Podcasts about Blue Mountains

We're heading East today!  Oregon's Blue Mountains encompass some of the most beautiful landscapes and habitats anywhere. Within the Blue's 15,000 square miles, you'll find such Oregon gems as the John Day river, the Eagle Cap wilderness, Hell's Canyon, and a huge percentage of Oregon's forests. But because they are geographically isolated from major population centers, they often don't get the recognition they deserve.That remoteness also makes them vulnerable to resource extraction.  And right now, the Forest Service, which manages millions of acres of public land within the Blues, is revising their management plan under the most environmentally hostile administration in my lifetime.To learn more about this special part of Oregon, and how to defend it, I'm joined today by Paula Hood, co-director of the Blue Mountains Biodiversity Project.And as I mentioned last week, I am looking for volunteers to help with produce the show! That means help hosting, researching, editing, whatever! No experience necessary.To learn more, or if you have feedback, guest ideas, etc, you can email coastrangeradio@gmail.com.Show Notes:BMBP Action Alert: https://bluemountainsbiodiversityproject.org/2025/09/06/action-alert-for-blue-mountains-forest-plan-revision-scoping-comments/BMBP Vision for the Blues: https://bluemountainsbiodiversityproject.org/2025/08/04/an-overarching-vision-for-the-blue-mountains-forest-plan-revision/https://www.instagram.com/coastrangeradio/

In this episode, Ben and Simone discuss forest management plans in for the Blue Mountains in Eastern Oregon and the importance of community engagement in these plans. They also highlight the National Park Service's call for public feedback on visitor services and the challenges faced in maintaining park infrastructure. They focus on several case studies where the Park Service could improve the services available and recreation experiences in our parks.

High in the Blue Mountains, the road at Mount Victoria Pass twists steep and narrow through rock and mist. By day, it's breathtaking. But by night, it carries a darker reputation. Travelers whisper of a woman's ghost drifting through the fog. Her story etched into the stones of the pass nearly two centuries ago. This is the story of Caroline Collits. A child of the early colony whose short life was marked by hardship, betrayal, and violence. Her murder in 1842 shocked the settlement and left behind more than a legend, it left a haunting reminder of injustice that echoes into the present. In this episode, we explore the history, the haunting, and the legend of the ghost of Victoria Pass. Was Caroline just a tragic figure of the past, or does she still walk the road today?

Munanjahli and South Sea Islander woman, Professor Chelsea Watego speaks about her new book, Black Thoughts Matter: Essays on Black Love, Black Power, and Black Joy. In the following excerpt from this week's episode of Women on the Line, Chelsea speaks about Aboriginal women's voices and perspectives that are often missing from public discourse; the censorship and control of white women editors; and the power, the joy, and the importance of embracing rage. This conversation first aired on 3CR's Women on the Line on Monday 22 September 2025.// Tasnim Sammak, a Palestinian activist, academic, and organiser with Free Palestine Coalition Naarm, spoke at the Free Palestine rally on 21 September about nearing two years of the beginning of the genocidal assault on Gaza in the face of an imperialist colonialist advance that is going full speed ahead, with negotiations reaching no solution. On Sunday the 21st of September, various Palestine liberation groups rallied together for the 101st protest against Israel and Australia's complicity in the genocide since the onslaught began in October 2023. The rally drew particular attention to last year's ruling by the International Court of Justice that Israel's occupation of Palestine is illegal, and the United Nations demand for Israel to withdraw its military and settlers by 18 September this year. As the deadline came and went, the West Bank continues to be gripped by the expulsion of families, the terror of armed settlers, new waves of illegal settlement building, and repeated assaults on Al-Aqsa Mosque.// Toad is a permaculture designer, community organiser, co-founder of PermaQueer and former director of Permaculture Australia. Their work explores the intersection of permaculture, systems thinking and queer theory, looking at how we can design systems that care for people and planet in equitable ways. Toad speaks about everything permaculture, as well as PermaQueer's upcoming fundraising webseries called 'Permaculture is political'. Follow PermaQueer on Instagram at @perma.queer // Serena Joyner is CEO of Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action. Serena is an experienced community organiser and has been involved in organizations such as Resilient Blue Mountains, the Festival of Resilience and Macquarie Alliance for Climate. Serena lives in the Blue Mountains  and has witnessed the impact of loss and threat to her community from bushfires and climate change first hand. Serena speaks about the recent National Climate Risk Assessment released by the Australian government and the need for stronger net zero targets.// Jess Barrette is a Yarraville resident and member of Maribyrnong for Palestine. This diverse group—spanning different backgrounds and political views—has come together to voice ongoing support for Palestine and to ensure Australians hear the facts about life under occupation and the on-going genocide in Palestine. Jess speaks about her involvement in last week's sit-in protest in Fraser MP Daniel Mulino's office, why her group is advocating for the Australian Government to sanction Israel and the way that protestors are portrayed in mainstream media.

