children in cramped spaces, with inadequate food. The subsequent reorganisation of the system resulted in interviews and medical checks on would-be emigrants before embarking them; vaccination for smallpox of all emigrants; the signing of undertakings to follow the directions of the surgeon-superintendent on voyage and better definition of his role and powers; improvements in diet and hospital accommodation aboard; and moves to prevent overcrowding. The arrival of the Beejapore in 1853, with over one thousand passengers, at a time when the Quarantine Station could accommodate 150 persons, triggered a new building phase. As a temporary measure, the hulk Harmony was purchased and moored in Spring Cove as a hospital ship. The Beejapore was an experiment in trying to reduce migration costs by using two-deck vessels, and the outcome was judged not to be a success. Fifty-five people died during the voyage, and a further sixty two died at the Quarantine Station, from the illnesses of measles, scarlet fever and typhus fever.  As a result of this downturn between 1860 and 1879 only 138 immigrant vessels arrived [compared with 410 between 1840 and 1859], and of these 33 required cleansing at the Quarantine Station, but few required their passengers to be landed and accommodated. In the same period 29 merchant or naval vessels were quarantined, but again mainly for the cleansing of the ship rather than the landing of diseased crews. The run-down Quarantine Station had become unsuitable for passenger quarantine, and particularly for first and second class passenger accommodation, by the time the Hero was in need of quarantine for smallpox in 1872. The passengers were kept aboard the ship, because the station could not adequately house them. The inadequacy was further publicised during the quarantine of the Baroda in 1873, when first class passengers had to do their own washing. The growth of the other states also meant that shipping was more evenly distributed in terms of destination than had been the case in the nineteenth century. In the period 1901 to 1940, Sydney and Melbourne had roughly similar numbers of assisted immigrants (134,864 and 115,988 respectively), and the other States had, in combination, more immigrants than either Sydney or Melbourne, totalling 174,526. By 1958 there were 39 "first ports of entry" into Australia. Thirty-two sea ports had staff capable of carrying out quarantine inspections, ten ports were "landing places" for air entry; major quarantine stations with accommodation were established at five ports, and there were three minor quarantine stations at other Ports. The impact of improved medical science, immunisation, and quarantine procedures in the twentieth century is perhaps shown most dramatically by the fact that though the post-WWII immigration was vastly more than had gone before, the number of ships or aeroplanes quarantined plummeted proportionately. Sydney received nearly 700,000 assisted immigrants between 1946 and 1980, or nearly double the number it had received between 1831 and 1940, yet only four ships were quarantined in that period and at least one of those was a tanker. In all, between 1828 and 1984 at least 580 vessels were quarantined at the Quarantine Station. More than 13,000 people were quarantined at the station of whom an estimated 572 died and were buried there. Now with that compacted and somewhat confusing history out of the way, let's get into some creepiness.     Since records were first kept, reports of the ghosts of the doctors and nurses returning to haunt the station have flooded in. The National parks and Wildlife Service regularly conducts a three hour ghost tour after sunset, where visitors are led by tour guides through the winding unlit streets and buildings of the North Head Quarantine Station. Every building and open area on the site is believed to be haunted by at least one ghost. Visitors have reported seeing apparitions walking in front of their cars as they leave the site at night, as they are driving down North Head Scenic Drive. Psychics have claimed to have been led around the station by ghostly nurses, and long dead patients all still remaining within the confines of the complex. TV's Ghost Hunters Team visited the site and found enough evidence to suggest that the site is haunted by several different entities, who have remained at the site, but you know how we feel about those tools... One of the more common accounts you may hear while on the ghost tours are that of the ghostly girl with blonde braids who occasionally holds a tourists hand and leads them along the pathways. Some visitors see her hiding behind bushes or even tugging at their jacket sleeve. Guests have said she speaks to them or sees her as a child on a tour, only to be told later that there were no children on their tour. In the Asian quarters visitors have reported seeing the ghost of a Chinese man dressed in authentic period robes. Other paranormal experiences at North Head Quarantine Station include: lights turning themselves on and off in locked buildings, strange sounds and footsteps coming from the verandas, and the feeling of being touched by an unseen force. Many people have felt uncomfortable and have frozen on the spot of the old cemetery where a lone gravestone now is the only remaining evidence of the hundreds of bodies buried below. Several buildings on the site were destroyed by fire in 2001. One of the buildings was the station's original hospital. Several ghosts were seen here before the fire; these were either laying in the hospital beds, or wondering around the wards. There are plans in the future to reconstruct this building because of its historic importance, and of course, its haunted history as well. There is a corrugated-iron structure on the site that houses the station's shower block. Paranormal events here include: doors slamming shut, lights turning on and off, bangs against the walls, and the sounds of footsteps. There are many many stories from this place which is also now a hotel. There's tons more history and tales that you can find on your own but we must be moving along, now. We head next to Uluru also known as Ayers Rock. Uluru/Ayers Rock, is a giant monolith, one of the tors (isolated masses of weathered rock) in the southwestern Northern Territory, in central Australia. It has long been revered by a variety of Australian Aboriginal peoples of the region, who call it Uluru. The rock was sighted in 1872 by explorer Ernest Giles and was first visited by a European the following year, when surveyor William Gosse named it for Sir Henry Ayers, a former South Australian premier. It is the world’s largest monolith. There's an ancient history to the rock. On the northern top of Uluru are a series of caves that are informally called “the Skull”. The Aborigine, the peoples of the Mala, or Hare Wallaby group (both the Pitjantjatjara and Yankuntjatjara belong to it) well, they believe that they represent the camp made by their ancestors in the Dreamtime, when they came to Uluru from the Haasts Bluff region, some 200 miles north, to initiate their youth. The Dreamtime is the era in which these forebearers created 'The Earth' through their adventures along trails that cross the desert. Many of these paths merge to crossroads at important features of the desert landscape, such as Uluru. The caves to the right of the Skull are said to mark the camps of the fathers and uncles of the initiates. In the uncles' camp lived the eagle chick, which would be used to provide feathers for this important ceremony. Other caves represent the camps that male elders, not involved in the ceremony, resided, and a series of flat rocks to the east, stand for the camp of the women. Whenever the tribes of the area gather at the Rock for these ceremonies, they still camp precisely in this pattern. In the northwest corner, separated from the main body of the Rock, is an immense pillar that locals call the Kangaroo Tail. To the Aborigine this is the ceremonial pole (naldawata) stolen from the midst of the Mala camp by a 'Devil Dingo'. The Dingo, a species of dog, is believed to have come to Australia with the aboriginals across land bridges and shallow seas that existed between Australia and Indonesia before the melting of the glaciers toward the end of the last ice age. This particularly savage canine, who stole the ceremonial pole, had been sung into existence by the elders farther west in the mountains now called the Petermanns, and sent into the camp at Uluru to punish the Mala group for refusing to supply eagle feathers to their cousins. This devil dingo put the Mala, and their guests from the southwest side of Uluru, the Carpet Snake people, to flee. There are enormous writhe marks and paw-shaped caves at the base of Uluru that represent the escape route of the Hare Wallaby and Carpet Snake people, their panic quite legible in the rock.  The Mala group are still aware of that devil dingo, which they believe dwells somewhere on the crest of Uluru.  Then there's the stories of the curse of Uluru. While climbing the rock is now banned there are many stories of folks who went to see the sites and decided to bring a piece of Australia home with them only to be met with bad luck and misfortune. Steve Hill talks about his experience. He had taken a small rock from the site. Here's the short version found on an Australian website:  The moment I put it back, it felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders,” explains Steve Hill, who recently made a 3000km road trip from Canberra to return a small rock to Uluru. Hill, who pilfered the match box–sized rock from the base of the landmark inselberg in 2017, admits he was “a complete idiot for taking it in the first place”. In the weeks after, he claims, he was struck by a “long run of bad luck”, including car accidents and expensive repairs to his four-wheel-drive. He's not the only one to have stories like this. “I wanted to take away some of your magic with me for the rest of my travels, for the rest of my life even. I realise it was wrong to do so, therefore I am sending it back to you. Forgive me for being foolish,” wrote one French tourist who returned a rock via mail in January 2014. Another tourist wrote "To Australia, I'm so sorry I took this piece of Uluru. I wanted a piece of Australia to take home with me. This was the wrong thing to take. I hope Australia can forgive me and welcome me if I ever come back. signed, An Unwise Traveller"  One British tourist wrote: "Things were good in my life before I took some of Ayers Rock home with me, but since then my wife has had a stroke and things have worked out terribly for my children – we have had nothing but bad luck." The national park receives at least one package a day from remorseful rock thieves who are seeking to return pieces of the monument. In an even more bizarre twist, recent research indicates that 25 percent of those packages contain apology notes claiming that the stolen stone has brought misfortune upon its abductors; by returning it, they hope to undo the curse. While most of the returned pieces of Uluru are pocket-sized, officials once received a 70-pound chunk from a remorseful couple in South Australia, and packages have come from as far away as Germany.  So what to you guys think? Do you believe in curses? I don't need a rock or sand that bad! And now like Vanilla Icev were gonna keep on pursuing to the next stop. The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA), known as ScreenSound Australia from 1999 to 2004, is Australia's audiovisual archive, responsible for developing, preserving, maintaining, promoting and providing access to a national collection of film, television, sound, radio, video games, new media, and related documents and artefacts. The collection ranges from works created in the late nineteenth century when the recorded sound and film industries were in their infancy, to those made in the present day. Doesn't seem spooky… Until you find out the building to which the Archive moved in 1984 was the home of the Australian Institute of Anatomy from 1931-84. Originally it held the anatomy collection of Sir Colin MacKenzie. A little more creepy. The Australian Institute of Anatomy was a natural history museum and medical research institute that was founded in 1931 and disbanded in 1985 located in Acton, Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory. MacKenzies collection included the heart of the celebrated Australian racehorse Phar Lap, Australian outlaw Ned Kelly's skull and a mummy from Papua New Guinea. MacKenzie became the founding director of the Institute on Anatomy, and on his death in 1938 his ashes were placed behind a commemorative plaque in the building's foyer. Buildings constructed during this phase were 'built to broaden national interest and establish the city as a centre of archives and collections'. The building housed human skeletons, animal specimens and artefacts, and was the site of scientific experiments. "The NFSA building is regarded by many ghost hunters or paranormal aficionados as not only one of the most haunted in Canberra, but also one of the most haunted in Australia," cryptonaturalist Tim the Yowie Man said. "It's not because it houses spooky movies. The ghosts that are reported in the building stem from the period when it was the Institute of Anatomy."  "During the '30s most of the research was on childhood nutrition; during the '40s when the war came that evolved to general nutrition, nutrition for the troops," Mr Kennedy said. "In the '50s and '60s there was a liver dissection section and animal testing laboratory." There have been many reported sightings of MacKenzie's ghost."It's one of the more extraordinary apparitions," he said."It's been described by some people like a genie out of a bottle.They're in the building in the late afternoon and they see an outline of an elderly man, dressed well, come out of the wall near where his ashes are.He just appears there, doesn't move much, and then suddenly sucks back into where the ashes are behind the wall."  Another of the commonly reported ghost sightings is that of a little girl that would pop out through a grate in the old theatrette and make visiting school students laugh. There have also been reports of poltergeist activity, particularly where the dissection laboratories used to be. Since the NFSA moved in, that space has been used as an office with two sound recording booths. "Quite often staff would have meetings in that room, and they would hear noises coming from the [recording booths] and they would see things flying around in there," Tim the Yowie Man said. "All these tapes had fallen out of anti-gravity tape decks, which can't happen unless someone or something had forced them out." A group of ghost hunters from the New South Wales south coast stayed overnight at the building ."They set up their equipment and it all went crazy," Mr Kennedy said. "One of the things ghosts or spirits apparently do is suck energy, so they'll suck the life out of batteries. They had six of these pieces of equipment set up in a row, and we all watched all of the batteries drain from full down to empty at the same time, which was pretty creepy." Most of the reports of spooky activity come from NFSA staff, with an employee who worked there in the 1980s coming forward with an experience just last week. "In the Film and Sound Archive it seems you don't need to be a true believer — you can be a sceptic, or sitting on the fence — to have an experience there," Tim the Yowie Man said. "There just seems to be a higher-than-normal proportion there of really credible eyewitnesses seeing things they can't explain."  Again these are just a few of the crazy stories floating around about this place and it bc send like a pretty cool haunted hotspot! And now like Fred Durst we're gonna keep rollin rollin rollin and head over to the Adelaide Gaol. A brief history from the website states the following: Adelaide Gaol is one of the oldest remaining colonial public buildings in Adelaide and is the site of some of South Australia's more interesting, grisly past and important history of Adelaide.  In 1840, George Strickland Kingston was commissioned to design Adelaide's new gaol. The architectural plans for Adelaide Gaol were based on the latest in European gaol designs and were said to be radical for the time. The original cost estimate for Adelaide Gaol was £17,000, but by 1841 costs had already reached £16,000 with only half the planned works complete. The final bill was more than double the original quote and the expense of construction sent the fledgling colony of South Australia bankrupt. As a result, Governor Gawler, who was considered responsible for this situation, was recalled to England and replaced by Governor Grey. Governor Grey halted work and Adelaide Gaol construction languished for over six years. The full extent of Kingston's original design was never delivered, but there were all kinds of additions and modifications made to the Gaol during its 147 years of operation. In 1879, Adelaide Gaol was packed to capacity and the New Building was constructed using the prisoners as labour. Approximately 300,000 prisoners passed through Adelaide Gaol during its working years and 45 people were executed. Their bodies are buried within the grounds of Adelaide Gaol. The first public hanging took place in November 1840 while the site was still under construction. It was decided in the early 1980s that Adelaide Gaol would be closed and on 4 February 1988, was officially decommissioned.  