In this episode of The Property Nerds, hosts Arjun Paliwal and Jack Fouracre are joined by investor Vignesh Rajashekar to discuss building a growing property portfolio before the age of 30. Rajashekar shares how his financial mindset was shaped by his father, a first-generation immigrant who emphasised saving, discipline, and long-term thinking. At just 23, he began exploring property investment instead of lifestyle spending, choosing to prioritise assets over depreciating purchases. His first purchase was a $470,000 house in Adelaide in 2021, which has since appreciated significantly, demonstrating the potential of well-researched interstate investing. The episode also explores the psychological shift required to move from saving cash to managing larger levels of debt tied to property investment. After building equity in his first property, Rajashekar leveraged it to purchase another investment in Bundaberg in 2023, accelerating the growth of his portfolio. He highlights the importance of surrounding yourself with a trusted team of advisers and relying on data-driven insights when investing in unfamiliar markets. Overall, the discussion underscores how starting early, maintaining discipline, and focusing on long-term opportunity costs can help young Australians build wealth through property.

We had a wide-ranging conversation, and he shares how he realised he had to utilize his gifts, he tells us about the dooligarls that visit him on his property and their messages to us, his interactions with spirits and entities both good and bad, to what to do when there's a negative spirit around, why not to fear death, black panthers and so much more!

In this episode of The Property Nerds, host Arjun Paliwal from InvestorKit speaks with Ryan and Lauren, a couple from Darwin, about how they've strategically built a $4.5 million property portfolio across five properties in three states by the age of 30. The conversation explores how their investment journey began in 2017, with both recognising that leaving their savings in the bank wouldn't secure long-term financial freedom. A pivotal part of their strategy was engaging a professional buyer's agency, which helped them make data-driven decisions and confidently navigate the property market. Their portfolio spans both capital city and regional markets, including Brisbane, Bundaberg, and Ballarat, with early wins providing confidence to pursue less conventional opportunities. Even less successful investments offered valuable lessons, helping them refine their approach and supporting family members in property ownership. Money management and disciplined financial habits have been central to their success, including maximising offset accounts and using credit cards strategically. Ryan and Lauren also share how clear planning, research, and sticking to budget boundaries enable them to continue expanding their portfolio.

Timestamps - (10:45) Moms Who Murder A study by Brown University showed that from 1976 to 2007, on average, there were 500 cases of filicide a year in the United States. Filicide is the deliberate act of a parent killing their own child. Police were called to a home in Florida on May 30, 2025 for a welfare check on Ra'myl Pierre. School officials were worried about his absence. When authorities arrived at the home, they found Ra'Myl's mother, Rhonda Paulynice, acting ‘oddly'. Ra'myl was found dead and wrapped in a blanket in the house. It is alleged that Rhonda killed her son in an attempt to exorcise him of evil spirits. On May 26, 2025, neighbors in Bundaberg, Queensland in Australia called police after they allegedly witnessed Lauren Flanigan in the front yard with her deceased daughter, Sophia. Lauren is alleged to have stabbed her daughter to death. She was taken into custody. Lauren suffered a ‘medical emergency' in her cell and was taken to hospital where she passed away on 1 June, 2025. A full investigation into her death has commenced.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman sits down with Nick Voegt, director of Smash Property, to discuss how investors can build a multimillion-dollar property portfolio. Nick's property investment journey began while working in banking, where he saw real estate as an escape from the corporate grind. Following his first profitable investment in Brisbane, when the market was affordable, he expanded his portfolio by leveraging equity while maintaining his full-time job to support his strategy and regularly consulting brokers to increase borrowing capacity. Initially focused on owning 10 properties, Nick shifted his strategy to develop portfolio value and yield to generate passive income. Nick encourages investors to start their journey at any age and advises them to do their due diligence and focus on affordable markets with strong fundamentals, such as Gladstone and Bundaberg.

Ladies first! Daher haben wir uns nach Ankunft in der Nähe von Bundaberg zuerst auf den Weg zur vielleicht schönsten kleinen Insel des Great Barrier Riffs gemacht. Inmitten der türkisblauen See, umrahmt von einem schillernden Korallenriff liegt diese Perle mit der erstaunlichsten Natur auf kleinster Fläche. Aber Natur ist auch Kampf. Vögelmordende Bäume und giftige Tausenfüssler gibts hier auch. Wir hatten es glücklicherweise nur mit wundervollen Tieren zu tun. Schwimmen mit Schildkröten und bunten Fischen, spazieren an Känguruhs vorbei, und Wäsche waschen mit einem Kusu. (Achtung Cuteness-Alarm!) Ob wir wirklich starken Wellengang vertragen, was ein kulinarisches Zentrum auch sein kann und wie Franca es geschafft hat, die Angst vor Schnorcheln zu überwinden, erfahrt ihr in diesem kleinen Update.