Rights, Rorts and Rants' Nick Franklin interviewed Tania De Bortoli from Blue Mountains Conservation Society on 19th September, 2025. Tanya concisely describes reasons for ConSoc's grave concerns about a 4-storey, high density housing development proposed for Narrow Neck Road, Katoomba NSW and the approval process that does not include local environment and control requirements. Information is sketchy on the project so ConSoc has done the hard work for this interview. With the approval process for this proposed development under the jurisdiction of the NSW Housing Delivery Authority (HDA) public opportunity to view environmental assessment reports and make submissions will only occur for a limited 14 or 28 days in March 2026. Campaign information will be available in a ConSoc pamphlet, the Blue Mountains Gazette and the Blue Mountains Conservation Society's website.

This episode of Earth Matters investigates the toxic legacy of waste on stolen Aboriginal land, from the radioactive scars of nuclear testing and uranium mining to the invisible spread of PFAS “forever chemicals” in our waterways. Drawing on stories from Maralinga, Kakadu, and the Blue Mountains, and with a personal reflection on Wreck Bay, the program explores how contamination doesn't just harm health—it severs cultural ties, disrupts food systems, and undermines sovereignty.Through a First Nations lens, we uncover the common thread running through these crises: governments and corporations treating Country as expendable, while communities are left to live with intergenerational impacts. Yet resistance remains strong, from Mirarr opposition to uranium mines, to Barngarla victories against nuclear dumps, to communities fighting for accountability on PFAS.Toxic Waste on Stolen Land is a call to recognise the colonial roots of environmental contamination and to stand with First Nations peoples demanding justice, protection of Country, and an end to sacrifice zones.

In regional Victoria, players and family members say the Aussie rules culture of going hard has a dark side that can be harmful.

Yowie Encounter in the Remote Australian WildernessIntroductionThe Kowmung and Coxs River region lies at the heart of some of Australia's most rugged, mountainous terrain. It is situated just below the southern side of the Blue Mountains. Characterized by high peaks and deep valleys, this untamed land provides an ideal habitat for a Yowie to remain hidden from humanity.The JourneyThree friends set out on a challenging 6 and a half hour mountain bike ride across unforgiving terrain, journeying to a remote location to fish for trout and camp far from civilization.Camping beside a running river can be unsettling—its constant sound often disguises other noises, whether familiar or unknown. The rushing water may imitate voices or footsteps, or completely mask them, heightening the sense of isolation.At this secluded site, the witnesses felt the presence of something unusual. According to their account, the nights felt particularly tense. Early mornings spent fishing were accompanied by strange sounds from the ridge above and an intense sensation of being watched—an experience frequently reported in areas with Yowie activity.The Yowie was seen on the side of the river, leaning over and cupping its hand to drink the water.Humans rarely run through dense thickets of thorns, leaving behind clumps of hair, nor do they possess the stamina to charge up mountains, outpacing three young athletes. The creature in question did not match the description of any known person: standing nearly 7 feet tall, weighing around 130 kg, covered with thick, matted hair up to three inches long, and possessing deep-set eye sockets.Lasting ImpressionThe memory of this encounter remains as vivid today as when it happened. According to many who have experienced similar events, a Yowie encounter is unforgettable—it leaves a lasting mark on those who witness it.For more comprehensive information, reports and history of the Yowie, visit our Website at www.yowiehunters.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/yowiehunters-witness-reports.

