I am in Broken Hill, New South Wales: the Silver City. Besides being a classic Australian mining town, it has been the location for some cult movies – including Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. The central set for the music was the marvellous Palace Hotel, whose co-owner is today's guest. Esther La Rovere has been telling me what makes Broken Hill so special.This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter. Sign up here to get it delivered to your inbox.

Największe katastrofy wywołane przez ołów – od australijskiego Broken Hill, przez Zambię i Nigerię, po amerykańskie Flint. Ostrzeżenia lekarzy i naukowców były ignorowane, a toksyczny metal trafiał do gleby, powietrza i wody pitnej. To historie zatrutych dzieci, społeczności pozostawionych bez ochrony i decyzji podejmowanych w imię zysku lub oszczędności. Historie, których większość wciąż trwa.Posłuchajcie najnowszego odcinka Podcastu Crazy Nauka!Zachęcamy też do posłuchania dwóch kolejnych cykli naszych podcastów, które tworzymy we współpracy z Polskim Radiem: 1) serii kryminalno-naukowej “Laboratorium zbrodni”:https://open.spotify.com/show/5Sw33l0P1o2vDOErG6VGL2?si=b3068c6d99a34dac2) serii dociekliwie analizującej “Sekcja teorii spiskowych”:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZTuUgCmeGG6cRigivWs3HvsZBIr2ZdRv Jeśli podobają Wam się nasze podcasty, rozważcie wsparcie nas na Patronite - dzięki Waszym wpłatom będziemy mogli utrzymać cotygodniowy rytm ukazywania się nowych odcinków: https://patronite.pl/crazynaukaJeśli wolisz jednorazowo postawić nam kawę, to super.

For years, Brendan Cullen was known around Broken Hill as the happy man who ran thousands of ewes across tens of thousands of hectares with a smile. What they didn't see was  the guy crying in a room by himself, drinking himself stupid, thinking he wasn't providing enough for his family.Brendan calls himself a ‘glorified shepherd'.He manages a sheep station outside Broken Hill, a part of the country he loves and knows like the back of his hand.But Brendan also has another moniker: ‘the desert swimmer'.A few years ago, he was floored by a cruel bout of depression, the core of which he later understood came from an experience of childhood sexual abuse that he never spoke about.While recovering, Brendan decided to try to swim the English Channel.As his swim coach Mike ‘the Tractor' told him: swimming the channel is straightforward – you get in the water at Dover and keep swimming until you hit something, and that something is France.The swim is just one of the tools in his 'toolkit' that he uses to stay mentally well and present with his family, and his flock.Desert Swimmer is written with Paul Mitchell and published by Allen & Unwin.Content warning: this episode of Conversations contains discussion of childhood sexual abuse.Help and support is always available. You can call or text Lifeline 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

Deeply shaped by Australia's outback, Adam Edwards approaches landscape photography with patience, resilience, and intention. The harsh, unpredictable environment of the outback has influenced not only how Adam photographs, but how he teaches—working creatively with imperfect conditions and finding meaning in every frame. Adam has committed himself fully to photography, spending years refining both his fieldcraft and post-processing to create images that feel authentic and personal. In 2025, he took a major step by opening a gallery in Broken Hill. More than a showcase for his work, the gallery serves as a creative hub—celebrating the region, fostering connection, and supporting a growing photographic community in the outback. In this conversation, Adam reflects on moving from passionate hobbyist to full-time professional, sharing stories of photographing extreme weather, managing a gallery, and embracing the realities of a creative business. He speaks openly about the importance of mindfulness, intentional image-making, and developing a personal style that reflects lived experience rather than trends. Teaching and mentoring now sit at the heart of Adam's practice. Through workshops and one-on-one guidance, he prioritises real feedback, human connection, and community—values he believes are increasingly vital in an online-driven world. For Adam, photography is about far more than the finished image; it's about process, place, and the people who shape the journey.   I hope you enjoy the show!

