01 June 2026 - Australia's premium cotton - driven by our unique growing environment - underpins RFM's expansion strategy in Central Queensland.

In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with the wonderful Peta Moore - wildlife lover, ultra runner, Perth Zoo vet nurse, trail adventurer, and fellow member of the 2026 Delirious West DNF crew. Peta's story starts in a small coal mining town in Central Queensland, where she definitely did not grow up thinking she was sporty. There was a bit of T-ball, some Highland dancing, a serious Muay Thai phase, and eventually a life built around animals, wildlife, conservation, and the odd capybara obsession. From wildlife biology to Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, bear rescue work in Vietnam, zookeeping in Alice Springs, and eventually Perth Zoo, Peta's life has been full of animals, adventure, and a very healthy amount of chaos. And then running arrived. What started as a Couch to 5K attempt on the trails around Alice Springs - complete with hills, heat, sunsets, and a dog by her side - slowly turned into trail running, ultra running, 100 milers, 200 milers, injury comebacks, big adventures, and a very deep love for the WA trail running community. We talk about Peta's first ultras, her love-hate relationship with backyard events, finishing her first 200 miler in the Blue Mountains, crying at aid stations, eating emergency Twisties for breakfast, getting through terrifying cliff sections with the help of “Spider Lady”, and the weird way ultra runners can suddenly find themselves saying things like, “There's only 80k to go!” Of course, we also talk about Delirious West 2026, where Peta went in with one of her best training blocks, a year of injury-free running behind her, and plenty of confidence - only to fall off a boardwalk just 3km into the race. From there, she managed pain, problem-solved, kept moving, questioned her sanity more than once, and eventually made the hard decision to stop at Treetop when the joy had gone and the risk felt too high. This conversation is honest, funny, emotional, and full of the real stuff that happens between start lines and finish lines - including the grief of a DNF, the fear of more injury, the pull of community, and the deep love that keeps bringing us back to the trails. Why You'll Love This Episode You'll hear about: Peta growing up in a tiny Central Queensland mining town Her path into wildlife biology, zoo medicine, and vet nursing Running in Alice Springs, Vietnam, Perth, Spain, the Blue Mountains and WA trails Her first trail events and how she got sucked into the ultra world Why the WA trail running community became her second family Her first 200 miler at Unreasonable in the Blue Mountains Sleep deprivation, aid station meltdowns, and emergency Twisties The injury rollercoaster: shoulder surgery, knee surgery, stress fractures and comebacks Her 2026 Delirious West 200 miler DNF Why stopping can sometimes be the strongest decision The strange grief that can come after a DNF Why running is still worth it, even when it breaks your heart a little Tips from Peta's Story 1. Community matters more than we realise. Peta talks beautifully about finding her people through trail running. When injury kept her from racing, she stayed connected by volunteering, crewing, cheering and showing up. 2. A DNF still contains a huge amount of courage. Peta's Delirious West didn't end the way she hoped, but she still pushed through a massive amount of pain, made smart decisions, and protected her future running. 3. Don't ignore pain just because you're tough. Ultra runners are excellent at tolerating discomfort - sometimes too excellent. Peta's story is a good reminder that pain is information, especially when there's a history of injury. 4. Cross-training can be a gift. During injury recovery, Peta discovered cycling and realised it made her stronger. Sometimes the thing we're forced into becomes part of the bigger picture. 5. Running will wait for you. One of the loveliest reminders from this episode is that if you need a break, running is still there. The trails are still there. The community is still there. 6. It's okay to grieve the race you didn't get to finish. A DNF can feel like losing the version of the story you'd been imagining. Peta speaks honestly about needing to process that. 7. Keep coming back - but come back wisely. Peta's story isn't about pretending everything is fine. It's about healing, rebuilding, adjusting, and still believing there are more adventures ahead.