Here's a little more on the prison. On Christmas Eve, 24 December 1840, the first prisoners, some fourteen debtors, were transferred from the old temporary gaol to occupy the first yard to be completed at the new Adelaide Gaol. Remaining prisoners at the old gaol were transferred in early 1841, as further building work was completed. From 1867 to 1869 Sister Mary MacKillop, foundress of the Australian Sisters of Saint Joseph and later canonised as Australia's first Saint, regularly visited the gaol and along with members of her order tended both male and female prisoners. The first attempt at escaping occurred in August 1854 when two prisoners were caught in the act with each receiving 36 lashes. The first "successful" escape was in 1897 when three prisoners made it as far as Blanchetown before being recaptured. In 1942 the "New Building" was taken over by the military for use as a detention barracks. The gallows located in the building were used for a civilian execution on 26 April 1944. Following public protests over the unsanitary conditions at both Yatala Labour Prison and Adelaide Gaol, extensive renovations were carried out in 1954–55. A toilet block was constructed in 4 and 6 yards and a semi-circular wall built in "The Circle" to allow more privacy for visits. Previously, prisoners would line up toeing a brass rail in the Sally port of the main gate with visitors standing opposite and no closer than 2 metres (6.6 ft) which required the raising of voices to be heard over adjacent conversations. Former prisoners have stated that after a few minutes the noise level would be so high that no one could be heard. In 1961 a shower block was constructed and a bakery established which would supply bread to both Yatala and Adelaide Gaols. By this time the gaol was badly affected by salt damp and throughout the 1960s many prisoners were kept busy repairing it. In 1963 the Deputy Keeper's rooms in the Governor's residence were converted to administrative offices and a new residence was built in the forecourt, adjacent to the Gaol entrance. In 1965 it was announced that the gaol would be demolished and all but essential maintenance work ceased. In 1969 this decision was reversed and the gaol's female inmates were transferred to a new facility at Northfield. Throughout the 1970s considerable modernisation of the old buildings occurred with one building (6 Yard remand prisoners) demolished and rebuilt. In 1971 all staff housing on the site was vacated with most of the guards former residences demolished. In 1980 it was announced that the gaol would be closed once new facilities were completed and the only major work that took place until it did close was the installation of security cameras in 1984. Later that year the remand prisoners were transferred to the new Adelaide Remand Centre. The remaining Adelaide Gaol prisoners were transferred in 1987 when Mobilong Prison opened. Adelaide Gaol was decommissioned in 1988 and the site taken over by the South Australian Department for Environment and Heritage and reopened as a museum and tourist attraction with overnight accommodation in cells for tourists. In 2007, the gaol was found to not comply with the relevant safety regulations for accommodation, ending the option. The Deputy Keeper's residence, built in 1963, was later considered not in keeping with the overall architectural style of the complex and demolished in October 2009. Until an Act of Parliament in 1858 mandated private executions, seven hangings were held in public outside the gaol walls with the first occurring in November 1840 while the site was still under construction. Joseph Stagg was the first prisoner to be executed for his involvement with a cattle duffing gang. From 1861 to 1883, 13 prisoners were executed on portable gallows erected between the Gaol's inner and outer walls. Executions were moved to the "New Building" in 1894 where a further 21 prisoners were executed. The "Hanging Tower" was converted to that use in 1950 and used for the last four executions before capital punishment was abolished in 1976. From 1840 to 1964, 45 of the 66 people executed in South Australia were executed by hanging at the Gaol. William Ridgway was the youngest at 19 in 1874, Elizabeth Woolcock the only woman in 1873 and the last was Glen Sabre Valance in 1964. Possibly one of the most haunted places in Australia. Adelaide Gaol is said to be regularly visited by some of the inmates and prison officers who once wandered its halls. It is believed that these ghost sightings are possibly innocent people who were hanged, seeking exoneration still to this very day. More ominous is the reported sightings of Adelaide Gaol's hangman. Ghost sighting of Frederick CarrFrederick 'Fred' Carr was hanged at Adelaide Gaol on 12 November 1927 for the murder of his wife, Maude. He protested his innocence, even up until the final moments before his death. Maude Carr was found with her throat cut. Medical experts at the time noted the wound could not have been self-inflicted because of the angle of the cut. Interestingly, Maude's previous two husbands also died from wounds to the neck and Maude tried to commit suicide the day before she died. Carr is said to have exclaimed, while in the condemned cell, 'the law requires my body, but it cannot have my soul, as I am innocent."  Fred is said to appear regularly near the stairs leading to the upstairs cells of the New Building. He is reported as a happy spirit, always neatly dressed in dark clothes and taking a polite interest in visitors wandering through his former 'home'. Fred's spirit was thought to appear without a face. That is, until November 2000, when his spirit apparently appeared with a face - a smiling, happy face. Why Fred's face was restored is a mystery, but he remains one of the many fascinating folklore ghost sightings of Adelaide Gaol. Ghost sighting of Governor William Baker AshtonWilliam Baker Ashton was the first Governor of the Adelaide Gaol and despite being a reasonably fair man, he was accused of wrong-doing. The ensuing scandal is said to have hastened his demise. William was a very large man and when he died (in office) in 1854, his body could not be manipulated down his apartment's steep, narrow staircase. Instead, he was unceremoniously lowered out of the front window to the undertakers waiting below. Three months after his death, William was exonerated. Too little, too late to pacify a disturbed spirit. On warm, still nights with a hint of thunder in the air, his footsteps are said to be heard (through walls of solid stone) as he struggles to move furniture in an empty room. Ghost sighting of Ben Ellis - the hangmanBen Ellis was the Adelaide Gaol hangman for 10 years, from the mid-1860s to the mid-1870s. He lived at Adelaide Gaol in a small apartment below what became the female dormitory. Ben took pride in his work and approached each task with complete professionalism. Each of Ben's executions was precisely - and expertly - carried out. Except in the case of the execution of Charles Streitman in 1877. In his haste to get the job done, Ben neglected to prepare his prisoner properly and Charles not only dropped but rebounded, getting caught on the platform. Instead of instantaneous death it was a further 22 minutes before he finally died. Ben never questioned the right or wrong of his profession until 30 December 1873, when he was required to hang a female prisoner, Elizabeth Woolcock. She was to be the first and last woman executed in South Australia. This event changed the way Ben viewed his profession forever. Ben's restless spirit is said to appear often throughout Adelaide Gaol, perhaps seeking forgiveness for a job too well done.On top of this we found a personal experience posted online. It goes like this:              The tour starts with a walk around the entire gaol. Straight away you get a feeling that you are being watched. The immense grounds and the stillness set the scene for a night of ghostly encounters. For those that love their history they will surely learn a lot from Alison in regards to the Gaol’s dark past. From stories about ex prisoners through to information on Adelaide history – you surely get your moneys worth. My Adelaide Gaol ghost story began while walking around (and this was before dark) I could hear voices as well as footsteps. I felt like someone was following the group. It was in the museum that I experienced my first paranormal encounter. While Alison and another tour participant were in the Gaol wing I could here footsteps in the museum. Instead of joining them in the wing I instead investigated where the noises were coming from. At the same time Alison and co were trying to close one of the cell door slots. After looking around the museum (I couldn’t see anything) I decided to join the others in the wing. To my amazement as soon as I reached the wing I could see a hand coming from the cell door slot. This hand forcefully smashed the slot down. You can guess what happened next. I ran for my life. I have never been that scared in my life. Well little did I know what laid ahead for the group. After the tour we made our way back to the old Visiting Justice Room. Here Alison played us examples of EVP and voices from the ghost box. After my experience (I was still shaking like mad) these samples just put me further on edge. Next was the investigation. The investigation itself lasts around two hours. Here you are able to use equipment to track the paranormal as well as visit any location in the prison. Alison took us to places around the prison which have had vast paranormal events. Alas those places would not be the ones that would make me doubt my own sanity. The induction centre looks to be just another building. But by day or night this is indeed is a dark place. As soon as I entered the building I began to feel light headed. It was like it was an extremely hot day. The temperature gauge at that stage read only 22 degrees. That was all about to change. When we sat down on the bench in the induction centre the gauge jumped to over 40 in a little over a few minutes. I then asked if any spirit could lessen the temperature on the gauge. I got a response almost straight away and the gauge dropped by 25 degrees. The group then decided to give the ghost box a go. This is where you ask questions and some times you might get a response. I’m not a great fan and neither is Alison, but I will give anything a go once. During this period the temperature gauge read 68 degrees. All the others in the room were now all complaining about feeling light headed. Alison then asks if anyone present could give us a sign they were there or touch us. Well they did surely show us they were there. It went on for a few minutes. The noise could be best described as footsteps walking through dried leaves. It was the same noise that I had heard all the night. What made this experience worse though was they kept getting closer and closer. Alison tried to radio her husband so that he could bring the video camera but the walkie talkie wouldn’t work. My nerves were shot at this stage. Thank gawd everyone wanted to leave the room. After regrouping outside we checked all the equipment. Both the temperature gauge and walkie-talkies needed their batteries changed. What is weird about this is both of them had just been refreshed before the investigation. These batteries should have lasted days. Another weird thing is another group members recording device stopped when the noises got closer. There was no one near the device. On the way back we heard the jail bell ring twice (Alison stated that it never had happened before) and also the between yards buzzer went off. Very unusual indeed. Let me state that all the above did happen and is real. No gimmicks or pranks. We have audio evidence that all this took place. Thank you Alison for an amazing night. For one that has been searching for such an experience for years, I owe you and the Gaols inhabitants big time. This tour is indeed worth it. Give it a go when you are next in Adelaide. You never know what ghostly things you may encounter.” This account was written by a Nicholas Bishop and posted to Adelaidehauntedhorizons.com. Fu Manchu once told us: King of the road says you move too slow, so it's with great haste we move along to our next stop. We are now heading to Black Mountain! Black mountain national park is a 781 hectare(roughly 1400 acres) protected area in Shire of Cook, Queensland, Australia. The main feature of the park is the mass of granite boulders, some the size of houses. The absence of soil between the boulders and rocks create a maze of gaps and passages, which can be used to penetrate inside the mountain. These rocks can become extremely hot. The area has a bad reputation as numerous people and those searching for the missing have disappeared without trace. That's why we're heading there. Is it supernatural? Bad luck? Maybe something else sinister? Let's see what we can find. First a bit of Cultural history. The National Park's "Black Mountains" are a heavily significant feature of the Kuku Nyungkal people's cultural landscape known locally to Aboriginal Australians as Kalkajaka (trans: "place of spear"). Queensland's Department of Environment and Natural Resources has been advised of at least four sites of particular mythological significance within the "Black Mountains" as follows: There are at least four sites of religious or mythological significance on the mountain. These are the Kambi, a large rock with a cave where flying-foxes are found; Julbanu, a big grey kangaroo-shaped rock looking toward Cooktown; Birmba, a stone facing toward Helenvale where sulphur-crested cockatoos are seen; and a taboo place called Yirrmbal near the foot of the range. The Black Mountain also features strongly in local, more non-Aboriginal cultural landscapes, some of which has also been described by Queensland's Department of Environment and Resource Management as follows When European colonists arrived late last century, they added to the many Aboriginal legends of the area with a few of their own. Stories abound of people, horses and whole mobs of cattle disappearing into the labyrinth of rocks, never to be seen again It is believed that those who vanished most probably fell into one of the chasms under the rocks or after entering one of these places became lost. It is estimated only three in ten would survive such falls, wandering below the Earth's surface with only ground water streams and insects to nourish them. Disappearances are centuries old at Black Mountain with stories beginning as the white settlers began arriving and did not respect the Kuku Yalanji’s warnings. For example, in 1877 a man went out towards the Black Mountain to locate an escaped calf. When the man failed to return searches were conducted for days but no trace of the horse, cow, or man was ever discovered. Several years later Sugarfoot Jack and his criminal companions decided to take refuge near the mountain after a shootout, knowing not many people would venture there. Despite an exhaustive police search in the following days, no bodies were ever recovered. Mr Harold Ludwick believes in Black Mountain's dark forces, which is why he warns people not to enter the site: a mistake his friend from Sydney made during a visit. "I told him, 'Don't go in there', because I know there's a bora ground, but he was headstrong and wanted to go," Mr Ludwick recalled. "After being in that place, he got home and was tormented by what he said was devils and spirits. "After he got better, three or four months later, he came back and said to me, 'I know I've done something wrong on Cape York'. "I said, 'Bloody oath you did, and I told you!'" Some other early stories of disappearances are as follows:        November, 1882: two cattlemen Harry Owens and George Hawkins disappear while looking for stray cattle around Black Mountain, as does one of the police trackers searching for the missing men. A second tracker returns 'completely unhinged' and unable to provide a coherent report.          1890: Constable Ryan tracks a fugitive to a cave at Black Mountain. He enters to see if the fugitive might be hiding inside. According to those present he never came back out.          1892: prospector James Wren vanishes while fossicking at Black Mountain.        Circa 1920: two young explorers determined to solve the mysterious disappearances go missing themselves, along with some of the trackers who go looking for them.        1928: prospector Q. Packer goes missing while fossicking at Black Mountain. His body is later found next to his rifle with a bullet wound to his head.       1932: traveller Harry Page goes missing while hiking on Black Mountain and was later found dead from unknown causes. Well into modern times Black Mountain has been ground zero for a wide variety of high strangeness. It is said that animals are spooked by the mountain, and that it exudes some evil force that has been reported to disrupt the navigational equipment of airplanes flying nearby. In fact, planes mostly avoid flying near the mountain due to these unexplained anomalies as well as the strange air turbulence that is experienced within the vicinity. A 1991 aerial survey conducted by the Bureau of Mineral Resources to test for magnetic disturbances and radiation levels on the mountain turned up nothing unusual, yet the reports of these phenomena from pilots persist. It may not be so surprising that Black Mountain is also home to a good amount of UFO activity and reports of strange lights.  Black Mountain is also said to have cavernous underground chambers that are purported to hold everything from alien bases to lost civilizations, ancient tombs and priceless lost treasures. Some of the treasures said to reside within the depths of the many caves are lost stockpiles of gold, historic artifacts, and ancient texts. One of the stranger things said to lie under the mountain is a secret alien base from which UFOs emerge and which is inhabited by a race of reptilian alien humanoids that keep human slaves. Those who buy this far out idea further explain that the arrangement of the boulders is obviously artificial and that the entire mountain was built by the aliens themselves. Others speculate that the boulders were laid down by some ancient lost civilization millennia ago, and that this society thrived deep under the mountain in an enormous hollowed out domain. Some think such a civilization is still there. Other bizarre tales revolve around the strange beasts said to inhabit the mountain. Although it is true that the area is home to many unique and endemic species, there are tales of creatures lurking here that are far weirder than one might imagine. Within the craggy maze of intertwined boulders are said to lurk enormous pythons that are not shy about attacking human beings. There is also an enigmatic large, cat-like predator known as the Queensland tiger that is thought to prowl the area and has been blamed for cattle mauling and mutilations that have occurred in the surrounding area. Occasional reports of large, reptilian humanoids emerging from the underground tunnels and crevices have also surfaced from the mountain. Additionally, there are numerous stories of fleeting, shadowy shapes that stalk the mountain, but it is unclear whether these represent some type of real animal, a more supernatural phenomenon, or merely a trick of shadow and light upon the black boulders. One experienced bushman who penetrated into the mountain armed with a pistol and flashlight gave a harrowing account of his experience within: I stepped into the opening, like other Black Mountain caves it dipped steeply downwards, narrowing as it went. Suddenly I found myself facing a solid wall of rock, but to the right there was a passageway just large enough for me to enter in a stooping position. I moved along it carefully for several yards. The floor was fairly level, the walls of very smooth granite. The passage twisted and turned this way and that, always sloping deeper into the earth. Presently I began to feel uneasy. A huge bat beat its wings against me as it passed, however I forced myself on, to push further. Soon my nostrils were filled with a sickly musty stench. Then my torch went out. I was in total darkness. From somewhere, that seemed the bowels of the earth I could hear a faint moaning which was then followed by the flapping of wings of thousands of bats. I began to panic as I groped and floundered back the way I thought I had come. My arms and legs were bleeding from bumps with unseen rocks. My outstretched hands clawed at space, I expected solid walls and floors, but could not find it. At one stage where I had wandered into a side passage, I came to the brink of what was undoubtedly a precipice-judging by the echoes. The air was foul and I felt increasing dizziness. Terrifying thoughts were racing through my mind about giant rock-pythons I have seen around this mountain. As I crawled along, getting weaker and loosing hope of ever coming out alive, I saw a tiny streak of light. It gave me super strength to worm my way towards a small cave mouth half a mile from the one I had entered. Reaching the open air I gulped in lungfuls of it and fell down exhausted. I later found that I had been underground for five hours, most of the time on my hands and knees. A King’s ransom would not induce me to enter those caves again.  Damn! One more tale for you:   In 2001 a tale of a man that had an interesting experience arose. A man named Ivan and his friend Danny decided to camp at the bottom of Black Mountain while on a journey to a different destination. While setting up camp both noticed the complete silence of nature that surrounded them and noted it was a bit off. As the two friends drifted to sleep they were awoken when the sounds of rocks crumbling shattered the silence. Then, they started to hear footsteps that got closer and closer in every step. In a moment of adrenaline-inspired bravery, Danny rushed outside to scare whoever (or whatever) was stalking them away. Ivan, not wanting to leave his friend alone, followed behind him. When they left the tent they saw a huge black mass ambling towards them. Then, it disappeared in front of their eyes. Despite it being the middle of the night the camp as quickly as they could and left the Black Mountain. Any up for a trip to Black mountain? There are many many many more places in Australia we can talk about, which is why we will be working on a creepy Australia part 2 in the future. Given the Aboriginal history and culture and the circumstances with which the country was founded, and just the age of since if these structures, it's no wonder there are tons of creepy haunted places in Australia.