Episode 34 of Chunes Radio on Data Transmission The spot for House & Techno

From the age of 12 Les Craigie was a professional boxer. In our interview he compared an easily bruised apple with the delicacy of a pummelled human brain. At 21 he'd had enough of the risks, and for the next 25 years he worked deep underground in the Broken Hill silver-lead mines – to face different but equally real dangers.In 1948 Les climbed up out of the deep shafts and headed west, taking up his own silver-gold claim in the Barratta Ranges. From miner, he became a prospector. Oh sure, that still meant picking and blasting his way beneath the surface, but with more time up top to gaze and to wander, taking in the beauty of the trees, the wildflowers, and to breathe unpolluted fresh air.Twenty three years later, in 1970 when I interviewed him, Les Craigie was still his own man, content in the serenity.

Interview by Ali WilliamsStrap yourselves in, metalheads, because the legends in Mortal Sin are roaring back onto the scene, and they're not tiptoeing in—they're drop-kicking the door open and headbanging straight through it. HEAVY Mag's Ali Williams caught up with frontman Mat Maurer for a chat. It's been a minute (okay, a decade or so) since Mortal Sin hit the highways, but when Mat ran into Andy and Nathan at a Baby Animals gig, talk of the band's 40th anniversary snowballed into what's become the biggest tour in their history. They're talking nine shows up and down the East Coast, Froth and Fury Festival in Adelaide, a Perth date, and even more to come with Part 2 hitting North Queensland, Tasmania, and (possibly) New Zealand. Hell, there might even be a Broken Hill pitstop, just to prove they're covering every inch of Oz. And no, it's not just the “old die-hards” crawling out of their man-caves—Mat reckons even the grandkids are getting in on the action. “All the grandkids,” he laughs. “That's the cycle of heavy metal for you.” If you thought a mega-tour was enough, think again. Mortal Sin are celebrating with a special 40th anniversary vinyl reissue of their 1986 classic Mayhemic Destruction. But in true Mortal Sin style, there's a twist: the cover art is so secret, only the band has seen it. “We're even going to release it in a brown paper bag,” Mat teases. “You won't see it till you crack it open—and trust me, you're gonna lose your mind when you do.” Vinyl nerds, start queuing now—Mat's even promising a splatter-wax collector's edition.The guys are taking the mayhem global, with Germany's Keep It True Festival on the cards, a month of shows across Europe in August, and the calendar jammed so tight they're turning down offers from South America just to catch their breath. Locally, they'll be headlining Shredfest in Brisbane on May 2 at The Mansfield Tavern, with more Gold Coast and regional shows in the pipeline. If you're not planning on seeing Mortal Sin live in 2026, are you even trying? When HEAVY asked Mat for some of his most memorable highlights from decades of carnage, he rattles off support slots for Metallica's ...And Justice For All tour and opening the main stage at Wacken in front of 60,000 maniacs. Not bad for a band that's survived line up changes, pandemic boredom, and the rising cost of vinyl pressing (seriously, it's not cheap). And just so you know, Mat collects PEZ dispensers—1,500 of the little suckers—Ali confesses she's been hunting for the elusive Elvis model, and Mat says he's still yet to find one himself. Metal never dies, and apparently, neither does novelty candy. There's a lot of love in the air—between the band, their fans, and the sheer thrill of playing live again. There's are weird magic that happens when artists and fans meet face-to-face, sober (usually), and sweating it out at the front of the stage. “Playing is always a highlight,” Mat says. “You can't do that from your lounge chair.” Mortal Sin are back, bigger and rowdier than ever, serving up nostalgia with a side of fresh chaos. Don't sleep on this—unless you're too old to mosh, in which case, bring the grandkids and let them jump in the pit for you. Make sure you save the dates and find a local show for their 40th anniversary. Grab your tickets at www.churchesofsteel.com or hit up their Facebook page.

