The 11th annual I Wish Showcase, held today at the RDS in Dublin, saw 4,000 female students gather to be inspired to pursue a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Maths (STEM). Today's event - the largest I Wish Showcase to date - was officially opened by Taoiseach, Micheál Martin. Speaking ahead of the event, the Taoiseach said: "I'm delighted to attend today's event, with 4,000 brilliant young minds gathering under one roof, ready to reimagine the world through STEM. I Wish proves that with opportunity, role models and determination, there are no limits to what girls can achieve - breaking barriers, shattering stereotypes, and building a brighter, more inclusive future for all." With 45% of girls citing a lack of access to female role models as a barrier to STEM careers according to a recent I Wish survey, 46 speakers engaged directly with students at the all-island event, showcasing the power of visible role models in shaping aspirations and breaking barriers. Among them were Olympic sprint star Phil Healy; Olympic rower Zoe Hyde; Olympic relay star and Deloitte's Strategic Project Lead, Claire Dunne (née Bergin); and international rally driver Aoife Rafferty, who shared their journeys of perseverance, ambition and success. This year's event also features the largest-ever exhibition hall, with over 30 exhibitors from leading Irish and global companies and organisations showcasing exciting STEM career opportunities. Highlights included the Sport Innovation Hub in collaboration with Sport Ireland's HER Moves campaign, where students explored how technology is transforming sports through interactive activities like rowing machines, reaction boards and jersey design stations. The Food Science Hub, led by Carbery, Kerry Group and Dawn Meats, demonstrated STEM's impact on the food industry with machine learning tools, cheese-making tasks and problem-solving games. Engineering and construction activities range from a Giant Jenga game with Jones Engineering to mini-golf with Regeneron, alongside insights from companies such as Sisk, Crown and Dornan on the evolution of careers in construction. Students also discovered the role of STEM in business and innovation with IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland. Adding to the excitement, the Podcast Hub, in collaboration with Virgin Media, allowed students to record live podcasts, with a select few invited to visit the studio post-event to record their own. I Wish co-founder Caroline O'Driscoll highlighted the significance of providing access to inspiring role models, stating: "The findings from our most recent annual survey report make it clear that while progress has been made, systemic barriers persist, preventing too many young girls from seeing STEM as a viable career path. Collectively, we must give real choices to girls and ensure that they have every opportunity to take their place in the economies of tomorrow. "At our Showcase, over 4,000 teenage girls get the opportunity to listen to the lived journeys of some amazing female trailblazers. This in turn allows them to see what a career in STEM is truly like, understand the variety of careers and pathways available and the positive impact that STEM has on our world." I Wish, a multi-award-winning programme showcasing the power of STEM to female students in Ireland and across the globe, has held its renowned annual Showcase since 2015, engaging with over 65,000 students in this time, hosting over 1,000 speakers, and partnering with over 130 industry leaders. I Wish co-founder, Gillian Keating extended her thanks to the leaders in STEM from pharmaceutical, technology, food, sports and engineering sectors taking part in the event: "Each year it is magical to watch the ambitions of young girls from across the country expanding in front of our very eyes as they take in all that they can be through careers in STEM. We're so grateful to our partners, both multinational and indigenous, who take part in the showcase demonstrating t...