Tonight's guest, Kirk Brandenburg, is a Sasquatch investigator who is based in Washington State. Kirk does most of his investigating in the Cascade Mountains but occasionally heads over to the Olympics or North Central Washington to look for evidence. Kirk has been interested in Sasquatch for as long as he can remember but what really set the hook in him was a conversation he had with a coworker, at a work-related party. You see, at that party, one of Kirk's coworkers told him about a Sasquatch encounter he'd had. After listening to that coworker talk about his experience, Kirk had officially caught the Bigfoot bug. Never in his wildest dreams did Kirk ever think he'd go on to have his own experiences with Sasquatch but that's exactly what happened. He also never would have thought he'd be responsible for helping to develop a new technology for more effective thermal vision technology but that's exactly what he went on to do. On tonight's show, he's going to share some of his experiences with you and talk about that new thermal vision technology. We hope you'll tune in, so you can listen to him do that.Kirk has a YouTube channel called “Study Sasquatch.” If you'd like to check it out his Study Sasquatch YouTube Channel, which we hope you will, please visit…https://www.youtube.com/@studysasquatchHere's a link to part 1 of the New Mexico video Kirk mentioned…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XQmXqMqELMHere's a link to part 2 of the New Mexico video Kirk mentioned…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP4EbmWwfqUHere's a link to the Log Peeker Video Kirk mentioned filming in the Blue Mountains…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANf3UoovssMHere's a link to the video where Kirk, Doug Howe, and Boyd Omer went back to the North Cascades to revisit the place where Kirk had his sighting…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxgjgBV9YIEIf you've had a Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know.

Ness Hartge is just like you and I. An age group athlete, a busy mum, small business owner and runner. She's also someone who struggled to call herself an “ultra runner” despite having completed 3 x ultra distance events — and hoped she'd finally feel comfortable doing so once she finished her first 100km race at the Ultra Trail Australia 100km in the Blue Mountains outside Sydney in May 2017.Ness has openly shared on social media her struggle with the Imposter Complex. In this conversation we discuss the way the Imposter Complex has shown up in her life, the times it has caused her to doubt herself (including when applying for jobs) and the steps she took that enabled her to line up at the start of the Ultra Trail Australia 100km and know that, as an experienced ultra-runner, she deserved to be there.

In this episode, I recap some of my adventures I experienced on my recent family vacation to Australia, the land down under!  We traveled to Sydney, Australia, then to Cairns, Australia, and then wrapped it up at Katoomba, Australia.  We did several outdoor adventures and tours throughout our trip, seeing Kangaroos, wombats, wallabies, fruit bats (flying fox), crocodiles, and even the elusive platypus.

The Yowie Sightings of Wentworth Falls and Surrounding AreasIntroductionWentworth Falls lies at the heart of the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, perched above the sweeping Jamison Valley, adjacent to the Megalong Valley. Both valleys have a long history of reported Yowie encounters that span many years.Concentration of Sightings in Nearby TownsOn the upper slopes to the east of Wentworth Falls are the townships of Lawson, Hazelbrook, and Woodford. These towns record the highest concentration of Yowie sightings, likely due to their larger populations providing more opportunities for encounters and reports.Personal Experience in HazelbrookHazelbrook stands out as the place where I spent the most time with one particular Yowie, from whom I learned a great deal. This Yowie was the only friendly one I've ever interacted with; most encounters have been far less amiable.Kings Tablelands Road IncidentIn early 2003, we were contacted by a young man who had a close encounter with not one, but three Yowies late at night on Kings Tablelands Road in Wentworth Falls. This location, situated on the edge of an escarpment with cliffs nearly 200 metres high, has a notable history of sightings.Features of Kings Tablelands RoadAs you travel further along Kings Tablelands Road, the landscape becomes barren. The last building you see is an old, abandoned mental hospital. From there, the road turns to sandy dirt, with no houses in sight, growing ever more isolated as it ventures deeper into the forest. The surrounding wilderness is a vast network of creeks and valleys that seemingly never end.Solitude and Historical ConnectionsIt is a place where someone could live for years without seeing another human, should they choose such isolation. This area is also linked to countless historic Yowie sightings. For more comprehensive information, reports and history of the Yowie, visit our Website at www.yowiehunters.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/yowiehunters-witness-reports.

