They were once a ubiquitous sight during springtime but bogong moths have become a rare sight over the last few years. Now, their dwindling numbers have earned them a spot as an endangered species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's 'red list'.

People often ponder the mysteries of this big ol' world and Google has become an avenue to find the answers to such conundrums. At the touch of a button, we have a library at our fingertips to make us more informed and educated about certain topics we find interesting and valuable. Telemark skiing is apparently one of such topics that have confused the brains of many, and this is evident when perusing the catalog of previously asked questions that Google has filed away ready for any curious and shy alpine skiers on a path of enlightenment.  In this episode, we go through some of the most commonly asked questions and see if our own knowledge of telemark skiing matches the internet mastermind of Google. 

Over the past two years, back-country skiing in Australia has been thrust into the limelight due to the global pandemic. Many feared the resorts would not open and began collecting essential items to start learning how to earn your turns in the Australian Alps. People are also curious to learn where it all began in Australia, and exactly how long have skiers been seeking the solace of the mountains. Unfortunately, some people are lamenting that back-country skiing is a relatively new prospect that has only been made accessible due to modern equipment available to us today. It has certainly made it more accessible, but we must acknowledge that skiers have been hiking up hills in Australia in search of snow for a long time. In this episode,  we talk about the early days of skiing in Australia, where it started, what they used, and where they went. We also share the story of Cleve Cole, an early skiing pioneer, that sadly lost his life after an ill-fated Hotham to Bogong crossing attempt. 

These are dark days for resort skiing in Australia. New South Wales and Victoria are both in lockdown and all ski resorts are closed. Events have been cancelled, lifties are getting the boot and Vail are extremely busy processing refunds for season passes that were little used. Will restrictions ease enough to allow resort skiing to return for harvesting September corn? Unfortunately, nobody knows what the future holds, but with cases continuing to pop up all over the countryside, it is looking increasingly harder to see restrictions being lifted. Thinking about the future is somewhat unnerving at the moment, so in this episode, Those Tele Guys contemplate the good times had in the past to get us through these rough times. We take a stroll down memory lane and have a laugh about some of our finer moments shared on telemark skis. Thinking about these memories sure made us smile, and hopefully, they provide a few laughs for those listening too. 

Ahhh, lockdown 5.0 is being enforced in the state of Victoria and our resorts have shut down. Needless to say, many snow-loving people are growing tired of this scenario that continues to plague our powder dreams. To top it off, the Australian Alps are getting absolutely hammered with pristine snow and could easily be the best lamb chowder for the season.  Nevertheless, we are all playing our part and staying home to avoid this disease from spreading. In this week's episode, we provide the listeners some details about the recent lockdown, but more importantly, we introduce a new segment called 'Australian Alps, this is your life.' This segment aims to share historical skiing information that influenced how we experience the mountains in the modern era. In the first installment, we discuss the Summit Hut, Mt. Bogong.  We also get a song for the Freeheelers from Morgs featuring a parody of 'Am I ever gonna see your face again?' by the angels.  Enjoy! 

Victoria's tallest summit is Mount Bogong, a place of dazzling beauty nestled in the Great Dividing Range on Yaithmathang country. Jonathan Green takes you on an icy journey up the mountain.

Who is the built world designed and made for? For the longest time (and possibly still) the answer was white, able-bodied men. London's Matrix Feminist Design Co-operative sought to change all of that, bringing feminist-centred architecture to the capital from the 1980s. Co-founder Jos Boys joins Blueprint, as London's Barbican mounts a retrospective of her collective.

PODCAST EPISODE 36: Pam Vroland from Silvan Estate Raspberry Farm, Victoria What is bulbous like a bee, but any number of pinks or reds or blues? What tastes like heaven, or maybe makes your face squish up with exhilarating tartness? What stains your fingertips, your tongue, and sometimes your t-shirt? What makes the best edible summer treasure hunt? What turns your smoothies fluorescent, is packed with antioxidants, and makes your cakes/breakfasts/desserts the most delightful little bundles of joy? Berries of course! As a lover of B-related gifts of nature, I am very happy to introduce you to the one and only “berry queen” for episode 36 of the BEES WITH BEN beekeeping podcast: Pam Vroland from Silvan Estate raspberry farm. For the past five years, some of my darling bees have called Pam's glorious berry farm home; she loves them, and they love her and her brightly coloured morsels of deliciousness. And my bees and I are not Pam's only fans. In fact, Pam and her farm have garnered huge and deserved attention from celebrity chefs, locals and media alike. In an article in The Age, Master Chef's Matt Preston declared that Silvan Estate produced “possibly the world's reigning raspberries”! And that's a big call (but one I am willing to stand by). Preston goes on to describe the many (food) sites where Pam's raspberries could be found, including a generous handful of sophisticated and delicious dishes from a number of highly acclaimed restaurants. It was he who brought attention to her reign as well-known and well-loved berry royalty. Pam has earnt this reputation through her intimate knowledge of the environment at Silvan and of the methods needed to grow such perfect and glorious fruits. She understands the climate, the soil, the impact of local wildlife, the compost needed, the CARE needed. She knows which berries get eaten strait from the bush, and which ones are made into jam. Pam loves of raspberries, and she knows each type like a dear friend – the Bogong, the Chilliwack, the Tulameen, and Serpell's Willamette (to name just a few). Tune in to hear Pam and I talk about the intricacies of growing berries in the gorgeous Yarra Valley.

While Clair Fisher was on a work trip to the Cayman Islands a couple years ago, she had to fly to Florida for an emergency surgery. She would soon learn that the cause of her pain was advanced cancer. Clair now spends her time focusing on how she can live and die well. As part of what she calls her retirement project, Clair is advocating for early intervention to hospice, the importance of work during a terminal illness, and breaking down the taboos of talking about death and dying. To learn more about Clair, you can also check out her blog: https://www.dyingwell.uk/ Music: “Cycles” and “Bogong” by Pictures of the Floating World

This week on the show we talk lockdowns, border closures, Epic Passes, and mountain rescues. Has the Victorian Government’s move to lock down Metropolitan Melbourne effectively crushed the hopes, dreams and business aspirations of Vail Resorts? Join us as we wildly speculate and attempt to shed some light on what is quickly becoming a dark winter.Disclaimer: We recorded this episode on Wednesday and then the news was announced that the resorts were closing on Thursday. We did not manage to get this episode out in time, but we hope you enjoy it regardless!

Traditionally, when the Bogong moth swarmed in the cool regions of Mount Bogong during summer, local tribes would gather to conduct ceremonies and feast on this protein-rich food source. We come together for a night of fearless truth-telling in honour of the Bogong and the centuries of tales exchanged under its wings. Hear six First Nations artists and activists reflect on the stories of blak activism in their lives. We celebrate blak resistance, defiance and fight in all its forms. With Nikayla Bamblett, Neil Morris, Tarneen Onus-Williams, Evelyn Araluen and Sermsah ‘Suri’ Bin Saad. Hosted by Laniyuk.