L’histoire que nous allons nous raconter aujourd’hui commence dans la région du Queensland , dans le nord de l’Australie , le 17 aout 1980. La famille Chamberlain , composé des parents Lindy et Michael Chamberlain, de leurs deux garçons Aidan et Reagan et d’une petite fille de deux mois nommée Azaria, sont vont faire du camping dans la contrée désertique d’Uluru , surplombant Ayers Rock, une majestueuse montagne de grés ocre. Sur place , La famille Chamberlain fait rapidement connaissance avec d’autres vacanciers. L’endroit est très atypique et sauvage. Tout à l’air de bien se passer malgré des températures suffocantes pendant le jour largement compensées par les longues nuits fraiches et agréables. Sauf qu’au bout de la deuxième nuit, les choses vont tourner au cauchemar : Azaria que sa mère vient de coucher dans leur bivouac, pousse un cri épouvantable et disparait !

In der 14. Folge von Montagsmord reden Sophie und Valerie über die Tiere die Menschen getötet haben. Sophie berichtet über den Fall von dem Schimpansen Travis, der seit dem er drei Tage auf der Welt ist unter Menschen aufgewachsen ist. In Valeries Fall geht es um die Familie Chamberlain, die in Australien am Ayers Rock nur einen entspannten Campingurlaub machen wollte.

