Dr Amy Clarke on the history of Big Things and our enduring fondness for kitsch and curious creations

We visit NSW and Australia's first inland city in 1863, Goulburn is a proud historic town thriving with museums, festivals, restaurants and galleries. There is also plenty of surrounding outdoor adventure, from canyoning and rock climbing to abseiling and caving.Standing on Goulburn's fringe is the Big Merino – one of Australia's iconic ‘big things' and symbolic of the city known as the fine wool capital of the world. For a beautiful panorama of Goulburn, head to the tower lookout in the Rocky Hill War Memorial and Museum.Soak up Goulburn's beautifully preserved history on a self-guided walk or guided tour, which includes the towering St Saviour's Anglican Cathedral. You can also visit historic Riversdale Homestead, which dates back to the 1830s. Rail buffs will love the Goulburn Rail Heritage Centre. Did you know that you can speak to us to feature this show on your community radio station, or website, we would love to talk with you.  If you would like to reach out and help us with this fiercely Australian and independent podcast with sponsorship or product support, please contact us.We love your feedback and comments, and if you have something that you think we should feature, review, visit or discuss, then please drop us an email at  phatcat@iinet.net.au Like us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramSupport us on PatreonListen on SpotifyListen on AppleListen on GoogleListen on iHeartRadioThank you for supporting us, visit www.phatcatmedia.com.au for more informationSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=27844421) Hosted on Acast.

When Stuart MacGill was allegedly kidnapped over a failed cocaine deal, the ex Test cricket star told police his captors took his mobile phone before forcing him into a car.

Welcome to That's Incredible! A podcast about the unexpectedly awesome things that are all around us.  In Australia, just about every small town has a 'Big Thing'. The Big Banana, the Big Merino, the Big Prawn, even the Big Potato. So when the Big Sausage was stolen off the roof of the local butcher in Toowoomba, Queensland, the whole town wanted to solve the mystery. The owner of the butcher, Mark Nolan, tells us all about the case of the missing Sausage King. CREDITS Thank you to our special guest Mark Nolan from Grays Modern Meats.

Formed a little over two years ago, Big Merino play original songs that blur the lines between rock, country, blues, roots, soul, funk and grunge, while occasionally making forays into lesser-known genres such as New Orleans 2nd Line. In this episode, Alex and Collin walk us through the track "Black Cockatoos" lifted from their current Suburban Wildlife album.

We discuss (and rank) Australia's BIG things. Big Lobster, Big Forks, Big Merino, you name it, we rank it! We chat about why our country is covered in replica fruit and animals and sometimes cigarettes.

Episode 50 of Don't You Know Who I Am? hosted by Josh Earl with Josie Long, Tom Walker, Adam Richard and Matt Stewart. We find out who Buzzfeed told Josie she was, why Matt had a run-in at the Big Merino and what Tom was doing in the shower.

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service - “Licence to Kilt” Welcome to SPECTRE etc. This is the James Bond podcast where we discuss the ins and the outs of each film. In this episode, it is “Sayonara Sean!” as the only Bond we’ve ever known is re-cast. George Lazenby is not the only new thing about this Bond - our cold-hearted spy now has all sorts of feelings! Join our journey on George’s emotional rollercoaster in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. * The pre-titles sequence (slowly) reveals a new Bond smashing through the fourth wall. Then the titles sequence (subtly) works to ensure we know that - even without Connery - this is still a Bond film. * Draco’s henchmen (or are they matchmakers?) do their best to help Bond and Tracy come together. * We are heartened by Bond finally asking Moneypenny on an actual date, before we are dismayed by his little tantrum. But Bond brings us back onboard by falling in love with Tracy using the magic of montage! * Bond’s new safecracker seems a step backward from the previous film, but DOES allow him time to check Playboy’s new direction. * Bond arrives in Switzerland - undercover as Hillary Bray - and jumps in Irma’s sleigh. At Piz Gloria he sees many beautiful “clients” of the “allergy institute” before he and Blofeld meet! For the first time? It seems that way. But why is that? * Bond’s alter-ego Hilly is having a great time with the ladies, but our thoughts are with poor Tracy waiting at home for her lover to return. * Bond is caught by Blofeld and stuffed into the cable-car gears room. Bond escapes this not-really-a-prison in what is so very nearly a great scene. * Bond heads off down the hill, incognito in powder-blue leggings. Just when all seems lost, he is saved by Tracy. This involves the grand Swiss traditions of a demolition derby on ice, and proposing marriage in a barn. * Bond again has to ski for safety, but Blofeld triggers an avalanche and captures Tracy. MI6 are no help, so Bond asks “Father of the Year” Draco to help him mount a rescue attempt. Draco saves his daughter by punching her in the face, while Blofeld battles Bond in bobsleds before branching off. * A odd bunch of people gather for Bond’s wedding, before Bond opens his honeymoon with some light deflowering action. Official SPECTRE etc Theory (OffSeT) #5: Connery can’t play romance We recite Connery’s entire acting resume (as we know it) and reach the obvious conclusion - as good an actor as Sean is, he does not take romantic roles. Harrison Ford, Nicholas Cage, a submarine… Connery avoids female co-stars! And of course, keep checking back for a link to our petition to have Lazenby’s hometown of Goulburn honour the great man by erecting a “Big George” right there with the Big Merino. Worst Impersonation Trophy: About two hours in, Col is concerned about Draco and M having a casual chat at the wedding. The rest of us are concerned about Col attempting a “Godfather” accent that comes out closer to bronchitis than Brando...

By some estimates, there are as many as 150 ‘big things' strewn across Australia. There's the Big Banana, the Big Merino and even the Big Magic Mushroom.