Several female Olympians and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) graduates will lead an extraordinary lineup of speakers at the largest-ever 11th annual I Wish Showcase, taking place on 6 February at the RDS, Dublin. Olympic sprint star Phil Healy will be joined at the Showcase by rower Zoe Hyde, who also competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Claire Dunne, a member of the 4x400m relay squad at the London 2012 Olympic Games and now Head of Social Impact at Deloitte, will also speak. Together, they will inspire over 4,000 female teenage students from across the island to consider STEM careers, highlighting how advancements in STEM innovation drive success in sports and beyond. I Wish, a community committed to showcasing the power of STEM to teenage girls, has held its renowned annual Showcase - with inspirational speakers, interactive exhibitions and workshops - since 2015, engaging with over 62,000 students in this time, hosting over 1,000 speakers, and partnering with over 130 industry leaders. Registration is still open at iwish.ie/register. Speaking ahead of the event, Phil Healy said: "STEM drives innovation on and off the track. From the engineering of high-performance running shoes and the physics behind optimal sprinting techniques to the data analytics fine-tuning training plans, STEM is a part of my daily life as an athlete. I'm thrilled to share my journey and show how women in STEM are revolutionising every facet of sports. The I Wish Showcase is an incredible opportunity for young girls to see the endless possibilities available to them." TV host Sinead Kennedy, returning MC, will guide the event's programme, with more speakers to be announced in the coming weeks. There will be over 30 exhibitors, including key partners Deloitte, Dell Technologies, Merck, Virgin Media, Sport Ireland Her Moves Campaign, Johnson & Johnson, Regeneron, Qualcomm and more. I Wish co-founder Caroline O'Driscoll said: "The findings from our most recent annual survey report make it clear that while progress has been made, systemic barriers persist, preventing too many young girls from seeing STEM as a viable career path. Role models like Phil, Claire and Zoe are crucial in shifting this narrative. By showcasing women who have broken through these barriers, the I Wish Showcase provides tangible examples of success in STEM and empowers them to imagine their future in these industries. This is how we inspire change - by showing young girls the endless possibilities available to them." The 2025 I Wish Showcase will feature a new Sport Innovation Hub where attendees can explore how advancements in technology are revolutionising performance, training and competition. Additionally, the event will debut a Food Science Hub, offering a glimpse into how STEM is reshaping what we eat and how it's made. Other innovative hubs dedicated to construction, entrepreneurship and emerging STEM fields will showcase the latest breakthroughs shaping these industries. This year's event features ongoing transport partnerships with Iarnród Éireann and Bus Éireann, along with a new partnership with Translink, making the event fully accessible to students from Northern Ireland for the first time. Co-founder Gillian Keating added: The success of the I Wish Showcase is a testament to the power of collaboration and strategic partnerships. By drawing on the support of our industry leaders, educators, and transport partners that we have been able to connect young women with the resources and networks they need to choose and thrive in Stem careers that work for them. Together, we are building a community that champions inclusivity, equity, and opportunity for girls across the island of Ireland."" Beyond the annual showcase, I Wish has expanded its activities to a year-round suite of programmes, including a Tech for Good Programme, entrepreneurship programmes and the newly launched I Wish Primary Programme.

West Australian Bec Bignell is a passionate film-maker and producer who's determined to get the ‘real' regional, rural and remote Australia on screens everywhere.She wants more films shot in rural Australia.She wants crews to spend more time learning about rural Australia, by living there.She wants more rural Australians employed in the film industry, especially if they are filming in town.And she wants film crews to remain invested in these communities long after filming is done.Given the conviction of this conversation, we have a feeling Bec will succeed.Her film, Homespun (filmed on her family's sheep and grain farm at Kojonup) is a prime example of what can be achieved and the kind of nuanced stories we need to be telling. Keep an eye out for its release later in 2022.

The 81-year-old co-owns Australia's most isolated pub - the Mt Dare Hotel - alongside her husband, Graham.The pair threw in the farming game seven years ago, after 45-years on the land in Victoria. Instead of putting their feet up, the dynamic duo decided on a desert change – and have never looked back. Sandy says moving to the hotel – which is on the Western edge of the Simpson Desert in South Australia, just 10km south of the Northern Territory border – is the best thing they've ever done.When they're not serving ice cold beers to or what Sandy calls “the best coffee in hundreds of kilometres” to travellers, Sandy and Graham are the first responders to those who've come a cropper in the desert – rescuing intrepid adventurers who find their vehicles are no match for the Aussie outback.

She describes herself as a 'sometimes farmer'. You'll rarely find her milking the cows but without her, her family may not be able to make a living from dairy cows nor live on-farm – for there would be no one to ensure her children get a good education in a bigger city, drive long distances to sporting events, move a mob of cows at a minutes notice, make business phone calls or generally tie up all the loose ends to form some semblance of an ordered life.I think many of you might also be sometimes farmers.Meg Bignell, who grew up on a farm growing Hops for the Cascade Brewery in Tasmania is also a published author, she's a trained trauma nurse, she presented the weather in the Tassie nightly news, wrote medical scripts for Channel 7's All Saints – and there is more – including her soon to be released dissertation on the modern-day feminist, her novel The Angry Women's Choir.Thank you to Boarding Schools Expo for sponsoring this episode.

The CWA is an icon of Australia.Everyone knows it, respects it and most have a story to share about it. The Country Women's Association is akin family for anyone who's ever lived in rural Australia,For the last 100 years its women have been responsible for huge progress in the areas of health, facilities and telecommunications for the bush. But more than that – decades ago, when city women fell in love and married men who were from the country, often they were leaving the comforts of city life, to take up house, that was no more than a dwelling, often there was no electricity, no plumbing, it's unlikely there was a garden, plush finishes and soft furnishings were not widespread.The adjustment was huge, and times were lonely – and this is where the CWA women quietly played their part. Arriving at the doorsteps of these women, with warm scones or cake, to introduces themselves to the newcomer, and then explain the lie of the land and offer friendship, connection and eventually community.Our guest today is the CEO of the CWA of NSW Danica Leys – she grew up on the outskirts of Sydney in Picton, studied Ag Science, went on to work for a law firm and has now landed as the CEO of the CWA of NSW.In this conversations, we explore Danica's unconventional rise in the ranks of ag advocacy and we observe the relevance of the CWA of NSW as it celebrates its 100 year anniversary.This week's podcast is sponsored by Sorority Clothing.