The Chamberlain case is the stuff of legend. A baby goes missing from a campsite at the base of Uluru, then known as Ayers Rock, on a family holiday, the mother claiming the infant was taken by a wild dingo. But it took 32 years, numerous inquests, a trial, a conviction and a royal commission before Lindy Chamberlain was cleared of murdering her baby daughter.Story by Hugh RimintonWritten, produced and edited by Ali Aitken See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ben is chief storytelling officer at 9 Degrees West, a strategic consultancy specialising in brand and marketing strategy for theme parks, visitor attractions, and brand homes. An IAAPA speaker, Ben has previously worked at Mars, the Walt Disney Company and Merlin Entertainments. We discuss the future of the experience economy and how organisations may need to adapt in a post-COVID world. Kelly Molson:Ben, welcome to the podcast. It's really great to have you on here. Ben Thompson:Thank you very much, Kelly. It's great to be here. Great to be talking to you and the dog today. Kelly Molson:Yes. So look, we are recording these in semi-lockdown or easing out of lockdown. So we're kind of at home, my dog is behind me. Ben Thompson:And I've left my dog Barney at home. So I'm actually in a nice quiet office. So it's all good on my side. Kelly Molson:I'm glad that you read the prep notes accordingly, Ben, well done. Well done for following instructions. So we're going to start off a little bit with a bit of a quick fire round, just to get to know you in a little bit of detail. We've spoken a couple of times previously, but we don't know each other super well. So I've got some quick fire questions for you. So, think I know the answer to this one already. Cats or dogs? Ben Thompson:Definitely dogs. Cats are rubbish. It's all about dogs. Kelly Molson:And what's top of your bucket list? Ben Thompson:Oh, my word. I think it is taking a long trip to Australia. We've got quite a lot of relatives over there. I've never been, it's one of the few continents I didn't get to go to when I was traveling the world with Merlin Entertainments. So yeah, definitely probably going to Ayers Rock, doing some of the islands getting down to Tasmania and so on. I think that's probably, yeah, I need to do that. Kelly Molson:Great choice, Ben. Do you know what actually, we got engaged at Ayers Rock. Ben Thompson:Oh, really? Oh, fantastic. Kelly Molson:Yeah, it's a really special place for us. Really, really special. Ben Thompson:Or Uluru as I probably should be should be calling it, yeah. But yeah, no, I'd love to get down to Aussie and meet up with my... My mother's brother went out there and he had five children. They all got married. I think there's about 50 Thompsons that are out there now. So yeah, looking forward to catching up with them one day. Kelly Molson:Oh, good. Well yeah, you've got a lot of people to visit out there. Sounds fab. Okay. Tell me one thing that you're not very good at. Ben Thompson:Oh, my word. I mean, how long have you got? I'm really, really impatient. I'm an ENTJ in Myers Briggs terminology, so extroverted blue-sky thinking. So I'm brilliant on the future and possibility and what could it look like? I get very bored very quickly with what I consider to be the mundane administrative tasks. And I'm terrible at hiding my feelings. So if I'm bored about something, it's written all over my face. You definitely can't air this now, this is far too personal. Kelly Molson:I'm really worried that I'm going to start looking at your face soon. And sense that boredom coming across as well, Ben, you're giving too much away. Ben Thompson:Good question. Kelly Molson:One last question. Tell me something that you believe to be true that nobody else agrees with you on. So what is your unpopular opinion? Ben Thompson:Oh, my word. Listen, these questions are really good and terrible. Okay. So I believe that cricket is the very, very best sport in the world, bar none. And I have a really solid argument as for why that is the case and hardly anybody apart from a very tiny percentage of people agree with me. Kelly Molson:Do you want to share that argument just in case we've got any listeners that share this opinion? Ben Thompson:In a nutshell, it's the ultimate combination of the individual and the team game and conditions and everything else, skills and experience sort of wrapped into one and it has different formats. You can have a really short game, like only three hours or quite a nice leisurely version of five days where you can have a draw at the end. Kelly Molson:Okay. I mean, I will agree to disagree on that one, Ben. Ben Thompson:Well, there we go. Kelly Molson:But maybe some of our listeners... Well, I mean, tell us, let us... Yeah. Tweet us and let us know if you agree with Ben, I'd love to hear. Thank you for sharing. I always like to do that. I think it's quite nice to get a little bit of an insight into people's mind. And also what I really enjoyed is that the thing that you said that you're not very good at actually showcased the things that you are very good at, which is talking about the bigger picture and the future and what things look like. And that's really one of the reasons that I have asked you to come on the podcast because you've got an incredible background in attractions and the experience economy, and it's challenging for many in that sector at the moment. And I'm really keen to get your opinion on how it's been and what you see the future to be. But could you just kind of give us what a typical project is for you, Ben? Ben Thompson:Yeah. I mean, obviously the immediate answer is there's no such thing as a typical project because every client is different and that is true. The kind of golden threads that I get involved, it's all about storytelling. I call myself a chief storytelling officer and that is what I do. I've always loved books and narrative and kind of rich tapestries. I love Lord of the Rings as a kid, I loved all of the kind of The Hobbit, all that type of stuff. And I read voraciously and as I got kind of older, I read a lot of psychology books, really fascinated by how the brain works. And Danny Kahneman is my sort of absolute number one fan in the... He wrote a book called Thinking Fast and Slow, and Kahneman worked with a guy called Amos Tversky and Kahneman ended up being a Nobel Prize winner and basically invented kind of behavioral economics. Ben Thompson:And I find all that stuff fascinating at the point where kind of story and narrative meets in a meaning, how we interpret the world around us. I think that story forms views, it forms culture, but it can also transform. So Joe Pine and Jim Gilmore talk about that they're at this stage of the transformative economy where the product is the change I see in me as a customer or a guest when I engage with your brand. And I think story has a huge role to play in creating those kind of transformative experiences. So that's sort of a big thread that runs through it. But back to my sort of personality and loving the new, I'm often working on new projects. So that could be like Tony's, which we released our beautiful video, which we produced with Storyline Studios. Kelly Molson:So this is Tony's Chocolonelies. Ben Thompson:Yeah, Tony's Chocolonely. Yeah, exactly. So that is an amazing brand that has got a fantastic story, wants to transform the industry in which it's working and wants to create a visitor experience to immerse people in that brand and to create advocates for their mission, which is to end slavery in the chocolate industry. And our role was to take that from very basic, "Okay, we want to do this and it's going to be kind of this size and it's going to be this location. Oh, and by the way, it's going to have a roller coaster." To, "Okay, how do we actually put an immersive narrative around that?" And what we've done successfully is this, it's either a great story when you stand back and you sort of, you think about it, it's so simple. Our approach to that was a three acts, heart, head, and hands. So we'd engage you with all of the joy and the fun of what chocolate is all about. Chocolate is ultimately about happiness and sharing. Ben Thompson:So we do all of that great color, great richness, texture, and so on, but then we do a twist and we go into the head, which is about saying, "What's the bitter side of the sweetness of chocolate?" It's the reality of people working on cocoa farms in West Africa, Ghana, Ivory Coast, where it's a really kind of terrible situation. Then we educate. So how can it be done differently? That's the rest of the head piece. And then we move into hands, which is all about impact. That particular brand is all about engaging people to make a difference with their decisions, with their activism, all that kind of stuff that we do. And that's where we segued into the roller coaster. So when you get on the coaster, which we're going to call something like the impact express or whatever, you're actually going to be shrunken down to the size of a bar and fired out into the world to have an impact. Kelly Molson:Wow! Ben Thompson:Not literally fired out, health and safety will be taken into consideration here. Ben Thompson:So that has been an awesome project. I have an amazing client in Brazil who are largest park operator out there, they run the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio, they run the Equis Sioux falls down in the South of the country, which is the number one waterfall in the world, they have a big aquarium and so on. And there it's all been about kind of, how do you go from being an organization that's grown through acquisition, has around 6 million guests a year, but in kind of silo style businesses. And how do you create the sort of structure that sits above that? A little bit like Merlin, where you can get great synergies, get great best practices, and a lot of that's in your world of digital and get right structures and so on. So they can get the good data, make the good decisions and so on. Ben Thompson:And we've got other projects that we can't talk about yet. Kelly Molson:Of course, there's always secret projects. Ben Thompson:Which is so frustrating. We've got two amazing, amazing clients that we're working on. One in Europe and one, a global company, but based on the East Coast where the work we're doing is just going to be incredible, but you're going to have to watch this space. Kelly Molson:All right. Well, we definitely will watch this space. And that brings me to my next question, really, because I'd like to know if you're having to advise your clients differently at this point, because we are still in the middle of a pandemic. As we sit here, it's the 1st of July, attractions in the UK can start to open safely from this weekend, if they are able to. And we're seeing a really big demand, actually. We've seen a huge demand for ticket sales for London Zoo, Whipsnade Zoo, for example. And we know that Shanghai Disney Resort sold out its capacity in three minutes. So we know that there's demand there. We know people want to go back. And what are those conversations like at the moment with your clients that are looking to open their experiences in a year from now, two years from now? Are you having to talk to them very differently about things? Ben Thompson:It's a great question. I think the first thing to say is, I'm not at all surprised that there's a massive pent up demand. And I think I've been fairly consistent with that, with my clients and stuff that I've written about. Disney have the most amazing metaphor for this, to explain why there would be this pent up demand and they call it the " Closing Window ". And as a parent of children, I can really relate to this. So the idea of the Closing Window is, if you have children, let's say you have two or three kids. You don't really want to go to the big park experience until they're sort of five or six, because they don't really get it. The rides maybe aren't quite ready for them, unless you go to Legoland of course. And by the time they get to be 15 or so, and I've got a 16 year old, so I can relate to this, parents are deeply uncool and they want to go off and do their own things. Ben Thompson:So you've kind of got maybe eight or nine summers to go and make the memories that last a lifetime. And actually, that's not that many summers, so if you take one away, you're like, "Oh wow. I just lost a really big opportunity to go and do something amazing with my family." And if you think about the experience for parents with their children in parks, basically, it's the best you ever feel in the whole year as a mum or a dad. I think particularly as a dad, by the way, because you've put so much energy into it, it can be really expensive and it's a day that you'd never have to say no to your kids, typically. At least the way I try and do it. So you feel great, right? And those memories kind of reinforce your sense of yourself and the story that you tell yourself. Ben Thompson:So that's the power of the industry that we work in, and if you close the doors on people and say, "You can't go," and then they open up again, no surprise, there's going to be a kind of a rush to the doors. I think indoor is going to be different from outdoor. I think outdoor's obviously going to have the benefit of it's going to feel safer for the more risk-averse folks out there, like my wife. But the thing about indoor is still a massive role for it. It all depends about whether you've refreshed the experience. A big part of our industry is about suspense, surprising people, "Oh, I didn't know they were going to do that. Oh, that's different from last time," or, "I want to go further into that experience than I could the time before." I think that's why escape rooms are such a great trend, because you want to do it quicker. Maybe they change a few things and it's a different experience each time. So I think for anybody who is still waiting to get open, please don't try and open with the same experience that you did last time, because I think people are going to be looking for something new. Kelly Molson:That's really good advice. I guess there are some experiences that can't open at all at the moment, and that's a huge challenge. So I read last week about the Poster museum who is allowed, they are allowed to open and the restrictions have been lifted. However, they can't make it safe enough for people to come in because they've got restricted space and actually restricted space on the postal ride that they have, the actual experience. And so it is still really, really difficult for the industry. And I guess how can you advise... I guess you can't advise them if they physically can't look at the safety implications and they can't make it safe for people to come, that's a very different story. But so your advice to attractions is to refresh what they're doing. Don't just open as they have previously. Ben Thompson:I think that's right. One of the most important things I feel is about empathy. So I engaged a few of my colleagues in IAAPA organization, in February I think, with an idea around how we might recognize our healthcare and key workers once we opened. We called the idea Healthcare Heroes, and actually a number of people have taken it on. People in China have done it, a load of the folks in Europe have done it as well. And the idea there was just simple way of... The first people who come through the doors of our attractions ought to be the people who put their lives on the line to help us during COVID. So doctors, nurses, people working in healthcare. Actually teachers as well, by the way, my wife's a teacher. Teachers get a bad rap most of the time, but they had to go back into their workplaces a long time before anybody else. Ben Thompson:I thought that was a good idea for two reasons. One, is it shows that the people who are running that organization understand and care and empathize with what people are going through. There's a sense we're all in this together. Secondly, I think it allays risk. So if you are more on the kind of cautious, risk-averse side, if you can think, well, actually these guys are going to get healthcare workers are going to come through and they'll help them check out their facilities and run the rule over their sanitation measures and so on. Then you can have a double win. Ben Thompson:So yeah, I think empathy is good, and I think just communicating with people, what you're doing and why. The guys over in Shanghai, when they opened earlier in May, I thought they did an outstanding job of just being right up front. Here are the guidelines, this is what we're following. We're not putting the full number that we can put through from the get go. I think they had the right to go up to sort of 25, 30,000 people a day, I think they put 5,000 in on the first day and then it kind of moved up to 10 and so on. And that shows a really, again, kind of a sensitive mindset. It's not all about shoving as many people through as possible to try and generate some revenue. It's a bit more caring than that. Kelly Molson:Yeah, absolutely. Again, that's one of the things that we've been talking about in the office the last couple of weeks is we talk quite a lot about getting visitor numbers through the door, we've got an ebook, Double Your Visitor Numbers. You can't do that at the moment, so you've got to try and kind of maximize the revenue of the people that can come through, but also caring about their health and safety and making sure that they are safe is the fundamental thing that you need to be hearing about when you get those visitors back through the door. Ben Thompson:Yeah. I mean, I think, again, I wrote another piece on this about guest centricity