I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Lacey Morrison but I've been long aware of her notable achievements. This resilient 40 year old has had a diversified career in the racing industry as a jockey, a trainer and a two year stint as a member of the Darling Downs steward's panel. Lacey's comeback from injury in 2021 has far exceeded her expectations. In the recently concluded 2023/2024 season she rode 101 winners to finish fourth on the Queensland jockey's premiership ladder. She also happens to be the doting mother of nine year old Buddy. Lacey Morrison says she's happiest when busy. The jockey talks about her good start to the new season and a recent Cluden Park treble. Lacey says she was elated to top the century of winners last season. She looks back on a quartet of wins at Townsville late in the season and her all time top score of five at a Cairns meeting. The Cairns Amateur Cup is actually a prestigious professional event run in September. Lacey talks about her recent win on Cashin' Chex. The busy jockey talks about life in Tolga on the tablelands south west of Cairns. She takes us through the racing circuit she supports week to week. Lacey says it takes the offer of a very good ride to get her as far away as Mackay. The talented jockey looks back at childhood days at Taroom and Springsure when riding horses was a way of life. She talks of an original apprenticeship to her father John followed by her transfer to Toowoomba trainer Russell Kirwin. Lacey recalls her uneventful debut at Springsure and that thrilling first win at Bundaberg for the Gollan stable. She says Proudly Agro was the first nice horse she got to ride. She won a metro Gr 3 on the horse. The true blue Queenslander looks back on a very successful apprenticeship with special mention of a mare called Charlotte Sound who provided her 60th metropolitan win and the end of her claiming days. In 2003 a burgeoning reputation saw Lacey invited to spend three months with Sydney trainer Clarry Conners. Despite a battle with homesickness she won a handful of races including one memorable Randwick victory on Sadarar for trainer Paul Cave. Lacey was pretty chuffed when offered a ride in the Ramornie Hcp at Grafton in 2006. She was even more chuffed when For Valour stormed home to win the historic sprint. She pays tribute to Legal Brief who gave her a prestigious Cups double in Queensland. Lacey remembers the horrific four horse fall at Ipswich which sidelined her for ten months. This was the time she decided to try her hand as a steward. She talks of her successful comeback and the disappointment of a second Ipswich fall in 2013. Lacey got over that one fairly quickly but wasn't keen to return to race riding. She decided to accept an offer to take over the stables of Toowoomba trainer John Dann. She enjoyed her time as a professional trainer. She talks of son Buddy's premature arrival in 2015. Lacey was working for a local produce store when asked to ride some trackwork by Tolga trainer and good friend Sharlee Hoffman. Predictably the bug bit again. When she decided to don the silks again in 2021 stewards demanded a rigorous barrier trial schedule. Lacey's versatility knows no bounds. She's currently juggling her many race riding commitments with an online Tafe nursing course. This will be her long term future. She says when it comes to her eventual retirement from race riding, partner Taron leaves it entirely up to her. Great to catch up at last with a multi talented Queensland racing achiever.

A ripper of a show this week, next merch drop is announced off the bat and Cam is back and has some absolute cracking yarns from his time away on the Bundaberg flats. We question how hard it would be to prove you're the bloke in a teletubby costume, which leads us to some jobs that would be incredibly hard to prove you do to a random. Cooking With Daddy absolutely firing (literally), and a ripper news segment: Neuralink is here, Crocodiles breaking concrete and B-B-BIG news on the Alien front, the death star is in the solar system. Some great chat between us all for motivation and then we wrap up with some classics from the trendsetters and three yarns from the Doghouse, with one being proper pound worthy. Was great to catch up as a team and get you guys ready for your week.