Do you sometimes think how good it would be to chuck it all in and head off on an adventure?It can be nice to daydream about how things could be different –even for just a moment.For Lyndee Severin, those feelings weren't a pipe dream…Speaking to Lyndee, I get the feeling she's someone who isn't afraid to get stuck in and give things a go. She was the first one in her family to go to university, graduating with a business degree in her mid-20s as a mature-age student whilst parenting her two young kids as a single mum. After working as a public servant for nearly a decade, Lyndee decided to go on a trip of a lifetime when she was 40-years old - riding her motorbike from her home in Wollongong to Darwin. It was a trip that would change her life and see her move to Curtin Springs Station – a million-hectare cattle and tourism enterprise, not far from Uluru in Australia's red centre.Looking back at taking that first motorbike trip 20 years ago, Lyndee had no idea how the holiday would set the course of the rest of her life.This episode sponsor is the Graziher 2022 Boarding School Guide.

It's A LOT. All that is going on around us; in our backyard and afar. A lot to take in and contextualise within our own lives.In the last few years there has been so many unprecedented's, worst ever's and an evolution of world events that were acknowledged as absurdity only a few years ago.I've found that gaining a deeper understanding helps.Our guest today is ABC Journalist and Macadamia farmer Bronwyn Herbert, who lives on high ground just 10 kilometres from Lismore.Over the course of the last 10 days her life, and the lives of her community have been turned on their face. Brown, murky, debris filled flood waters, 2 metres higher than the highest ever recording, crushed her community and their days are now filled with the chaos of finding minders for children, so adults can work, and if they're not working they're helping someone, strangers to clean up, or wash clothes or cook meals, or share a cool drink.While you listen to Bronwyn's story have a think about a new initiative Graziher is setting up in response to the QLD and northern NSW floods.The Graziher Bush Telegraph will be set up to help flood effected businesses get back on their feet. We know that when the waters reside, businesses will need the help of the Graziher community for many months to come. So we will be launching the Bush Telegraph in the next issue of Graziher to get the word out. Contact Sally via email to find out how we can help. Her email address is sally@graziher.com.au.

To describe Nicola Forrest AO in a few words is incredibly difficult. She is a mother, philanthropist, change-maker and country girl born and bred.Alongside her husband Andrew Forrest of Fortescue Metals Group, Nicola is the co-chair and co-founder of Minderoo Foundation and a director of the Tattarang Group.She campaigns to better the lives of children and the vulnerable, but also drives advances in the arts and community sectors and for the equality of women.Her story is many things; it's aspirational and I hope you will find it inspirational but most of all, and the reason we wanted to tell Nicola's behind-the-scenes story is because it's relatable. Nicola Forrest could have been any one of us; she grew up on a farm in Spicers Creek in central west New South Wales, had a penchant for agriculture and on travelling to remote north Queensland for a sniff of adventure, she fell in love with the Outback and eventually Andrew Forrest.This is a story of Nicola Forrest as a young girl and as a mother. And a warning this episode does speak about the loss of a child.

Claire really needs no introduction but for those of you who don't know Claire is our mighty leader, the founder of Graziher.Claire's pick is our special episode with Emily Herbert.Claire found this to be a beautiful yet poignant episode as Emily chose to be really vulnerable about what she says was her toughest year, and about suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and then working on her way back to better mental health.It is a bit of a heavy episode, but balanced with the mentioning of the birth of her beautiful baby boy Huckleberry back in January 2021."Emily is so articulate and is such a natural storyteller that it makes sense that she can tell her story so well."

As we all wind down towards the end of 2021, and prepare ourselves to indulge in Christmas after a year that has been testing and challenging in so many ways – The Graziher and Life on the Land team would like to send you off on your Summer Break with a rolling re-cap of our favourite podcast interviews.So Each Monday morning for the next six weeks – one team member will pick an episode that has touched them personally and we will replay it for you here.This week we start with Skye's personal favourite, Christine Ferguson – not each episode in our Summer Series will have it's own fresh introduction but as I am here – I'd love to tell you why I have chose this story.Skye interviewed Christine during our first season of the podcast in September 2020, and her gentle recount of her life and it's weighty difficulties really touched me.How could a person not be a grumpy shell of the person they once were, after suffering all this I thought? But Christine is wise and generous with her wisdom, she doesn't sugar coat life's circumstances and I felt very lucky to have interviewed someone who could so articulately detail – how a love for Life on the Land – can deeply counter all adversities along the way.Please know that this episode talks about some challenging issues including Domestic Violence.