Nick Cater, a Senior Fellow at the Menzies Research Centre and a writer, discusses the challenges of renewable energy using the example of Broken Hill in Australia. He highlights the issues with relying on renewable energy without proper backup, the impracticality of solely using renewables for large-scale energy needs, and the political and economic implications. Cater also touches upon Australia's unique challenges with energy policy, migration, and the influence of new political parties.00:00 Introduction to Nick Cater09:42 The Teal Party and Climate Politics34:11 Shifting Focus: Greta Thunberg and Green Ambitions25:32 Nuclear Energy Debate in Australia49:50 Elon Musk's Innovations and Free Market Solutions51:16 Conclusion and Final Thoughtshttps://www.theaustralian.com.au/author/nick-caterhttps://nickcater.substack.com========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Since its inception in the early 1880s, Broken Hill has been a thriving mining boomtown. Its prosperity attracted able-bodied workers from across the region, quickly transforming the town into a bustling hub of activity. As its success grew, Broken Hill also became a key trading centre. Camel trains regularly passed through, using the town as a base along major inland trade routes. At the height of the camel train era, Broken Hill was home to two of the largest cameleer camps in Australia. Among those drawn to Broken Hill was a young man named Frank Bottrill, who arrived in the late 1880s to work in the mines. While there, he witnessed the struggles of camels burdened with heavy loads. Moved by compassion for the animals, Frank resolved to find a solution. His vision took shape in the form of a massive, innovative traction engine—armoured with metal plates and fitted with wheels reminiscent of modern military tanks. Join us this week as we explore the history of Broken Hill, the camel trains that once powered inland trade, and the remarkable young man who set out to make a difference.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Art Wank Podcast we chat with Sydney-based artist Gina Bruce, known for her haunting, dreamlike paintings that play between strength and subtlety. Gina works across a variety of media, often returning to the same places to capture their changing moods and connections to identity. Her works are bold in mark-making yet beautifully delicate in atmosphere, creating that unique balance she's become recognised for.We talk about her journey into art, including how she came to study at the National Art School and what drew her into painting in the first place. Gina shares insights into her process – starting with sketches and drawings – before approaching the canvas with quick, decisive marks that bring her ideas to life.The conversation also touches on her trip to Broken Hill. Gina talks about returning to favourite spots time and again, how place and memory become entwined, and why those themes continue to fascinate her.She has been selected for the Sulman Prize, the Portia Geach Memorial Award (twice Highly Commended), and the NSW Parliament Plein Air Painting Prize, to winning the Waverley Art Prize with her diptych Dreamhouse 2. Gina is represented by Liverpool St Gallery in Sydney. 

Yowie Encounter in Outback NSWJourney to the Opal MinesA Yowie witness accepted a close friend's invitation to travel to the far west of New South Wales to work in an opal mine. This remote experience was intended to provide solitude, aligning with a new spiritual journey.Unexpected Yowie SightingsYowies have a reputation for appearing in the most unlikely places. This episode offers another compelling example. Despite the region's arid environment—characterised by red earth, hard clay, and rocks rich in lead, zinc, and copper—Yowie sightings have been reported from locations such as Broken Hill, Tiboo'burra, Wan'aaring, Bourke, and even as far as Wilcannia, where footprints have been discovered.A Surprising EncounterAfter many years listening to Yowie encounters, I believed I had heard it all, but occasionally a story surfaces that defies expectations. In this case, our witness forgot to extinguish his campfire before going to bed. Remarkably, a Yowie arrived and put out the fire by urinating on it. Shortly after, strong winds swept through—winds that could easily have spread the flames. The question remains: did the Yowie sense the risk?Yowies and FireYowie interactions with fire are rare. Notable incidents include a sighting in Glenfield, NSW, where a Yowie sat beside a fire built by children, stretching its arms out to warm its hands. Another well-known figure is the Yowie called "Old Fire Hands" at Woy Woy.Just when we think we've heard every possible report, a new encounter emerges to challenge our assumptions. By now, it should be clear: with Yowies, we must always expect the unexpected.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.

Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss!Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today.Zefiro Methane Corp. (Cboe: ZEFI / OTCQB: ZEFIF)Zefiro continues to expand its role in environmental remediation with a new $522K contract in Morrow County, Ohio. Through its subsidiary Plants & Goodwin, the company will plug orphan wells near Columbus, marking its latest win in a year that's already seen 28 wells remediated and 23 more under contract. Backed by strong state support and a dual-revenue model including offset credit sales to Mercuria and EDF, Zefiro is positioning itself at the forefront of methane abatement and climate impact.Dryden Gold Corp. (TSXV: DRY)Dryden is making waves in Ontario's Dryden District with high-grade gold drill results from its Elora Gold System. Key intercepts include 15.30 g/t over 1.45m and visible gold in multiple zones, signaling that Dryden may be sitting on a much larger and more complex gold system than previously known. Backed by expert leadership and active drilling, Dryden is shaping up to be one of Ontario's most exciting exploration stories.ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU / OTCQB: ESAUF)ESGold's Montauban Project in Quebec is gaining academic validation as a potential Broken Hill–style polymetallic system. Two peer-reviewed university studies and deep seismic imaging to 1,200m confirm vertically stacked mineralized lenses—pointing to major discovery potential. ESGold is also advancing toward near-term cash flow through tailings reprocessing, setting the stage for a rare self-funded junior mining model focused on both revenue and exploration upside.NexGold Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXG / OTCQX: NXGCF)NexGold announced more exceptional drill results from its Goldboro Project in Nova Scotia, including 108.76 g/t over 1.40m and 67.23 g/t over 2.20m. With an updated Mineral Resource Estimate on the horizon and a strong gold market backdrop, NexGold is building momentum toward becoming a new mid-tier Canadian gold producer. The shallow, open-pit geometry and jurisdictional strength make this project a standout.Follow AGORACOM for more breaking small-cap news, interviews, and insights across our social platforms and podcast.

Wake in Fright (1961) is an Australian novel about a pushover Sydney city boy's experiences in Broken Hill-inspired Bundanyabba. Here, he loses all of his money gambling, is constantly drunk, knife fights kangaroos, tries to shoot himself, and much more. To help me gush over this sinister and very funny book, I enlisted the help of Matthew Sini and Matthew Fresta of the lovely Getting Lit podcast. For the second part of this conversation, where we talk about the 1971 film adaptation of Wake in Fright, check out the Getting Lit podcast.Getting Lit on X: @getting_lit_podSini on X: @teo_essFresta on X:@newfacenhell Getting Lit Patreon: patreon.com/GettingLitCoward Punch (Fresta's Rango Tango zino and some music): https://cowardpunchrecords.bandcamp.com/Sini's various projects: https://linktr.ee/matthewsiniVERY IMPORTANT INFORMATIONJack has published a novel called Tower!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Jack-BC-ebook/dp/B0CM5P9N9M/ref=monarch_sidesheetThe first nine chapters of Tower are available for free here: jackbc.substack.comOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHellJack's Substack: jackbc.substack.comLevi's website: www.levioutloud.comwww.thebookclubfromhell.comJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): discord.gg/ZMtDJ9HscrWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featuredX: @bookclubhell666Jack on X: @supersquat1Levi on X: @optimismlevi

In this very special episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast, we're taking you on a remote rural road trip to the famous outback community of Broken Hill. And we have a Golden Ticket to one of the region's premier events! From Priscilla, Queen of the Desert to Mad Max, the remote red dirt region made world-famous on the silver screen is known as outback Australia's 'city in the desert'. It is also home to the largest RFDS base in Australia - operated by the RFDS's South Eastern Section - and providing medical services across NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, southwest Queensland and Northern SA. As Australia's first ever heritage-listed city, and the longest continuous mining community, the remote far West NSW community of Broken Hill and surrounds is tight-knit, hard-working and resilient. And while the original RFDS base was first established back in 1936, the Broken Hill Women's Auxiliary was founded soon after that - with a mission to raise funds, education and awareness around remote and rural health services and the work of the RFDS...including via its celebrated annual Broken Hill Women's Auxiliary RFDS Ball!***Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

This week, we discuss the ongoing depression that is striking the Australian colonies. We also see strikes occur in Broken Hill, political changes galore, and true crime as we talk about the murders of Frederick Bailey Deeming.

When Melbourne-born Dave Rogers first caught the flying bug as a teenager, he wasn't even sure where a pilot's license might take him. But after honing his skills and flight hours as an instructor - and then spending three years flying small aircraft over (and onto!) the most remote and treacherous landscapes of Papua New Guinea - today Dave is a highly respected RFDS Senior Base Pilot at Broken Hill, NSW. But what does it actually take to become an emergency retrieval pilot and what happens when things don't exactly go to plan? On his very first day in Broken Hill, after applying for the RFDS pilot role during Covid, Dave was called to fly out to a devastating fire at the Tibooburra hotel, where a gas tank explosion caused the historic Two Storey Hotel to set alight, injuring four people. But this was just the beginning of Dave's incredible outback adventure...***Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