Brought to you by Bundaberg: ginger beer that won’t blow your back out. It’s AAPI history month, probably.
One of the finest films having its Australian premiere at the festival is Jaydon Martin's stunning feature debut film Flathead. This fiction-documentary hybrid film follows Cass Cumerford, a bloke near the end of his days who returns to Bundaberg, the region he grew up. Swaying into the town, he finds consolation and support with various religious sects that have sprung up in the land before he flows into the life of Andrew, a Chinese-Australian fish and chip shop owner who is dealing with his own understanding of mortality.Flathead follows these real figures as they're nudged along a partly-fictional narrative, and as the film plays with a sublime black and white presentation, it sways into a dreamlike state, providing a highly affecting story about modern Australia.It's that notion of what a modern Australia is that drives the following conversation with Jaydon, who took four years to make the film and had to leave Australia to realise what it was that he needed to make. Flitting into some of the scenes, and delivering a closing duet with Cass, is fellow filmmaker Brodie Poole, a documentarian in his own right who has also essayed what modern Australia looks like on screen with his documentary General Hercules. Both Brodie and Jaydon are engaging in an essential conversation right now about Australian identity and culture, and in doing so, they're also reasserting the notion of who gets to tell stories on screen in this place we call Australia.Flathead is an experience like no other, and my words here barely scrape the thematic text of the film, nor do they do justice to what Jaydon is putting forward as a filmmaker. As a nation, there is a shortage of filmmakers who operate in the realm of social realism, and I'm hoping beyond hope that Jaydon continues down this path. If so, then we will be richly rewarded as his body of work builds over the years.For now, do what you can to see Flathead. It's one of the finest Australian films of the year.It screens on 12 June and 15 June at the Sydney Film Festival. For tickets, visit sff.org.au. Hosted on Acast.

“I think we live in a world people are too, quick to throw stones throw sticks and point fingers. None of us are perfect. I certainly am not. I'm a very temperamental reactive sort of person. So, I have perfected the art of saying I'm sorry. So, I think it's really important that if you're doing something in the world, and you think, Oh, that wasn't very kind, or I could have spoken to that person in a better way, don't be afraid to go out and just say, Look, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to speak to you like that. Also forgive the people around you, they might have been under pressure they might have you don't know what's going on for other people.” Christine Denny Top Five Tips For Cultivating Joy In Your Life and Harnessing The Power It Brings1.

In our last episode of season 20, we chat with Scott who shares his spine-chilling encounter with a Yowie in Moorpark Beach, near Bundaberg, Queensland, in September 2022. Initially moving to escape city life, Scott's routine fishing trip turned into a night of terror when he encountered what he initially mistook for a bear, an absurd thought in Australia, at dawn. This creature, walking on all fours before standing upright at over three meters tall, exhibited both bear and orangutan-like features but with a human-like gaze.This silent, menacing figure, after making direct eye contact with Scott and emitting a blood-curdling screech, darted away with incredible speed and grace. Scott details his subsequent obsession with understanding what he saw, touching on the regional folklore around Yowies or Bunyips, as well as his isolation and determination to find others with similar experiences. His encounter brings forward discussions about the existence of such creatures, the impact of witnessing something so paradigm-shifting, and a shared moment of validation and camaraderie among those who have experienced the unexplainable.00:45 The Unforgettable Morning of the Encounter03:37 The Terrifying Moment of Realization08:26 The Aftermath: Searching for Answers09:09 Finding Validation in Local Folklore17:43 Reflecting on the Encounter and Its Impact22:03 The Possibility of Other EncountersHave a short story?

TJ takes us back to the late 1970's and early 80's to the great Queensland beer strike which resulted in them all having to drink these rubbish beers from elsewhere all over the country. Following that they even had the rum strike where they couldn't get Bundaberg rum either. Strap in for some wild yarns and throw backs to a simpler time full of wild adventures! Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we dive into a thought-provoking journey of what could happen if humanity had to restart on Earth after different timeframes due to a complete extinction event. Imagine waking up as a clone with no prior knowledge of the world, or as a human re-seeded by aliens or from other human colonies. We explore scenarios spanning 100 years to 10,000 years, each presenting unique challenges and opportunities for rebuilding civilization. From the survival of concrete structures and the resilience of certain animals and plants to the rediscovery of lost technology and the potential misinterpretation of our current day objects as ancient artifacts, this episode navigates the fascinating concept of repopulating Earth. Tune in to unravel the complexities of starting from scratch, the impact of time on the remnants of human civilization, and how future generations might interpret the artifacts left behind by us. This imaginative exploration, inspired by a listener named Aurie from Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia, promises to spark curiosity and wonder about the resilience and adaptability of humanity and the legacy we leave behind.