For the final episode of 2021, I catch up with new rural mum Claire Dunne, founder of Graziher. Claire lives on a farm in New Zealand, a long way from her family and home town in Queensland. We've heard a lot about her business baby, but this chat was a chance for me to get to know her a little more personally. You'll hear about her long distance relationship with the farmer she met on an overseas trip, and her move across the Tasman. And of course life and the juggle with her little boy. This is her story.SPONSOR: Vivienne Cate offers a unique curated collection of cowhides, sheepskin, leather bags, hats, fashion and homewares - with a focus on natural materials and handmade products.

The last 18-months has really thrown a spanner in the works of, well, work. For a lot of people, it has been an unprecedented time – learning to work from the kitchen table, often amid the chaos and debris of homeschooling.However, this is the normal reality for a lot of women in the bush, who wear many hats for many things. While the rest of the world caught up to this thing called remote work, those on properties carried on, business as usual.Someone who has been touting the benefits of remote work long before the global pandemic forced our hand is Jo Palmer.Born in Jindabyne and studying teaching in Wagga Wagga, Jo spent years travelling and working overseas. When a Wagga boy literally fell out of a pub window in front of her on a Croatian sidewalk, her fate was sealed. Jo moved back to Wagga, where she and husband, Hugh raise thier two little girls, Matilda and Anthea.Jo is an entrepreneur by nature. In 2017 at a backyard barbecue, she stumbled across the idea that would set the foundation for her business, Pointer Remote Roles – connecting people in the bush with awesome jobs across the country.Thank you to our episode sponsor SkyMesh.

Hooray! The Graziher summer issue is on sale! It's such a stunning issue, with many of the stories featured meandering around the theme of friendship. I think that is probably what makes the Graziher community stand out for us – that rich sense of connection and friendship which binds us all. We can't wait for you all to see it. And featured in the issue is today's wonderful guest, Cressida Cains. Cheese, and its sustainable creation is Cressida's life work. Cressida and her husband Michael craft award winning sumptuous sheep cheese in the Southern Highlands, each bite offering an expression of their farm's entire ecosystem.Cressida was the state winner of the 2020 Agrifutures Rural Women's Award for NSW and the ACT, and was recently announced as the national runner up for her project Dairy Cocoon – an online education and connection platform for dairy farmers.Named after the Italian word for sheep, Pecora Dairy boasts Australia's only working, pure East Friesian ewes, the most productive breed of dairy sheep in the world. However, this isn't a fourth-generation operation. The Cains traded their corporate life for greener pastures in 2011, swapping Sydney's traffic blare for the bleating of lambs along the way.Thank you to our episode sponsor SkyMesh.

Most of you will know today's guest Fiona Simson as the first female president of Australia peak body for agriculture, the National Farmers Federation. There's not many days that go by that she's not quoted in a newspaper or seen on the TV or interviewed for radio.But did you know that politics and advocacy were never really in Fiona's sites.She's ended up in this position because she didn't have a huge demanding job. Years ago she was the one in her community that had some extra time to take on the lengthy plight of farmers effected by the land development proposals of a multi million dollar mining company.This process solidified where her passions really lay and she's gone on to represent farmers on all kinds of levels. But behind the scenes – Fiona Simson – really is your girl next door kind of woman - who loves making marmalade, camping who batch-cooks for her family for when she is away and remains incredibly humble.Thank you to our episode sponsor SkyMesh.

When you're a teenager – you're on the cusp of life in the big wide world and that is exhilarating and debilitating in the same breath.It's a time when a mish-mash of expectations from all corners of the universe collie – leaving you, the teenager, on any given day feeling, fabulous and confident, full of bravado and then tired, then anxious, then insecure, uncertain and full of tears and fears.It's such a challenging time.Our guest today Ruby Riethmuller is building an organisation where girls lead girls through this tricky time, by matching teenage girls with a sister-like figure who's not intimidating, who's young and she gets it.Last month Ruby's idea shot to fame when she won the BFTB and PayPal AU Big Break competition – which means a whole suite of new tools can be added to her innovative approach to young mental health.Thank you to our episode sponsor SkyMesh.

Welcome to a special episode of Life on the Land and a big congratulations to the National Winner of the AgriFutures Rural Women's Award, Yawuru/Bunuba woman Cara Peek from Broome in Western Australia.This AgriFutures Rural Women's Award ceremony was beamed into the homes, tractors and even paddocks of 600 Australians virtually via video links that connected MCs and finalists in all states and territories. These awards are all about grit, determination and courage — and this is 100 per cent Cara.She's tough, and she's determined and I so clearly remember when we interviewed her earlier in the year, her bold doggedness to give opportunity to her people — in a way that is right for them culturally.Her project is Saltwater Country — giving indigenous people and at-risk youth an alternative way of being involved in life, learning life skills on country and helping them become re-engaged in the world around them.