as opposed to customer centricity. I've always thought that the metaphor of the host at the dinner table is the right one for any kind of hospitality business. When you invite people to come into your home, you're treating them as if they are a member of your family. You do anything for them. You want to understand all about them, their needs, their preferences, whatever it is. I think in the article, I kind of used the example of so many of the CRM platforms where you get asked your name five times, or I have to fill in the same details, yeah. It's the equivalent of after the second course say, "Oh yeah, what's your name again?" And, "Oh, is your husband... Dave is it? Oh, James, oh, sorry." So I just think that mindset of being all about the guests and caring for them and their day will stand us in good stead. Kelly Molson:See, it's really interesting actually. I think I'm going to hook you up with a past guest who's on our season one of the podcast. We spoke to Alex Book from Arcade. So they are a big VR agency and they actually talk about not calling guests, guests, or visitors. They talk about calling them players. And it was a really interesting discussion around how you engage with them and what that kind of message is. I think that the two of you should have a chat about that. That would be... Maybe on here. Maybe on here actually. Ben Thompson:That'll be great. Language is important. One of the things Joe talks about is the idea of staging an experience. They say work is theater. It's not a metaphor. We're not saying, "Think of work like theater." They're saying, "It is theater." You go to work every day to play a role and when you have an organization that is like a theatrical production, everyone playing their parts, staging the experience for the guests, whether that's a pharmaceutical company looking after patients, or a retail organization looking after shoppers or Alton Towers or Disneyland looking after families and so on in the theme park. Kelly Molson:Yeah. So on that note actually, with Disney, we were discussing last week about the Disney magic and how they still create that feeling. I mean, it's super exciting. I've been to Disney about four or five times when I was a kid and my parents love it, and there's not one part of that experience that isn't magic. I can remember my dad parking the car, even getting on the little tram that takes you into it. Every part of it is exciting. How do they keep that up with the measures that they have to have in place now? Ben Thompson:Yeah. The funny thing about Disney, and I was trying to explain to people as you, with all the talk that we've just been talking about, guest centricity, you would think that Disney were the ultimate guest-centric company, but they're not. They're not guest centric, they're cast-centric. I went to the IAAPA Leadership Summit in March of this year just before lockdown happened, actually. And I attended a presentation and met with a lady called Chris Tyler. Chris is the operations VP at Disneyland, Anaheim, California. And she took us through the launch of Galaxy's Edge, and I'd had the kind of privilege of seeing Galaxy's Edge, both in Anaheim and in Florida and I think it's outstanding. Anyway, Chris just talked about the cast. She talked about the long lead-in to that opening and about how they invested in education, in programs to tell the backstory of the characters, the narratives, all the different movies, how they approach costuming, how they allow personalization of costuming, how they chose the staff, the cast who actually ended up taking up those frontline roles. Ben Thompson:And then the launch event that they ran, and actually they did a fashion show where the kind of key Imagineers, people like Scott Trowbridge, Chris Beaty, Margaret Kerrison dressed up in the new costumes for Galaxy's Edge for Batu, the new world, which they've created. Or should I say the existing part of the Star Wars universe which they've brought to life, because that's what it is, it is an existing part. And so, basically the philosophy is about happy cast equals happy guests. That's the mantra of the Disney Institute, which is the external-facing management consultancy part of the organization who train companies all round the world. And if you're listening, guys, I'd love to partner with you one day. Ben Thompson:But that simple principle is the reason why when you go into any Disneyland park, chances are 98 times out of 100, you're meeting somebody who is happy to be there, and they are super motivated. They believe in what Disney are trying to do, whether it's somebody who works in the janitorial department, whether they're doing the laundry, whether they're in frontline guest service, whether it's ride ops, whatever it is, they know they're there to create a magical experience and magical memories. And they're generally some of the happiest staff that you're going to find. And that, in my view, is the reason why Disney will endure, the magic will endure, because they've done a pretty good job of looking after people and they'll continue to do so. Kelly Molson:I love that. Yeah, I love that. Happy team makes for happy visitors, for sure. Ben Thompson:I mean, it makes sense, doesn't it? Kelly Molson:Yeah. Ben Thompson:So much of... Whenever I've done research on launching parks, and there's so much of... The fantastic experience comes down to staff. Probably 25% of the overall piece. It isn't the coast, it isn't the... Well, it is those things, but those guys make up so much a part... And we forget that at our peril. Kelly Molson:Yeah, you're right actually, and I can draw a parallel to one of our clients for exactly the same reason. So we work with Eureka, the National Children's Museum and their team are called enablers. And every single one of them, every time I've been, is happy. They are engaging. They are genuinely really so delighted to be there and to welcome you and to help you. And it is just lovely. And that is part of the whole experience for me, that front of house team are so incredibly caring and dedicated to the people that are coming through the doors. And that is a big part of what that makes that experience brilliant. Ben Thompson:Absolutely. Kelly Molson:Big, big question for you. So what do you think the experience economy is going to look like post-COVID? Are experiences like Tony's, for example, are they going to need to have a different focus? Are they going to need to look at things that are more virtual continuing? We've seen a lot of that during lockdown. Virtual museum tours, virtual tours, virtual experiences, is that going to continue, or do you think things are going to go back to how they were? Ben Thompson:It's a bit like the saying in the Hollywood industry, in the film industry. Nobody knows, right? You get a lot of people who'll say, "Oh yeah, it's going to be like this. The world's going to change." No, the world isn't going to change. It's going to be exactly the same. How do you say whether a film is going to be a success or not? Nobody knows. We do a lot of work benchmarking what we think are really successful brands who've understood what the transformational economy is all about, and we showcase their work. So good example, not in our industry specifically, but they are an experienced provider, Peloton. Peloton they provide the program of how you become a better cyclist. I actually think it's about becoming a better looking cyclist as well, by the way, because it's a very sort of sexy brand. Ben Thompson:The products of Peloton is wellbeing, how I feel about myself. Yes, my fitness, but my sense of belonging, being in something part of in myself, bigger than myself. My sort of competitive juices flowing and all that kind of stuff. People who love the brand, they would not lose their whatever it is, hour in the morning or at the end of the day, or whatever, for anything. It's a sort of super positive drug, effectively, if you kind of think about it like that. Now, interestingly, that's an experience that's in-home. They connect it around the world through these super cool screens and you've got people from all different parts of the world, and that's sort of the point of the online community. Ben Thompson:I'm sure though, that there's a version of that that could go from, in the home, to in a physical space with lots of other people. And a good example there would be eSports. So eSports has grown out of gamers sat in front of a screen like this, maybe one or two together, playing in multiplayer. Now you've got leagues, franchises. When the London resort launch in X number of years time down in Kent, there's talk of an eSports franchise, having their physical home. Like Arsenal or Chelsea Football Club. The equivalent of them having it there and having stadiums full of people, sort of watching the gamers. So the point is it can go both ways. We're talking about physical theme park visitor attraction, brand homes, museums being places where people go to and we're worried about will they kind of come back? Ben Thompson:Well, I think lots of good examples of organizations creating virtual digital experiences and they're obviously revenue-driving opportunities as well. So we're about to do some work with the distillery industry, they are a provider, a curator, if you will, of really, really high-end product that, unless you tell the story... So bottles of whiskey or gin or whatever that are selling for hundreds and hundreds of pounds, you're never going to buy that in Waitrose. But if you wrap a story around it and talk about the provenance and the heritage and the characters who put that together in the years and years and whatever, then I think you're going to stand more chance of being successful. And all that can be done virtually just as well as it can in a... And often more effectively with some of the latest digital technologies. Kelly Molson:Yeah, absolutely. Ben Thompson:I almost certainly haven't answered the question, but I at least hopefully gave some thoughts. Kelly Molson:Oh, I don't think the question can be answered, can it? It's impossible at the moment. It's like you say, we just don't know. At the moment we don't know what's coming in the next couple of weeks, let alone the next couple of years. So I think I really enjoyed your answer though. And distillery is something that we know a little bit about Ben, so I feel like, I feel like there might be something happening there. Ben Thompson:Okay. Let's talk, let's talk. Kelly Molson:Let's talk. Do you know what, we connected quite early on at the beginning of lockdown, and one of the things that I really enjoyed, you wrote an article, a brilliant article, actually on Blooloop. It was called COVID-19 and the enduring strength of the attractions industry. What I have really enjoyed about the content that you've been sharing and the things that you've been talking about over this period, is how unbelievably positive that you have been about the industry. And you've talked a lot about the overriding resilience that attractions have. I kind of wanted to know, that article came out right at the beginning of lockdown. If you could go back, is there anything that you would add to that now, having seen what you've seen over the past few months? Ben Thompson:Well, first of all, I collaborated. It was my idea to write it, but I collaborated with four brilliant Dutch people. And we actually... We love the idea of putting a Zoom collaboration together. Obviously, we did it on Google Docs and whatever. So Raymond and Luca and Caroline, and I've forgotten the other guy's name. Oh, I'm sorry. Kelly Molson:Don't worry. Let me know. We'll put it in the show notes. So there'll be.. Ben Thompson:Yeah, put it in the show notes. Yeah. So they helped me sort of put that together. I don't think I would change anything. If I had a bit more time, I would like to have gone more into the psychological drivers, the deep kind of reasons why... Joe and Jim have this experience framework. So you've got education, entertainment, aesthetic, which is the sort of art appreciation, and then escapism in this sort of four box grid. And then they overlay that with things like edutainment and escatainment. What I think is really interesting is why do we feel the need to be entertained? What happens when we appreciate art? In our mind, in our heart, in our soul, what's actually going on there? Ben Thompson:And often it gets down to transformations. We as human beings, I think, are always looking to better ourselves. We have an idea of ourselves that's bigger, more perfect, better than the way we kind of realize we are, and we're always striving to try and get there. And I think brands that can help that sort of journey, help me understand my ambitions, achieve some of those ambitions, contribute to the world. I sometimes think... I oscillate between thinking we're all fundamentally selfish and we're all fundamentally good. And I think the truth is we're both. Successful businesses in our industry will be those who can really create the environment where we can be our best selves. Now, I've forgotten what the question was, but... Oh yeah, would I change anything about the article. I would love to go into more of that, kind of the sort of psychological approach to it, and what psychology can teach us in the entertainment industry, but the article was way longer than we started out, so. Kelly Molson:There was a lot to talk about. Ben Thompson:Charlie Read at Blooloop would probably have got his editing pen out. Kelly Molson:Well, I'll ask him, he's coming on air in a few weeks. Ben Thompson:Yeah. Kelly Molson:We are coming up to the end of the podcast interview. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking to you, Ben. Ben Thompson:Yeah, me too. Kelly Molson:I think you've got a really great take on what things are going to be like future. I know we can't be so specific at the moment, but I think some of the things you're working on just sound so incredibly exciting, and I'm really pleased to see that there's still that kind of overriding resilience in attractions. They're going to come back bigger and stronger. We like to ask our guests at the end of the podcast, if there's a book that you'd recommend that has helped shape your career in any way. Ben Thompson:Yeah. So there's two books, actually, if I can be cheeky- Kelly Molson:You can. Ben Thompson:If you have marketing in your job title at all, or you have any responsibility to do marketing, you need to read a book called How Brands Grow. It was written about 15ish years ago by a guy called Byron Sharp at the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute down in South Australia. I had the privilege of being trained by Byron and his team when I was at Mars. It's incredibly simple concept of how brands grow, obviously, hence the title, around mental availability, so that the memory structures that sit in your mind. So if I say Coca-Cola to you, now you're thinking about the colour red and swirls and the silvery writing and the shape of the bottle with the little glass pieces, which if you drop it on the floor, it's so recognisable that every shard will look like your worst Coke bottle. Ben Thompson:That's mental availability. And physical availability is the concept of being at arms reach. Whenever the desire to purchase from that category is triggered, that's the concept. But the book kind of goes into much more depth than that. And then I think for anybody in our industry, they need to get the latest copy of Joe's book, Joe and Jim's book The Experience Economy for which I really should be on commission. So I think Joe, we need to have a word about that. I just think you can't operate in this space without having understood that. Authenticity is also a really good one, which is the followup to experience economy. Kelly Molson:That's three books, that's super greedy, but I'm really glad that you shared The Experience Economy because it is a fantastic book. And I'm sure that many of our audience have read it. And if you haven't, you definitely need to. So what we like to do is if you'd like to win a copy, I mean, Ben, this is two books. So this is a double whammy. So if you'd like to win a copy of both of those books, then if you head over to our Twitter account, and if you retweet this episode announcement with the comment, "I want Ben's books," then you could be in with a chance of winning a copy of both of them. You've just upped my costs for this podcast, Ben. Ben Thompson:I actually have several spare copies of How Brands Grow. Kelly Molson:Oh, maybe Ben will send you one, personally. Ben Thompson:So, I'll put one in the post, well thumbed. Kelly Molson:Great. Ben, is there anything else that you'd like to share with us before we head off today? Ben Thompson:I think we're good. This has been really, really enjoyable. Apart from all the skewering you did at the end and made me talk about all the things I was rubbish at. Which is good. Kelly Molson:Just trying to get under the skin, Ben. Ben Thompson:Yes, you did that. Definitely need to edit that out. No, no, it's been great. I think this is a fantastic industry. We've taken a bit of a punch, but there's no limbs broken, we'll come back stronger. We've been growing 3 or 4% Kager for the last 10 years and the industry, entertained a billion people last year, probably slightly more and strong growth across the regions. I think it's a great place to work and have fun. Kelly Molson:That is a lovely place to end the podcast to us both today. Thank you so much for joining us, Ben. It's been a pleasure. Ben Thompson:Pleasure. Awesome. Thank you so much, Kelly. Kelly Molson:Thank you. Kelly Molson:Thanks for listening to Skip the Queue.