Send us Fan MailG'day and welcome to the A Place to Call Home Podcast, a podcast sharing the stories of people building a life in agriculture across rural Australia.In this episode, I sit down with Tamara Finger, owner and manager of TF2 Grazing Company, a beef breeding operation recently relocated to Theodore in Central Queensland.Tamara shares a powerful and practical story of succession done differently — starting with being gifted cattle as a child, building her own herd from a young age, and stepping into property ownership in her early 20s.From growing up in Dysart to working across local government, retail, and federal politics, Tamara's journey highlights the importance of gaining experience off-farm, understanding business fundamentals, and staying open to opportunity.This is a conversation about taking ownership early, building assets over time, and backing yourself when the right opportunity comes along.In this episode, we chat about:

What does it actually take to walk away from the prescribed path? Not the Instagram version. The real version… where you're living in a horse float in someone's backyard with six dogs, watching your fiancé leave the morning after your wedding to go back to work, questioning every single decision you've made. That's Amie Penny's story. And it's one of the most honest, grounded, and quietly powerful conversations. Amie grew up in the suburbs of Sydney. No land, no farming background, no plan that ever included a pair of boots and a cattle herd. She landed her first job in the mailroom of an investment bank at 19, worked her way up, loved the hustle, and thought she was set. Then she took a two-week holiday to a family farm in Cowra, stepped out of the car… and never really went back. 22 years later, she and her husband Jason run a thriving civil earthmoving business in Central Queensland and built one the most technologically advanced premiumAngus herd operations in the country built entirely on sacrifice, grit, and a quiet inner voice she had the courage to finally listen to. We go deep into what the sacrificial season actually looked like, the years of no holidays, old cars, crappy houses, and grinding before the reward. The seven to eight months apart just after getting married. The childcare job in a small country town that replaced a corporate salary. The daily question of am I doing the right thing? that didn't stop after day one. This episode is for the woman who is quietly admitting to herself that the path she's on is weighing heavy and the dream she actually wants is buried beneath the shoulds, the musts, and the commitments she's honouring for everyone but herself.   In this episode, we cover: How a two-week holiday changed the entire trajectory of Amie's life The difference between the loud voice (what you should do) and the quiet voice (what you must do) and how to tune into the right one Why the sacrificial season is non-negotiable and why most people aren't willing to go through it Living in a horse float, skipping honeymoons, and what it really costs to build something from nothing Building a business and a marriage with your partner the real strain, and the real strength it creates What sovereignty over your mind, money, and mission actually looks and feels like when you've done the work The first mental domino every woman needs to knock over to start moving toward the life she actually wants   Women to Wealth exists for women who are ready to stop outsourcing their sovereignty. If this episode resonated, share it with the woman in your world who needs to hear it.

Most farming families see their accountant once a year — usually in a panic around the 30th of June. The families who are genuinely building something that lasts across generations? They're doing something fundamentally different. And it has very little to do with tax minimisation.In this episode of the AgriCoach Wealth & Wisdom Podcast, Ben Law sits down with Sarah Becker — Director of Becker & Co QLD, Chartered Accountant, Trusted Rural Business Advisor, and Central Queensland beef producer — for a conversation that cuts through the noise around what it actually takes to build a rural family business that goes the distance.Sarah is one of those rare professionals who lives both sides of the fence. She runs a multi-generational accounting practice her family founded 40 years ago, and alongside her husband Rob, she's raising the next generation on 16,000 acres in the Dawson Valley. When she talks about intergenerational wealth, succession, and the role of a trusted advisor, she's not speaking theoretically.What separates the families who thrive over decades from those who stall? Sarah has a clear answer — and it's not what most people expect. She and Ben pull apart the difference between having a dream and having a plan, why the most important financial conversations rural families need to have are rarely happening, and what it really means for your advisor team to be "on the bus."They also tackle some of the harder questions that come with building wealth on the land: what's the actual cost of leaving the next generation out of the conversation? Why do so many high-performing producers treat strategic planning like it's optional? And what does a healthy, productive rhythm with your accountant actually look like throughout the year — not just when June rolls around?Sarah shares a framework for thinking about profit allocation that goes well beyond reinvesting back into the business, andIf this podcast has ever added value to your farming business, we'd love for you to leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.https://pod.link/1598835360  The High Performing Families Roadmap Workshop — 26th & 27th August 2026, Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast.