Claire Dunne was at a crossroads. She was 23, working on her parent's farm and all she wanted to do was travel, but she didn't have the money to do it. Then she got an idea.  Growing up in regional Queensland on a cattle farm, Claire noticed that the stories of the incredible women around her weren't being celebrated.  So from her parent's kitchen bench, she starting making a magazine. She called it Graziher.  Five years on, Graziher continues to showcase the stories of regional women across Australia. But Graziher is more than a magazine, they have a podcast, hold large events for readers and have created a community for regional women to share their stories. From doctors to lady startups to people in agriculture Graziher reflects regional and remote communities in all their glory.  So how did Claire start a magazine with no experience? And how did she manage to successfully launch a magazine at a time when publications across the nation were shutting their doors?  LINKS You can keep up with all things Graziher on Instagram or online at www.graziher.com.au Tell us what you think about Lady Startup Stories via our survey and you could go in the running to win a $100 Gift Voucher!

This week, Life on the Land sounds a little different and is a first for us.Last episode, we spoke to Ju Roche, an artist living on a farm outside Wagga Wagga. Ju and Emily Herbert chatted about her painting process and how the land plays an integral part in her conceptual practise, sometimes painting outside under the moonlight. They also spoke about her family and in particular, her relationship with her artist sister Jacqui Meyers.Ju spoke about Jacqui in such an infectious way that we just had to have her on the podcast…. Jacqui is Ju's older sister, she has Down Syndrome and was idolised by Ju as a child – Julia says she used to follow Jac around like a bad smell. These days Jacqui is an artist, a wife and a brilliant Aunty. For today's podcast, the sisters sat down in Jacqui's home in Wagga, hitting record over a cuppa and meandering down memory lane.

The land has a deep and enduring effect on today's guest. Julia Roche is an artist who lives on her family's farm outside Wagga Wagga, in the heart of the Riverina in New South Wales.Ju is part of a new generation of artists coming from regional AustraliaTo stand in front of Ju's large, abstract landscapes is to bear witness to her inner world. Her paintings are evocative, visceral, layered and incredibly expressive. When not painting in her age-old woolshed studio – Ju has been painting outside and by moonlight, really distilling her pieces into what she can hear, smell, feel and taste, rather than relying on eyesight and aesthetics alone.In this conversation, we talk about Julia's practice, how she has balanced commercial viability with her creativity and how she works from a place of abundance rather than scarcity. We also talk about disability and inclusivity in the art world, and Julia's personal and working relationship with her vibrant older sister Jacqui - who is also an artist, and who has Down Syndrome.

As a child, a teenager and even a student, today's guest knew nothing about rural Australia, in fact, she had not a care for life on the land. She went on to become a political journalist in Canberra. And then – our guest today – author, writer and rural editor for Guardian Australia Gabrielle Chan met ‘The Farmer'.Her eyes were opened to the daily routine of farming. She observed an intimacy between farmers, nature and the environment they co-existed upon. In the main street of her local community, she gleaned the complexities of culture and the climate – and what she was hearing, was a far-cry from the rhetoric being heralded in the halls of Parliament.Gabrielle Chan finds herself as a unique kind of commentator, and her newly released book, 'Why you should give a fuck about farming', voices these intricacies in a new way.But we start today, as we always do, at the beginning; in Gabrielle's early days as a child of the Sydney suburbs.Thank you to today's episode sponsor, The King's School.

Today I'm joined by one of the Graziher Celebrities, Jane Smith – also known as The Shady Baker from a sheep station east of Broken Hill in New South Wales. Jane's writing and recipes have been a feature in all but one issue of Graziher Magazine – and people, like you, have grown to love her work, her food and her gentle description of her life on the land.To me Jane Smith is a true home-bod – when she has to leave, she can never wait to get home.She loves that she knows everyone in her community – never feels isolated and her favourite thing in the world is to cook for her family. All these things are unique and relatable for thousands of women (and men) across rural Australia – and so I asked Jane to start with a small reading of what homesickness means to her.The internet connection for this chat – is dodgy in parts – I think trying to find a perfect line from the east of broken hill to the isolated hills of Blakney Creek can sometimes be a hard ask sometimes!Thank you to our amazing sponsor for this episode, the team from SG Off-Road - Make adventure happen with SG Off-Road.⁠⁠⁠

Our guests today are photographers. Georgie Mann from a sheep and cattle farm near Caramut, three hours west of Melbourne and Jess Howard who lives on the Sunshine Coast and originally hails from near Biloela in south east QLD.These women make up two of the eleven photographers of the Beauty in the Bush Collective on Instagram. Last week they boldly launched a newsprint publication. The Bush Journal.It's another exciting example of private enterprise, not even that, just a handful of women, invigorated by each others influence – reigniting the way stories are rural Australia are told and sold.The story behind their coming together is one we can all take heart from. Collectively they were seeking connection, maybe even feeling a little isolated, they 'looped' up via Instagram, realised their similarities and their unique offering. So they started creating. Lots of things. An Instagram account. They printed a calendar for sale and now they have a quarterly publication.Thank you to our amazing sponsor for this episode, the team from @sg_offroad – make adventure happen with SG Off-Road.⁠⁠