HIGHLIGHTSGeological Potential: Montauban shares key characteristics with Broken Hill, one of the world's most lucrative deposits, valued at over $100 billion in metals.Rhodonite Discovery: Recent sampling confirmed the presence of rhodonite, a mineral strongly associated with Broken Hill-type deposits, reinforcing the geological parallels between the two systems.Advanced Exploration: ESGold is using ambient noise tomography to scan depths up to 400 meters, revealing previously unexplored mineral-rich areas.Near-Term Production: Tailings production is set to begin in the next 6 months, generating cash flow without diluting shareholders. Year 1 revenue estimated at $23M based on current gold and silver prices.Strong Financial Projections: The PEA projects $106.9M in revenues from tailings, with potential upside reaching $315M over the next five years. A revised PEA is in progress.Fast Payback: The project is expected to pay back in just 0.9 years at $1,750 gold, underscoring its financial viability.ESGold Corp. ($ESAU / $ESAUF) is leading the charge with its modern approach to exploration and production. The company's use of cutting-edge technology potentially unlocks the full potential of Montauban, positioning it for both near-term revenue and long-term discovery upside.COMPANY INSIGHTS "For the first time, we are applying a disciplined, modern exploration approach to Montauban, similar to how Broken Hill was systematically uncovered," stated André Gauthier, Senior Geologist, ESGold. "This deposit shares many geological hallmarks with one of the most famous VMS deposits in the world. Our goal is to use modern technology to answer the key question—just how big is Montauban?""Broken Hill was not fully recognized until advanced exploration techniques were applied-this is the exact playbook we are following at Montauban," added Brad Kitchen, President of ESGold. "Our ANT survey will give us the first-ever deep visualization of the deposit, guiding our next drilling phase to unlock the true scale of this mineralized system."WHAT'S NEXT ESGold expects to finalize underground scan results within the next 4-6 weeks. These will provide critical insights into Montauban's mineralization, guiding the next phase of exploration. Drilling is set to begin within 6-9 months. With a rising gold market, a strategic Quebec location, and a self-funded approach, ESGold is poised for strong, sustained growth.

Shining light on wind energy's brightest innovators. This is the progress powering tomorrow.  Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast Spotlight. I'm your host, Allen Hall, along with my co host, Joel Saxum. Today, we're joined by Nicholas McVey, Service Director at GE Vernova, where he leads operations and maintenance for wind farms across Australia and New Zealand. With over 15 years of experience in operations and commercial leadership roles, Nicholas brings valuable insights on maximizing wind farm performance and implementing strategic upgrades. Prior to his current role, he served as Contract Performance Manager at GE Vernova and has extensive experience in project management and commercial operations. Nicholas, welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast Spotlight. We have a global audience that is listening to this episode for sure. And I would like to know, and I think a lot of people would like to know, what are some of the challenges you have in Australia in regards to turbines and O& M? Because it does seem like a relatively harsh environment. Nicholas McVey: Look, of course Australia is a harsh environment. We're very different environments. We've got and we call it down here the tyranny of distance. So we've got a lot of different got wind farms in a place called Broken Hill, which is, almost in the middle of Australia. Extremely hot, extremely dry, lots of dust, sand. A lot of challenges specific to that environment. We've also got a wind farm in in the snowy mountains, we've got, one of the things about Australia is that you've got every environment you can think of in the one place. From an environment perspective, it's harsh.  Joel Saxum: I know when I first heard actually Rosemary on the podcast, talk about going to the snowy mountains. I was like, there's not snow in Australia. What are you talking about? Cause from a American, I didn't think that. And then she's yeah, of course we, she's we have jungles, we have deserts, we have extreme heat, we have snow, we have cold, we have all these things. And of course, like you said, the size. So all of that from an O and M's perspective, because Nicholas, that's what you do every day. You're concentrated on. The operations and maintenance of GE's turbines within Australia. That creates Logistical nightmares. It also creates a lot of different problems, right? So if we're talking about the turbines that are out in the dust there, it doesn't matter what OEM it is. You're going to have leading edge erosion issues, and you're going to have different things that pop up based on that environment.  Allen Hall: So Nicholas, how big is the organization you run in Australia? Because I think the sense of scale would be helpful here. I know you're scattered all around Australia and Australia is a gigantic ...