Eine der besten aber auch forderndsten Zeiten meines Lebens: mein Jahr in Australien. 2011 ging es für mich und meinen damaligen Freund auf den roten Kontinent am anderen Ende der Welt. Obwohl die Reise jetzt schon eine ganze Weile her ist, erinnere ich mich an vieles noch, als wäre es gestern gewesen. Da ich immer wieder Fragen zu meinen Erlebnissen bekomme und auch gerne davon erzähle, kommt hier nun eine ganze Podcastfolge über unsere Rundreise. Ich habe versucht, mich kurz zu fassen, aber das ganze Jahr in eine halbe Stunde Podcast zu packen, ist mir einfach nicht gelungen. Ein paar Themen schneide ich aus Zeitgründen nur kurz an, aber wenn ihr irgendetwas noch einmal ausführlicher hören möchtet, schreibt mir gerne bei Instagram: www.instagram.com/janinaaroundtheworld Viel Spaß beim Hören und wie immer freue ich mich sehr über euer Feedback!:)

Hamish Stuart is an Australian drumming legend. Born and raised in Sydney, Hamo had the idea very early on that if he could just play drums and make a living, survive as a musician, then that what he wanted.  Hamish has gone on play with Ayers Rock, Marcia Hines, Billy Fields, Doug Parkinson, Jackie Orszaczky, Mike Nock, Barry Leef, The Catholics, Lucie Thorne, Jade MacRae, Don Walker, and many more.  Known for his musicality, versatility, reliability, wit and delivery, the hang, and always beautiful sounds drums, so its pretty clear that this is why he's been able make that living, and survive as a musician for as long as he has.  In this chat, we talk about his life, his experiences as a working musician in Australia and of course we talk a bit about drums. Hamo tells some great stories too, except for the one that he forgets, but we had a special guest fill in the blanks on that one. Thank you Gordon Rytmeister. Recorded in Manly, Australia 17/02/2020. Intro Music: "Netherness in You" - (Hamish Stuart, Jackie Orszarsky, Dave Symes). Outro Music: "Northern Town" - Lucie Thorne (Hamish Stuart, Dave Symes, Chris Abrahams).   Hamish Stuart endorses Gretsch Drums. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Click here to securely donate to The Gig Life Podcast.

This week, in celebration of Australia Day, we discuss two major Australian facts. Mattie talks about the original convict transport, while Austin covers the history surrounding Uluru or, as white people mis-call it, Ayers Rock. Follow us on social media. Everything is @onthetestpod.

In 1985 Australia's most famous natural landmark, Uluru, the huge ancient red rock formerly known as Ayers Rock, was handed back to its traditional owners, the indigenous people of that part of central Australia, the Anangu. But as one of the government officials involved in the negotiations for the transfer, former private secretary for aboriginal affairs, Kim Wilson, tells Louise Hidalgo, not everyone in Australia was pleased.

Some groups' rights are more sacred than others. We have seen this play out in Australia and New Zealand this week, all citizens should be treated the same, but not in the age of identity and grievance politics. Tim and Diewue discuss the effects of this modern phenomenon in the latest episode of Trans Tasman Talk. Climbing Australia’s most famous natural landmark Ayers Rock is now banned. We are told climbing it is culturally insensitive to the indigenous peoples. But the original Uluru family did not believe so, this was more another case of the indigenous elites assisted by the left desiring a new excuse to tell off white people. The spy state continues to creep ever larger. In Australia a Joint Parliamentary Committee has recommended facial recognition legislation be rewritten. This is due to fears other government agencies when combined having the de-facto power to track all Australian citizens’ movements. Round two of New Zealand’s gun control legislation is before the Parliament. It would provide the police with the power to decide who is fit and proper to own firearms. But the legislation is unravelling with cooler heads now back together post the Christchurch massacre. Ministers in both nations have found themselves in embarrassing incidents. In Australia Energy Minister Angus Taylor provided the Daily Telegraph with a doctored City of Sydney travel expenses report. In New Zealand Police Minister Stuart Nash was driving his car illegally for two months.

This week Rose and Zara talk about the very sad deaths of 39 people in a refrigerated lorry in England, whether the UK IS going to leave the EU on Thursday or not, why the US is leaving the Paris Climate Agreement, the new beetle named after Greta Thunberg, the latest news on the Trump impeachment inquiry, why the clocks are changing in England, and lastly about Uluru in Australia, formerly known as Ayers Rock, which has now been closed to the public forever.

Hail the Chosen One, or King of the Jews. President Trump described himself as both this week where the big stories reigned supreme.  In the studio as always is Tim Wilms Editor of Chief of The Unshackled, David Hiscox Editor of The XYZ, joining us for the first half of the show Richard Wolstencroft from the Melbourne Underground Film Festival and the Report from Tiger Mountain, and later on via Skype returning is Australian Meditations. Trump has been talking himself up as Isrealis greatest ally, even suggesting Jews in America should vote for him on that basis. He was successful in having Israel ban two members of the congressional squad Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib from traveling to the West Bank. Trump made a pitch to purchase the island of Greenland from Denmark, but the offer was not well received by the Danish Prime Minister. Jeffrey Epstein's death has been officially ruled a suicide by the medical examiner, despite all of the irregularities and suspect circumstances surround his death in custody while awaiting fresh child sex trafficking charges. Australia is assisting the United States in sending warships to patrol the Straight of Hormuz, the strategic sea passage to the Persian Gulf and the Arab states. Iran has seized two oil tankers traveling through to flex its diplomatic muscle in the wake of the US tearing up the nuclear deal. Alan Jones and SockGate has continued. ABC's Media Watch program on Monday night revealed more comments he made against Jacinda Ardern. Sleeping Giants Oz and Mad Fucking Witches have pressured 22 advertisers to withdraw from his radio program. The new owners of 2GB Nine seem to be laying the groundwork to dismiss Jones. Pauline Hanson went to climb Ayers Rock before the activity is banned this October. However she sought permission from the two sons of Paddy Uluru and the Anangu Council of Elders. Later this week she was banned from Twitter for suggesting climate protestors should be moved on with a cattle prod. The Queensland Government is finally promising to introduce tougher laws to crack down on invasive and disruptive climate and vegan protesters in the state. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has been under pressure not just on that issue but the alleged corrupt activities of her Deputy Jackie Trade and Chief of Staff. The Proud Boys went to Portland in the US state of Oregon again and triggered Antifa. All the Proud Boys did was show up and Antifa with their armed violence again proved why President Trump is right in looking into listing them as a domestic terror organisation. The battle against the legalisation of abortion until birth in New South Wales has had a significant victory with more time allowed for consultation. This following a highly successful rally for life outside the Parliament Tuesday evening. Religious leaders and institutions have played a huge part in the renewed movement to protect human life. The upholding of the jury conviction against Cardinal George Pell by the Supreme Court of Victoria has still led to a community divided. Many believe the probability of him sexually assaulting the two choir boys in St Patrick's Cathedral was zero. It has led to a further credibility attack on the Catholic Church.

After a week off due to the ill health of the hosts The Uncuckables and we cram as much news and discussion into an extended show as possible. As well as David Hiscox, Editor of The XYZ and Tim Wilms Editor of Chief of The Unshackled returning also back from absence is James Fox Higgins of The Rational Rise. The world came to know who the Squad were: the progressive Democrat freshman congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Trump has clearly had enough of these anti-American socialists and told them on Twitter to go back where they came from. The Squad have called for Trump to be impeached due to his racism and human rights abuses at the southern border. But their labeling of illegal immigration dentition facilities as concentration camps inspired an Antifa terrorist attack. Elite pedophile rings can no longer be dismissed as mere conspiracy theories with the arrest of pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein on fresh child sex charges. But it would seem the internet is trying to divert the public's attention away from this scandal which implicates powerful people. The Storm Area 51 Facebook event has now taken over the internet instead. Hollywood is remaking classic movies replacing the lead characters with people of colour. The Little Mermaid Ariel is now black, and 007 is now a black woman. It is clear that Hollywood is helping to reshape demographics and the multicultural messaging in western societies. We review the recent court cases featuring prominent nationalists Tommy Robinson, Avi Yemini, Neil Erikson and Blair Cottrell. We finish by looking at the pending ban on climbing Ayers Rock because it is allegedly owned by the Aboriginal people and a sacred site. But it appears to be a cover for telling white people off again for being racist and insensitive.

Amanda and Sarah dig up some facts on rocks and minerals - kind of. Sarah takes a twisty, turny look at Magdalene crystal energy, only to veer a sharp left into an exploration of the Skull of Mary Magdalene, the Three Marys, and Saint Sarah, aka Sara-la-Kali. Amanda heads down under for a look at Uluru, aka Ayers Rock, a sacred site and national park landmark thought to curse sticky-fingered tourists. Other subjects covered include horse shaving, Amanda's childhood obsession with Australia, and the non-appeal of Monsieur Hulot. Recommendations: Sarah recommends the new A24 film Under the Silver Lake. Amanda recommends the HBO comedy series Los Espooksys and the 1990 creature feature Arachnophobia. Sources:  News.com.au (The souvenir from Uluru you should never take) Washington Post (Some Aborigines say to disturb Uluru is a curse) New York Times (The Mysteries of Ayers Rock) Canberra Times (Canberra man falls victim to the Uluru curse) For updates on future episodes and other fun stuff, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

It was another violate news week around the world. To discuss and analyse it all once again is Senior Editor of The Unshackled Damien Ferri. The biggest political story is United States President Donald Trump taking on four far-left progressive Democrat freshman congresswomen known as the squad: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. In a series of tweets, he accuses them of hating American suggests they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Trump has yet again been called a racist and the Democrat controlled house passed a resolution condemning his tweets. But Republicans now appreciative of his successes in office have not succumbed to media pressure to condemn Trump. Most rational commentators see Trump's attacks on the Squad as part of his 2020 re-election strategy to position himself as being the pro-American candidate and the Democratic Party as trying to undermine American values and greatness. The Democrats have been trying to undermine the US's southern border security attacking ICE detention facilities and raids. An Antifa member attempted a terror attack on an ICE facility in the US state of Washington armed with bombs and a rifle but was shot dead by police before he could harm anyone. Back in Australia climbing Ayers Rock is set to be officially banned due to the alleged spiritual significance of the site to Indigenous Australians. This seems to more of a case of those in the indigenous grievance industry finding another way to tell white people off for being disrespectful. Former Greens leader Bob Brown has decided he doesn't like wind-farms due to their environmental and atheistic impact in his home state of Tasmania. He is now opposed to coal, hydro, coal seam gas and now wind power. There have been more anti-Adani coal mine protests in Brisbane which intentionally block peak hour traffic. The Queensland Labor Government has reluctantly approved the mine but seems to be perfectly happy to enable these disruptive protests led by Marxist group Socialist Alternative and extreme environmentalist group Extinction Rebellion.