This episode deals with the experience of losing a child, which may be triggering. If you need to speak to someone, please call Lifeline, on 13 11 14There aren't many interviews in which our host Emily Herbert has both cried and laughed until a little bit of wee came out. But there isn't many people like Olympia Yarger, today's podcast guest.Olympia is a maggot farmer. Yes, you heard that right. She is the founder and CEO of Goterra, a rapidly growing organisation based in Canberra. Aussies throw away 20 per cent of the food they buy. Isn't that crazy? And that waste has a huge effect on our environment.Olympia has developed waste infrastructure to solve our food waste crisis. She's developed a system where she takes food waste, feeds it to black soldier fly larvae who munch it all up, which then excrete the goodness to create an amazing fertiliser. The maggots themselves are then made into protein rich pig, chook and fish feed. It's a perfectly circular economy.Not only this, she and her team have decentralised the system – creating robots full of maggots which can be parked at supermarkets, hospitals, bakeries, and anywhere where there's a lot of waste.Olympia's journey to building this start-up – and raising more than $10-million of venture capitalist funding along the way – is extraordinary. She is darkly hilarious, intelligent and amazingly articulate. Behind this, her life's experiences broke my heart. She has known terrible tragedy and grief, and has somehow gleaned how to move through and with it; a catalyst of meaningful change that I can only describe as remarkable and quite singular.We start our chat with her beginnings in Canberra and how her innate love of farming was unexpectedly formed when attending boarding school in Yass.This episode of Life on The Land is bought to you by a small (but big in personality!) bush-based café, fashion & gift retail store, located in the far NW NSW town of Walgett.

This week, we're back with Heidi Castleden from Hovell's Creek near Boorwowa on the southern tablelands of New South Wales.In her lifetime, Heidi has been the recipient of not one but two organs, two livers, donated by strangers. These have saved her life and in turn given her the ability to start a business, get married and have a family of her own. Her story is beyond remarkable – the depths of her courage and resilience is something most of us would never have to encounter in a lifetime let alone by the age of 15 when organ donation first became a reality for her.This week – we hear more of Heidi's story – the loss of her mother, the women who cared for her, her marriage to James and the birth of her daughter.Thank you to Antola Trading our sponsor for this episode.You can find Heidi at @castleden_co on Instagram and at castleden.coSign up to the Graziher newsletter or subscribe to our quarterly publication for 2 or 3 years and receive a Rachel Castle Graziher Tote Bag at graziher.com.au

Today's guest is Heidi Castleden from Hovell's Creek near Boorowa in southern New South Wales.On two occasions – an organ donated from a stranger – has saved her life.The first time was when she was just 15 and the second was when she was 31.At 15 years of age, after years and years of unsolved medical ailments, Heidi received a diagnosis of a rare congenital liver disease. She was told she would need a transplant in 5 to 10 years but the need came much quicker.Heidi's life has been spent managing, waiting and overcoming a myriad of health setbacks for herself and her family. But not for one moment, will she be defined by this. In fact, she told me that some of her friends might be surprised when they hear the finer details of her story.This week is Organ Donation Week in Australia – the week in which we are all encouraged to speak with our loved ones about organ donation – and to register if that's what we decide we want to do.

Originally from Paris, Alienor's heart lies in adventure. She has lived in Brazil for 18-months managing a boutique hotel, has trekked across Mongolia on horseback twice and has travelled from Siberia to Paris in a motorbike sidecar.But her most recent and all-encompassing trip was here in Australia. Passionate about advocating for the plight of the Aussie wild horse, Alienor trekked the Bicentennial National Trail with her three brumbies – an expedition that took 13-months across 5,330km.Alienor started in Victoria's Healesville and ended in Cooktown, Queensland. Around 50 people have completed the trek – more people have walked on the moon. She was the second woman to complete the trail, and the first with wild horses.Her Australian story started 16-years ago, when the then 20-year old Alienor landed in Melbourne for a three week holiday. She never took her flight home, and ended up in Central Australia working in remote Indigenous communities.Thank you to our Sponsor for this episode MaiaGrazing.

If you have a copy of the Winter edition of Graziher you've no doubt already met today's guest Whitney Spicer. She's not originally from the country but she's young and vibrant, bubbly and creative, and she's just the kind of women that small towns embrace because they choose to move their life and their family to the country.Whitney lives with her husband and three kids in Manildra in central west New South Wales. As a newbie to country living she still takes delight in the things others sometimes take for granted – the school bus, the local show, and the dirt roads.These are the things country folk sometimes grow tired of, but really, these things make the heart that keep small communities ticking, alive and checking in on one another - and from this strong foundations are created and they often breath confidence into other things – which in Whitney Spicers case is her work as an artist – which has seemingly bloomed since she's lived in the Country.