Send us Fan MailG'day and welcome to the A Place to Call Home Podcast, a podcast sharing the stories of people building a life in agriculture across rural Australia.In this episode, I sit down with Lindsay Barlow from Triple B Brangus, based in Dingo, Central Queensland.Lindsay and his family have built a highly regarded Brangus stud from the ground up, producing bulls for both southern and northern markets, while navigating one of the most important and often challenging parts of agriculture — succession.Lindsay's story starts far from where he is today, growing up on a pineapple farm on the Capricorn Coast before eventually finding his way back to cattle after a period of uncertainty post-school. What followed was decades of building, learning, and working through a long and complex succession journey within a family business. This conversation dives deep into what it really takes to build a seedstock operation, the realities of succession, and the mindset required to create a sustainable future in agriculture.In this episode, we chat about:

In this episode of The Money Mentor, Ashley and Theresa share how they broke free from the financial “hamster wheel” despite earning solid incomes in Central Queensland. With Ash working FIFO and Theresa in administration, they were doing all the right things on paper, yet making no real progress. A major health scare became the wake-up call that pushed them to seek a clearer, long-term strategy beyond surface-level budgeting tools. After discovering Infinity, everything changed. With structured planning, practical tools, and strong community support, they dramatically accelerated their mortgage reduction and reshaped their lifestyle. The transformation extended beyond money, with improved health, confidence, and future vision, including more time together, travel plans, and building generational security. Their story highlights how clarity, accountability, and the right framework can unlock momentum where effort alone never could.

Nikki's also a qualified tattoo artist, has her new podcast coming out shortly, and makes regular appearances on the viral YouTube channel The OG Crew.Fresh off her solo comedy tour through Central Queensland, it was an absolute laugh having her on the podcast.

O programa que foi ao ar ao vivo em rede nacional pela rádio SBS 2. O noticiário do dia. Conversamos com Arthur Pera, o brasileiro que participou da aventura de slackline em Central Queensland e que está produzindo um documentário sobre a empreitada ao lado de um líder indígena local.

Conversamos com o alpinista industrial Arthur Pera, de Wollongong (NSW). Ele foi um dos organizadores da empreitada que montou um highline, a modalidade mais extrema do esporte, que liga duas montanhas por uma fita a centenas de metros de altura. O grupo se organizou para apoiar a causa de um guia local do povo Wangan Jagalingou, que luta para manter uma nascente sagrada longe da mineradora que atua região. O projeto vai virar um documentário.

For some years, there have been suggestions that in the 1860s Tom Wills, Australia's first sports hero and the founder of the AFL, may have taken part in the massacres of Gayiri people in Central Queensland. Now, in a Guardian Australia investigation, Indigenous Affairs reporter Ella Archibald-Binge travels in search of the truth behind the allegations. In this two part special Full Story, she and Lorena Allam from UTS's Jumbunna Institute discuss how families on both sides of the conflict are reckoning with the truth of their ancestors' colonial past Warning: This episode contains historical records that use racist and offensive language, and descriptions of events that will be distressing to some.