[0:29] I have barely barely barely use Windows 95 now for me it's cuz I skipped it because they weren't a life then. Yeah right and t351 those are all great operating systems 95 was just, I used to but at work I used at the 4 I'm going to stop at home so episode 95, birthday that's true that's true i birthday to me happy where the kb view birthday gift what did you get up that later i well so it's a liquid. I don't know it's cold out so welcome to episode 95 David's birthday episode, Peterson Wellness podcast hosted by us the surface mask so we can say that over and over a few times because we don't have a lot of content today while it's cuz everyone else was, not working on American Thanksgiving okay well there's a few little things we need to do David hey guys what about the word of the week, yeah alright so lots of birthday stuff going on so for those of you don't know where the week is a drinking game, every time you hear the word of the week you could take a drink at sometimes we toy with you by not saying the word of the week will actually just forget. [1:49] Either get really hydrated or really dehydrate depending what you drinking. Works for us so I don't have a drink in front of me so we're going to have to fix that I had a coffee but it's not alright so let's move on what else is there David what's coming up espresso machine in his office are recording studio so. That is quite the upgrade to the studio that's the hack of the week. Is it now though Act of the week is what so we don't have soundtrack of the week so I just kind of stumbled onto this. Microsoft uses to take picture of you when you log on with Windows hello is not the same camera used to take a picture of you for. [2:33] Kind of seems obvious but doesn't really this seem too much of a point to it but what the point is is you can actually just cover up the visual camera, leaving the login camera there and you can still enjoy Windows hello, Muller's Kelly the new episode the new series they didn't speak in the computers versus attack in the. Not into that one video that they've math so neighborhood here where they've got it intersection Mulder and Scully streets in Ottawa is there a yes wow we should do a live on the spot there so tape on the camera already full of article about it but I just happened to notice it by chance on my Surface go and then I just tried it on my Surface laptop and you can just put a small piece of tape there and Minnie Surface Book, book i'm sorry will a cut piece of skull six laptop office cuz that once are fucked up and then you have the pleasure of walking on use lean quickly and people can't be a stupid on you as easily alright so for those of you who don't know how hello works it uses infrared camera and the regular camera is not infrared it is a. [3:49] You'll spectra camera right because things that we want humans to see but it needs the infrared in order to do things like differentiate between you and a photograph of you or differentiate between, closer than trying to take a picture of the column over here and I just noticed that the mixing board would make a good picture all right and so, if use the infrared camera to actually look at the heat pattern from your face and eyes and things like that that you are, life in florida right and also you can tell the difference between. It definitely does a whole lot of stuff that you can't just do it the visual can't but I always assume that it used to be chill Cameron to. That man works at night you can you can actually just be in that it without without my flight, okay so what's next David I wanted to talk about some general. Christmas buying tips Christmas buying tips okay I'm not up for what for buying a laptop a lot of people buy a laptop at this time of year really people do. And just a lot of common mistakes of people with laptops I like the background music there wow wow I hope it doesn't mess up our voice. [5:02] Laptop buying tips. [5:10] Friday all that's herself people are buying a lot of this Hardware so I think the most important thing you can do is make sure you get no matter what you're doing with your life. Or a computer fan try to get at least 8 gigs if you're buying a Windows laptop by an Android phone that was my downside of the phone I bought, if your with your phone to a strip by the most memory you can well within reason for eight reasonable for a is reasonable for device that is just a consumption device for what work. You know when two or three years from now you will not feature prove it you want where is. It kicks you probably will I have a seven-year-old i7 with 8 gigs of RAM and it still works pretty well because it was. SSD what about so you've got here you don't have to give. This goes really that important the most important fast, having a huge amount of disc is not usually important if you fast and 128th I think is what most people need because of putting their data into the cloud. Minimum. [6:24] I have a terabyte I'm usually around 300 gigs is roughly where I am a half a terabyte give me some breathing room. Big I need to do temporarily and then have a heavy user than most. [6:39] You want this more just make sure you have a nice SD slots available to add additional memory should you need it temporarily. [6:52] Gonna airplane then yeah you could put in a slot there and sst. And I already called it SD card and you get out a bit of memory with some movies on it, okay instead of walking down your regular memory and then what I've done as well is Ibis, but Friday I bought a bunch of SanDisk Ultra extreme a super Alpha, who was the car that's okay for my go pro and other things i don't like we all slack check that there really aren't they there hundred twenty five dollars each of them for twenty nine bucks each oh really hundred twenty gig in the fastest a us and this makes in so that's good for that kinda stuff so that would be perfect to any in your phone if it's not made by Apple or a tablet if it's not made for apple or a laptop if it's. Not made by Apple I guess okay so disc so yes you definitely do not want if you want to get an SSD if possible as much as possible and, slower and things like that if so size i think that really is a personal preference it is you want to depend on whether to consumption device or whether it's a creation device I find it easier create on a larger device them to consume but my eyes are bad to sometimes like a bigger screen but the, I can adjust if I need to lease at least feel a type on the keyboard things like that like I have a 13 inch laptop and I'm much more productive on it than us a smaller laptop of course. [8:21] I mean what they're both good, thought but the balancing act too small not productive but if you're not going to be using for creation all that often you might be a little smaller lighter The Balancing Act the other thing I would suggest is too big, can be bad if it's a portable because it's hard to carry use a lot of power things like that. You're right the tablet like the be at the surface go or regular surface or you know the various Apple tablets that you really can carry around with you all day and not notices there, I told you the last thing I wanted was his price but I think it's two other things you've asked what if I messed and I think they'd let me put in the show not since we type I think they directly impact the price okay. Processor processor sure and the other one is. [9:17] Wouldn't it already have a touchless Dell laptop so that touch screens, name one major manufacturer Apple. It's there as a lasagne less of the the dial in hp's there two or three years ago they definitely have some okay somebody thoughts on top should have touch. [9:37] Again I think I should have thought so I think you should you don't necessarily have to use touch as a primary input method to occasionally use in front of you. [9:48] Get, all things being equal that not if if you have the option for touch with a lot of extra cost do it gas work they give you a lap top that doesn't have such on it and its well that's with this but here's the thing there now monitors that have touch true and so you can actually touch sensor connected to your laptop if you only touch at work and you don't really need touch when you're, when you're not at work then you got that option but touches something to consider a lot of people don't consider that in their laptop choices and then the other one processor and, a lot of options on processor between manufactures right it is Intel stock of all sorts of processors and it's very difficult to keep track of which processor is faster than which which one you should get they've got so there are some I Pfizer Fashions on my sevens there are where did the name of the quad core vs dual-core number of cores processor is probably the most difficult thing to make a make a set of choice are you having any you go to the store and of course it's not loaded with all the crap that you'll eventually end up on and it's gonna be fast but so years from now and then there's all the multi vendor this there's an empty there's, bucket of Cyrax anymore or any of those other parties but the but the is AMD and Intel of the big players then you got arm devices I was at Staples yesterday and I always walk by and check out the laptops and they had this. [11:14] Screaming deal on it was a seventeen it's laptop. [11:19] And how to like a i get a terabyte ss d was more like sixteen gigs of memory cuz because nobody wanted to pay, how much was it it was like seven $99 Canadian I don't know, but that but it was just like this huge thing it was just like like as long as you never tuck it anywhere I mean see if he's like she thought about the battery is really just that UPS in case your power goes out for 5, it would it would be a beautiful thing to have at your desk and you know why I could make sense nowadays is because what. [11:51] All your cloud storage in your settings be in the cloud and such, you really don't need to take your computer with you that much cuz you go home and if you have your other computer hooked up your MSA or your tablet or whatever, you're getting almost everything there anyway so maybe it doesn't make sense have a 17-inch Brosius shocked by the size of this thing around your house, bright and not take it places and not travel with it then 50 minutes left I want to start or even 79 right. But if you're going to use it a lot you might need to you might need to have a spoon that's somewhat stationary and one that's a little more portable and you're not have much more experience with surface devices but apple and other high-end manufacturers if your vinyl. Let's say $1,000 laptop or above its there's a good chance it's going to last four five six seven years is going to last quite a while so maybe you buy one now and you buy a tablet in a few years, I know I'll turn it back and forth when you refresh them so here's the other thing that we didn't cover What GPU yes, so my kids. [13:04] Fickle processing unit for graphics processing unit so if your mining that point of course or are you doing any kind of three d graphics finder to the fair watching movies are there is a telegraph you don't need don't need a GPU you know why you know that look at your little Fire TV stick it probably, never has nothing as far as the processor going to be able to keep up if you're going to be doing anything, math intensive or are you going to be doing it any three d graphics say kids are playing i don't know. [13:36] Pubg or. [13:40] Fortnite or anything like that it's definitely better than GPS but my kids love grabbing. The Surface Book there is an option for an external GPU and then look into that I don't know how good they are not depends on the connection you have to USBC obviously, right but you could have a FireWire keep you hooked up your gaming Monitor and then have that hooked up your laptop disconnected take laptop and it's catchy PCS behind yes. Right so there's that option so memory size. [14:12] Processor touch portability about goes hand-in-hand with size. Repeat the last one is price price I think if you if you spend over $1,000 these days you're going to get a vintage made in American, the american, call the fence cuz you pay extra for certain brands are the few others that you pay a premium for. [14:41] And then even with inline between HP and Dell so I know those very much there they have their cheaper lines right so you have to understand the lights on the Dell Inspiron which is really a home user, consumer model and the latitude which is the business model and here's my advice. Buy as much computer as you can afford don't because you'll be future-proofing, and look at things like processor or hard to upgrade after the fact memory and disk can be upgraded after the fact you screw up my memory probably not find out, some usually not well if you're if it depends if you punch a button if you like if your buying one with for you could probably a pretty to eight, you may have to throw your old memory away but you can still upgrade it down the road so if you need to save a little bit of money buy a faster processor with less memory now and get more memory later or smaller discbound it again another diss later those are all things you can upgrade can't really change your screen size you can't really add touch and is very thin you can't really change your processor, at or GPU so those biological in egpu so those are the things to think about if he's making trade awesome price so, don't buy the least computer you can get away with because you'll very very soon outgrow it because developers are developing applications on the next bill for the next generation of hardware and new applications will not run well on that. [16:05] Anything else to talk about let's move on to the to the what. To the new story of the week. Thanksgiving so that will happen but something very very exciting happen today to dry up today is what day date today is david birthday whenever there is a csf it's november twenty six david's birthday so it's a birthday few times now yes. [16:40] Microsoft overtook Apple to be the world's most valuable company for a few hours, you look at my Microsoft right then pulled back Ashley Microsoft stock is down from where it was about a month month ago it's wet it's raining at 106 Powell Street it over 110 month-and-a-half ago however, alexis stock is down over its it all time high what happened, apples pulled back Amazon is pulled back and so right now those three are going to be in Google and pull back a little bit Microsoft pull back glass. It's like the old joke you know how do you how do you how do you outrun a bear or something I don't know. [17:39] Billion dollars has roughly where they were in those details in there now Google went up because I bought a new phone, yes a little bit later so that was my new story make me happy I got to Microsoft stock good good and Elon Musk, I assume everyone who listen to a podcast know who she is. And since you went to school very close to here then now we have to keep track of every once in awhile percent chance.