To be honest, our host Emily Herbert struggled to know where to begin when writing this intro. Tracey's resume is incredibly impressive. She was the first female CEO of the Northern Territory Cattlemen's Association. She has been a vital, driving force behind the watershed class action against the Federal Government's 2011 live export ban to Indonesia – which has won the unwinnable, with an expected $600-million in compensation for producers and beef businesses.She has recently been awarded the 2021 Queensland Country Life Beef Achiever at Rockhamptom's Beef Week. She has been named one of Australia's 100 Women of Influence, owns and runs a successful small business and is the mother of four sons who are sixth generation Territorians. She has also known unbelievable tragedy and grief. But tough country calls for tough people and resilience was interwoven in the blueprint of Tracey's childhood.Our amazing sponsors for this episode are the team from SG Off-Road – make adventure happen with SG Off-Road.⁠

Driving home from work is the first chance Ali Cooper has to take a deep breath in her day. The mum of three is part of the CC Cooper & Co family farming empire, nearly two million acres spread across six properties across NSW, South Australia and WA.If that’s not quite enough, Ali has also recently taken on Jamestown’s ‘The Park’, breathing new life into the cabins and caravan facilities. She leads a big, busy, full life married to fifth-generation farmer, Seth. The Coopers have been on a mission to expand and diversify their operation, contending with devastating droughts and floods along the way. Theirs is a story of unearthing opportunities and seizing the moment while dealing with the inevitable challenges along the way.Thank you to today's sponsor RB Sellars.

Today’s guest is a household name in the Australian bush. It's Landline's Pip Courtney who's been gracing our TV screens for close to five decades.There have been two men in Pip's life. Her biggest mentor was her journalist father who she rarely saw, except on Saturday’s, when Pip would listen on with eager ears as he dissected the style, tone and headlines of the weekend papers. And then there was John. I think we all follow Pip’s journey with a certain degree of affection having watched on in shock and dismay as she lost her cameraman husband John Bean, in a helicopter crash that also took the lives of reporter Paul Lockyer and pilot Gary Ticehurst. Despite it, all Pip still genuinely regards herself as the luckiest girl in the world.Thank you to today's sponsor Marcus Oldham College.

This episode includes conversations about Depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Mental ill-health, if you or anyone you know needs someone to speak with about any of these issues you can call LifeLine on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue.This week, we’re taking you into the belly of the Graziher team and flipping the mic so to speak. Emily Herbert’s silky words have graced the pages our magazine for 4 years and last year she joined the Life on the Land podcast team.She's had a break from the podcast as she gave birth to a beautiful boy Huckleberry in January.The more I get to know this women the more my awe and admiration grows. She’s ridden out a really tough year in 2020 as a self confessed COVID refugee, who got married, moved back in with her parents and then fell pregnant.But in the scheme of things 2020 hasn’t been her toughest year, Em’s lived through a lot. When she was at University her best friend, Maddie took her life, which Em says split her in two. She suffered terribly including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and as she continues to work her way to better mental health, she’s also become a sensible, smart and incredible articulate advocate for this important issue – and we talk lots about this. The caveat is that Emily is not a health professional and this is her own version of her story, the advice is in no way supposed to be taken as professional.We did start the interview on a happier note, by congratulating her on the birth of baby Huckleberry!Emily has also written about her experience at University and beyond in this article for Mamamia.

Our guest on Life on the Land this week is prolific rural fiction writer from Western Australian Fleur McDonald. In the last 12 years she’s written 18 books, the latest ‘Something to Hide’ is out this week. Long before Fleur was a writer, she was chasing the dream to be a farmer, hassling the patriarchy at every opportunity so she could build her skills and one-day own her own piece of land.She realised this dream when she moved to Esperance in Western Australia but her story gradually became complex and difficult, even her writing had to be done in secret sometimes.Fleur’s own tale is of a lifelong love of the land peppered with challenges; isolation, anxiety, divorce, disability and many disappointments.Thank you to our Series Sponsor - Blundstone Australia.Graziher's Autumn Edition is on sale now at your local stockist and for a limited time in selected Coles Stores.

Moria refugee camp, the largest in Europe has often been described as “hell” by many of the thousands of people who are there. Dr. Claire Dunne joins Ray to talk about a new campaign.