Le lien entre sexualité et sommeil fascine autant qu'il interroge. Beaucoup de personnes rapportent mieux dormir après un rapport sexuel, mais que dit réellement la science ? Est-ce un simple ressenti ou un véritable phénomène physiologique ?De plus en plus d'études tendent à confirmer que l'activité sexuelle, et en particulier l'orgasme, peut favoriser un meilleur sommeil, parfois de façon comparable, voire supérieure, à certains somnifères légers.Lors d'un rapport sexuel, plusieurs mécanismes physiologiques se mettent en place. Pendant l'orgasme, le cerveau libère un cocktail de neurohormones : ocytocine (hormone de l'attachement et de la détente), prolactine (associée à la sensation de satiété sexuelle et à la somnolence), ainsi qu'une diminution du taux de cortisol, l'hormone du stress. Cette combinaison favorise naturellement un état de relaxation propice à l'endormissement.Une étude australienne de 2019, menée par le Dr Michele Lastella de l'Université de Central Queensland, a exploré ce phénomène. L'équipe a interrogé 460 adultes : 64 % des participants déclaraient qu'après un rapport sexuel avec orgasme, leur qualité de sommeil s'améliorait nettement. L'effet était encore plus marqué chez les couples ayant une vie sexuelle régulière.Plus récemment, une étude publiée en 2022 dans Frontiers in Public Health a montré, à partir de mesures objectives (actimétrie et questionnaires), que les participants ayant eu une activité sexuelle avec orgasme s'endormaient en moyenne 15 à 20 minutes plus rapidement, et bénéficiaient d'un sommeil plus profond, comparé aux nuits sans activité sexuelle.Faut-il en conclure que l'orgasme est plus thérapeutique que les médicaments ? Il convient de nuancer. Si l'effet apaisant de l'activité sexuelle est réel, il ne remplace pas un traitement médical adapté en cas d'insomnie chronique sévère. Toutefois, pour les troubles du sommeil légers ou modérés liés au stress ou à l'anxiété, il peut représenter une approche naturelle, sans effets secondaires.Autre point intéressant : cet effet bénéfique s'observe aussi bien après des rapports sexuels en couple qu'après la masturbation, selon une étude de 2016 par Brody et Krüger, publiée dans Sleep and Biological Rhythms. Cela confirme que c'est bien le relâchement neuro-hormonal lié à l'orgasme qui agit.En résumé, l'activité sexuelle — avec orgasme — constitue un véritable levier naturel pour favoriser un sommeil de qualité. Sans se substituer aux traitements médicaux en cas de pathologies, elle offre une stratégie complémentaire, agréable et accessible, pour favoriser l'endormissement et améliorer la récupération nocturne.

Anna's stellar cycling career saw her smash Australian Olympic records and become the World Champion 11 times. Then to the surprise of many, she walked away from cycling for good, returning to the world stage as Australia's Chef de Mission for Paris 2024 (R)

Producer and editor of the show, massive nerd and the guy with the iron chin, Quinn Jackson, jumps across his desk and joins the boys on the couch to get interviewed for his guest episode. Quinn takes us through his childhood, growing up in the country town of Howlong, being an introverted child and going against the grain of rural living by being invested in an academic path instead of a sporting one. Quinn takes us through the transitional period of moving to Central Queensland to go to high school, being on the debating team and then getting his foot in the door in the hospitality scene after school, leading to experiences such as working in Mount Isa during the rodeo and witnessing Fred Brophy's for the first time. Quinn runs us through the lows he's experienced as well, including battling with the loss of a best mate and what it taught him to then the rollercoaster that was sending the email to Tom and Cam for the job. To wrap up, we cover the original call out that sparked the Podcast Royale, some of Quinn's media interests, starting a 3D printing business with his best mate and wrap up with a couple of ripper yarns from his life before sending it into the guest questions.

In 2021 the Callide C Power Station experienced a unit failure that tore the turbine-generator apart, resulted in hundreds of thousands of premises losing power, and cost hundreds of millions to repair.

As stated it could not connect to the Unit C4 415V Emergency Board and it remained dead, however as there was DC power in the Station section, it was powering the Station Emergency Board and was therefore running under some, minimal load. The Bus Tie between the Station 415V Emergency Board to the Unit C4 Emergency Board was left open when cross-feeding was possible. Additionally the DC Lube Oil and Generator Seal Oil Pumps were not specified if they were connected to the Main or Distribution DC Bus. If connected to the Main Bus, the ACS change-over would not have re-energised them, although reclosing the interconnector, or closing the battery breaker would have.