So we're leaving today I've got you are going to open up hold up hold up on you get the on the camera I bought a dumpster fire so yes this is the phone give me a second here to start the camera. [20:11] Okay here we are not life with Collins new pixel 3XL and I'm not sure, he bought it just cuz Paul Trot called it a dumpster fire well that was a great it's cold here dumpster fire is nice and warm outside in the alley behind the building when you're outside cold who wouldn't want a dumpster fire I ate I don't know or was it is that American bad thing in Canada it's a good thing yeah s*** in the stick that's bad everywhere we can say that. We we can have a quitter well but rather how to stick that on my hand through the route to open up to a salon at the kit let's pull out the we can share this with illegal weapon the theme pics that the team pixel will do that so. First off it's got myself I don't even need the knife it's got a little tab to pull but let me ask if I don't have nail so there we go it's like on when you're opening up a video game or those DVDs years ago a little little piece there to pull up a little tab there to pull up. I just don't have nails to get under it so. There we go you guys at work that are trying to buy my old iPhone from me. Take a look at that it's all nicely. [21:29] Packaged least that's what we say. Can unwrap it so let's see how about sideways what do you mean, I can't compare to your phone cuz you're recording with it good point, size-wise it's almost the same size as a little narrower but it's got a bigger screen up at you yeah I was going to say that and it's got, the world biggest notch or does it turn it on. [22:09] That's really what size of a notch on it oh my God what the fork and. [22:18] You said you created another account just for this so couple of things for those of you that are considered drunk. Alright english united states start connect to mobile network what so, start Sim free setup instead okay so why did you choose this phone so I was looking at Apple and I got a 64 gig Apple iPhone 6s plus right, I wanted a little bit more memory right okay and if I wanted to get one of the new iPhones I got to jump up the intro. Point is 64 gig at the bottom and then want that next up is 256 gigs that really up the price when I put everything all in eyes looking over two grand. [23:16] Saying sorry, how you didn't see that I didn't get the Google car so but it still it was it was pretty close to Grand now the issue of the other issue is I want the best camera possible for my truck and hold on how much would this be, and keep locking up i got the black friday deal on it i got it for will be plus the bill, the plot the bill keep talking okay fuck you talking about mia you said you to be careful of did you get a case for yet i didn't home. It's going to start. [23:57] And so like to know Skip that here's our Wi-Fi networks. It's test but forgot the password give my google store i like the feel of it so i gotta print reader incense in the back. [24:16] So it was. [24:21] Yeah I had a discount on it $250 cuz I didn't find somebody that wanted to go with the flow you didn't give the two for two same thing right almost think they look up in 10 dollars difference so, I'll take a look at that so I ended up getting it for my total with tax $1,140.17. So I got it for under a thousand bucks Canadian so that's about 700 you bought it because you think the camera is amazing, best camera out there my second choice was the OnePlus 60 but it's not waterproof that's one of the things on it and then the cameras not as good so this was waterproof, and. [25:06] Has the best camera foul is four gigs of ram which i think is a bit of a problem but i think of puppy live with it and how much i starch that two hundred twenty eight gig that's the top end this that but i'm limited google. Dry storage plus you can add your own nest no he can't there's no MicroSD no not on the waterproof ones. But really there is on my camera considering switching phones, you install Google Drive on your phone and that's my case 900s and then you backup your phone to Google Drive is map for it and I hope your phone your contacts your photos your calendar right, and you enable this new phone. You I would have to turn off turn off iMessage by the way because it'll happen is when people try to contact you you like to My Cry message wife we are Google phone, your Android phone Bella work do I won't work too well say turn all that off before you migrate over from somebody backup your phone. Put your sim into the new phone and code so google drive again i think i should probably already installed on it too quickly and just restore from backup, awesome and you're good to go so let's see what you think about this after your trip before my trip I've got 15 days since I left it so before each other thing now anybody wants lightning cables I can have a whole lot of those. [26:29] So it comes with that comes with a couple of things here it comes with earbuds. What's will go to cinema connector or do you have to use the it comes with your butts that worked out of the us pc usb c yeah and also comes with this little, so that's the year but so usb c but this load after let's new headphones lowry having love, or microphones or whatever yeah yeah that would be like okay and course a usb cable so but that's a usb c to usb c cable, the connector that okay see his or her falls in a better than that it's the other connector here to for ge to charge so here's a pro tip cold on this doesn't help. How does that help me charge it I want here's a pro tip don't get onto a long flight, without the right cables yes so I will be buying some cables today on Cyber Monday I'm going to wrap up this video so all right and then we'll wrap up the audio podcast in just a moment right cuz we've got the the after-party to get to yes. Well that was interesting in it i don't we should a done. [27:40] I wouldn't have heard it on the camera anyway that's that's true yeah. So there we are we done are we going to do a whiskey tasting I guess we have a couple and we should at least say goodbye. [28:02] Music.

A couple things about the phone my text messages to do that and we were talking about Pimm's. Not the stuff from England that you mix with liquor personal information manager so most modern phones Android and. I give you a bottle of redbreast single pot still Irish whiskey aged 12 years. He knows masters engineering metallurgy and things like that we've talked about building still next summer. [29:28] So it's really i've two questions is it legal. What's the second question when the next summer where can i hook is a funeral nowadays posse legal there's no thrill. Hurry up so this red dress is supposed to be pretty good now it's difficult if you have multiple information sources multiple contacts and things like that so now the phones. Close to my heart. [30:01] Are you go look at that nice. Alright okay the phone phone. [30:22] Okay. [30:24] So the red dress the beautiful balance single pot still irish whiskey with a warm generous texture rich sweet flavor spicy kick. [30:33] Love you many connoisseurs the Fireside Irish whiskey available and that's why I bought it for you. [30:41] It also comes in a cast but I don't know how I didn't know how to dilute it so perfect fall weather whiskey. Really very fruity hiking with dave this tastes like a dumpster fire spells path. I'm surprised your phone hasn't hasn't burst into flames actually spilled it on the iPhone not on the last generation that was not waterproof. [31:10] Alright thanks. I broke the camera wants by pouring by 4 and the Keith's Brewery in the Halifax I spilled a beer on it. But not too much beer I save most nahmir. So I like this hotel nice warm start in a spicy pepper finish the color not too sweet. Yeah because when you going to call on your caller ID where's it going to look at 20-20 different contact managers on the phone where they going to look at it in the file that this floor of a text comes in I wasn't too big. [31:56] Apps on your phone that have to use the OS his pimp your text messaging, and your phone calls that's on the phone app and the and the SMS app so I have an app on my phone that when I get a call it pops up with. Basic information from phone book including whether they're telemarketer and I've configured it when it's the telemarketers to go straight to voicemail. But that's okay okay last five years accessing the data accessing your penalty right who or or or training, inside car mode it's it's running as well as the pimp and its release reading other information the Apache is Google only has this is the Google Voice Assistant where it'll actually act as a person or set so it's somebody's not in your contact list it'll answer the phone and ask them questions and they still have the answer it'll either that's good let them come or not, just the us but still looking forward to that yeah. I will wrap them like really rude questions and things like that if you can tell Margaret so can you go for the telemarketers what the last time you had a bowel movement. I think like that yeah yeah. [33:19] Off up early but its years that it's it's it's also my google phones birthday will they korea. [33:28] Alright so spill. Sure okay guys were smart enough to kill ourselves haven't cut myself yet doesn't mean I won't do it again okay so you have Heat playing a boiler when you have a spiral cop and a copper wire come out the top dude. Two it will evaporated anaconda dinner so it's it's a boiler in of operator to consider right that's it okay if. If ancient Irish could do it with the internet. You got all access the right people got like Breaking Bad here we won't sell it. [34:24] For those that want to live on the edge since now that marijuana is legal in Canada what do you do for Thrills cuz nobody. You're not allowed to smoke anymore basically so, yeah that's awesome that's awesome I talked about this before so hopefully I'll have Brad Sam's on next week to Jack about his book and with any luck we'll be able to get a copy of the book ahead of. Say good things about it cuz it's it's about surface that needs the surface how could it possibly not. Be cut I will have to say that I think it's a dumpster fire and when he gets upset because it candidate that's a good term yes. Whiskey so. Dumpster fire I love that that's great sara americans a few minutes we let go from, your smart people are coming in with the this is real or if she really wants to move the code to get away from drugs are a smart. [35:53] What let's wrap aptos, we should what would be the proper number of people to finish a bottle every podcast 2, well we wanna fish quick know about that i guess what everyone have like one or two glasses so as of this is a must and we get a twenty after forty ounces so which one is this an twenty this is the twenty.

Can i deduct a porpoise but it's okay milam the role either so six alright. Cuz I thought you like this I wanted to get some little different high quality, hard to find good whiskey Street this is not a cheap whiskey by the way but it's less expensive than some of the Whiskey's I typically like to the roof price wise. Yeah yeah you need to have a everyday whiskey might be the. [37:41] This is about to talk to Everyday whiskeys that idea which are 3-1 I still drink the northern Harvest.

Ayers Rock were the first Mushrooms Records band to sign an international recording contract. And not just with any old 'Mickey Mouse' American record label either - no less than A&M Records run by the legendary Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss. The extraordinary musical journey of former lead vocalist of The Delltones and also The Crescents, Col Loughnan, is an amazing tale. A bona fide singing pop star, with a swag of hit records - Col gave it all away to play the saxophone - in a short space of time he would go on to become a member of the famed Daly-Wilson Big Band, before joining Ayers Rock, a band that would go onto make some incredible rock soundscapes. Ayers Rock were the first Australian band to tour the American stadium circuit, playing before massive crowds in the years prior to the Aussie onslaught by the likes of LRB, AC/DC, INXS etc. - We sure do love to abbrev. down under. The Col Loughnan story includes playing and touring with the very best in the business, Frank Sinatra, Peter Allen, Shirely Bassey, Georgie Fame and Sammy Davis Jr.  Thanks for Listening - please like our Facebook page - All Australian Music Stories.

This is a patreon sponsored episode!  Our friend Kylie chose the Azaria Chamberlain Story as her topic.  This topic took us to the wild land of AUSTRALIA!!!!!  The Chamberlain family was vacationing at Ayers Rock in the 1980's.  The family was settlinging in for the night whe, Mother--Lindy Chamberlain, heard her baby crying 30ft away in their tent.  When she arrived to the tent, she allagedly observed a dingo running away with her baby.  The baby was never found, but Lindy was sentenced to life in prison for murder!!  A search warrant showed a tremendous amount of fetal blood in the family vehicle.  The police called it a sacraficial murder for their 7th Day Adventist beliefs.  This episode was a research monster and we are sure you'll enjoy this true crime massacre.Would you like to choose your own topic?!  Here's how.Support us!!: Patreon.com/brohiopodcastIn our new patreon, Nick's wife, Stacey, joins us.

This episode is all about "How to attract people to your visitor attraction". Recorded in Republic of Work - co-working space - in Cork Ireland - this is not a political podcast. Your geographical location is one of the most attractive things about you online. Two of the questions that people want an answer to (1) "Where in the world are you?" (2) "Can these people sell me what I want to buy? The journey towards affection... Location Matters. St Patrick's Day - Roger sounds like he's applying for a job with Bord Failte Oregon USA did something completely different: they didn't show photos of beautiful places & happy people Note: We have a newsletter now (whispers Roger) The state of Oregon used Animation to attract people. Oregon: "This is what it feels like" Paul suggests - We'll write to the governor of Oregon to find out how successful the campaign is. 3 ways of marketing a visitor attraction (1) provide information about the place (2) impress people (get them to go wow - images & testimonials) (3) conjure up desire to go there Paul talks about Spike Island - "Ireland's Alcatraz" "People who collect prisons go to Spike." The Spike (also called the Spire) in Dublin on O'Connell Street - 120 metres high Papillon film (1973) - starred Steve McQueen (and Dustin Hoffman) Escape from Alcatraz film (1979) Spike Island in Cork Ireland & Alcatraz compared & contrasted "There are no sharks around Spike." How to differentiate Spike from Alcatraz: (1) Geographical (2) Another example: South Island New Zealand v Ayers Rock in Australia How do you attract people to select your attraction? "Experience a better prison: - could be a slogan. Another prison: Robben Island - where Nelson Mandela was prisoner. Spike Island has more cells than Robben Island Forget Alcatrez - More people escaped from Spike Island Colditz Prison WW2 . a castle for officers - 1955 film The Great Escape (1963 film) starring Steve McQueen The Shawshank Redemption (1994 film) There are many Escape stories - they attract people. "Come to our prison - the prison where we couldn't keep them in." How you market a place in the most genuinely attractive way ... You can (1) Tell stories about your place (2) Contrast your place with others (3) Make a virtue of what people may say is your weakness The states of Oregon & Washington compete for visitors. "Come to Oregon - we think differently". Which medium will you use to make your place attractive? Differentiate your business by the way in which you present your business. Paul talks about blurbs on the back of books: the most important David Gluckman "That S*it Will Never Sell" The Bible has no blurb Roger has bought a book. You can be a more effective warrior fighting on the same ground, in the same arena - or you can be so different that you're in a "category of one". Chase Jarvis said you don't need to be better - you just need to be different. "We're out of time my baby" by Chris Farlow is the song that pops into Paul's mind at the end of the show.

Berg har genom historien fyllt människor med vördnad och har ofta ansetts som heliga. På bergen har gudarna haft sina boningar och eremiter har sökt sig till bergen för att nå religiösa insikter och komma närmare Gud. Från bergen kan man blicka ut över världen och än idag innebär höga och farliga berg en prövning för vandrare och bergsklättrare. Under årtusenden har berg fascinerat människor och getts olika religiösa betydelser. Noaks ark blev stående på berget Ararat och i antikens Grekland ansågs Olympos vara gudarnas boning. På Sinai berg fick Moses stentavlorna med de tio budorden och på Tempelberget i Jerusalem påbörjade Mohammed sin himmelsfärd. I andra delar av världen har exempelvis Ayers Rock i Australien, Fuji i Japan och Klippiga bergen i Nordamerika laddats med olika religiösa betydelser. I den nya boken Vägar till insikt och utsikt skriver en antal religionshistoriker vid Uppsala universitet om berg i olika religiösa traditioner, och i veckans program medverkar några av dem. Vi hör Lena Roos, Nils Billing, Sebastian Cöllen och Göran Eidevall i ett samtal om varför berg i alla tider och i olika religioner har fascinerat och lockat människor. Programledare är Urban Björstadius.