Encounters with Yowies in the Alpine Region of VictoriaLasting Impact of Yowie SightingsAnother reality-altering and life-changing Yowie encounter has left a profound effect on those who witnessed it. For many, the impact of seeing a Yowie stays with them for a lifetime, marking a significant event in their lives.The Alpine Region: A Remote Yowie HabitatThe Alpine region of Victoria stands as a vast, rugged terrain, largely unrepresented and sparsely populated. With fewer people inhabiting the area, there are naturally fewer opportunities for Yowie encounters, yet this does not mean there are fewer Yowies. In fact, it is possible that more Yowies inhabit the Victorian high country than the Blue Mountains, simply going unseen due to the lack of human presence. The region is even more expansive than the Blue Mountains and Wollemi National Park west of Sydney, but with far fewer residents.Yowie Sightings and BehaviourEpisodes have been recorded of past aggressive Yowie encounters, including incidents where humans were physically attacked while sleeping. Such reports contribute to the ongoing mystery and intrigue surrounding these creatures.Variation in AppearanceYowies are not always depicted as dark or brown creatures. Like the Yeti, Yowies can also be white. In some encounter reports, especially those from snowy elevations, the lighter colouration is noted. This variation in colour may be attributed to evolutionary factors associated with their environment.For more comprehensive information, reports and history of the Yowie, visit our Website at www.yowiehunters.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/yowiehunters-witness-reports.

What happens when a dyslexic woman who was told she'd "never be anything" becomes a trailblazing leader in disability inclusion? In this raw and powerful episode, Saraya O'Connell from Hotel Etico—Australia's first social enterprise hotel—opens up for the first time about her dyslexia, ADHD, and how she turned workplace struggles into superpowers. Saraya is the General Manager of Hotel Etico, a groundbreaking not-for-profit hotel in the Blue Mountains that trains and employs young adults with disabilities in hospitality. A dyslexic and ADHD leader, she's spent years masking her neurodivergence while advocating for systemic change in employment. Diagnosed with dyslexia at 15 (after teachers called her "stupid"), Saraya left school early, climbed the ranks in hospitality and disability sectors, and now champions inclusive hiring practices—all while navigating the invisible challenges of neurodiversity. In this episode, we discuss a range of significant topics, including: ● The emotional toll of educational trauma and being underestimated. ● Disclosure struggles: Why even disability sector leaders hide their dyslexia. ● Workplace strategies for dyslexia/ADHD (like handling forms and multi-step instructions). ● How Hotel Etico is revolutionizing hospitality inclusion—and why the industry is embracing it. ● The recent ADHD diagnosis that explained her "chaos superpower." ● Vulnerability in leadership: Why Saraya is finally going public with her story.

In part one, Ali and Matt speak to UTA miler athletes, Vlad Shatrov, Kellie Angel, and UTA22 guns Ben Duffus and Sara Levett at the first of the DCR live shows. Part two sees Matt head out onto the trails, with the 50km athletes, speaking to Sweep Manager and running legend Jane Trumper, adaptive athlete Mick Marshall, Father and Daughter duo Harry and Jess, and some Fairmont aid station action. We then head to Part 3, where we speak to some of the 50 and 100km runners. We try to crack Dan Jones' media training, we find out that a gorilla has no chance against 100 Caitlin Fielders, we sizzle in Beth McKenzie's laser focus, and dig into  2023 UTA100 winner George Murray's road to redemption in 2025.

The Swainson's Warbler is one of North America's shyest birds. These birds forage quietly on the ground, flipping over leaves to expose and capture insects. They scurry away, calling in alarm when big-footed humans invade their shadowy habitat. On their wintering grounds, in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, they're even harder to find, because they don't sing in winter. Swainson's Warblers do, however, respond aggressively to a recording of their own song. That's how ornithologists confirmed the presence of these elusive warblers, and discovered a vital connection between the two mountain forests, a thousand miles apart.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?