From a school of the air childhood, where afternoon’s meant sticky hands from themolasses feed run in the 90’s drought to riding bikes, chasing birds and starting mini-businesses, there emerged a girl with a quite confidence landing her as a lawyer, an ag-tech innovator and an exciting new advocate with an inimitable spark, that’s hard to extinguish.Even in the wee hours of the early morning, while soothing sleepless babies, Elisha Parker is excited about the opportunity to spend time not catching up on sleep but working!! Elisha is from Clermont in Central Queensland. Daytime means working full time as a lawyer.Night-times mean fine tuning her innovative website cattlesales.com.au which she co-founded in 2015. There’s also two young children in the mix and handful of other community projects – not to mention the fact that she’s the QLD finalist for the Agrifutures Rural Women of the Year award this year. So what is the perfect childhood recipe to produce such a go-getter of women?By the sounds of things is just a freedom to explore life possibilities.Thank you to our Series Sponsor - Blundstone Australia.Graziher's Autumn Edition is on sale now at your local stockist and for a limited time in selected Coles Stores.

Dr Claire Dunne, who worked in Moria camp with MSF, and GP in North Dublin, talks to Sarah about European refugee camps and Ireland's commitment to accept 400 refugees from Greece.

Imagine having to pack up and leave your entire life only to find yourself living in a tent, in a camp, with little access to basic human needs and surrounded by thousands of others in the same situation as you. That is the reality for the thousands of people on the Greek island of Lesbos. Irish doctor Claire Dunne works with MSF (Doctors without Borders) and she has seen the realities of life on the ground in these camps. Claire, who saw the immediate aftermath of the massive fire in the Moria Camp last September, told Dermot and Dave that things have not improved since the fire and Covid has continued to cause problems for those living there. The Irish GP also explained the incredible mental strain that living in the camp has on the children and adults from self-harm to nightmares. Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Dr Dunne called on the Irish Government to extend our infamous céad míle fáilte to those in the camps and why she's backing the 400 Welcomes campaign. You can catch the chat in full by clicking play below: [audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2021/03/18124656/DrClaireDunne_1803.mp3"][/audio]

Dr Claire Dunne, a Dublin-based GP who has recently completed a mission with MSF in Greece, spoke to Seán about a campaign urging the government to relocate 400 migrants to Ireland as a matter of urgency.

If you haven't grown up on the land the foray into rural life is often closely followed by a the feeling of isolation, being separated from your people and different from your normal environment where everything you knew was familiar and ordered. Isolation is definitely not unique to the bush it’s a challenge that so many mothers in rural Australia have experienced. Stephanie Trethewey is one of them and she’s making much of it. Her podcast, Motherland, interviewing ordinary and extraordinary rural Mum’s has had over 110,000 downloads. Her new vocation is not what Steph ever imagined , she was born in Sydney and with a career as a TV reporter she had not a thought for a life on the land. But on a quiet news day while working in Queensland, she interviewed her now husband Sam Tretheway and thought he was kinda cute and the rest is history. This is her story! Thank you to our Series Sponsor Blundstone Australia. Stephanie has also written a piece for the Autumn edition of Graziher which is ON SALE NOW.

This chick, ARIA award winning Australian country music singer and song writer Fanny Lumsden is a such a legend. The energy that she gives off even via a computer screen is pretty special. Fanny is a born to be entertainer, who somehow maintains the authenticity of a girl who’s grown up on a farm, she sees the true beauty of small communities (insert her Country Halls Tour) in Australia and yet has 8 golden guitars awards sitting on her mantle piece. And is still surprised at the ongoing success or her career.Part of her story is what happened in 2020. One thing was bushfire - her home was in the middle of the Dunns Road fire. It became a mega-fire, 6-hundred thousand hectares in size. A proper Armageddon. Then on the day her 3rd Album was to be released – COVID lockdown hit. It was bad. We talk about this but not before we wind it back to a topic that’s is pure delight; her childhoods and the days of singing in the sheep shed and doing circus moves on the back of her horses!Thank you to our series sponsor Blundstone Australia.If you'd like to meet more women like Fanny, you can do so on the pages of our magazine Graziher.

our latest guest was farmer, historian and author Maggie MacKellar who now lives in the tiny town on the east coast of Tasmania – as Maggie so beautifully told us in her interview released on Monday there’s been many bumps in her life. One thing that’s helped her process the blindsides that have beset her is writing and journalling, a discipline she does religiously each morning. Not only has it helped her overcome adversity but her words have become the basis of books and memoirs. So she shares with you, her practise and what it brings to her life on the land.

In her life to-date farmer, historian and author Maggie MacKellar has navigated some of the most horrendously unexpected undertows of life. But now, in her home with her partner, in a tiny town on the east coast of Tasmania, it's their Life on the Land that’s brought her to calmer waters again.Some of you may already know Maggie’s story, she’s been on ABC TV’s Australian Story twice. The first was the story of her husband, Mike who became acutely unwell with a mental health illness, which quickly took hold of his once healthy mind and escalated to a situation where he took his own life. Maggie was 6 months pregnant with their second child at the time. Then, soon after, Maggie’s rock, the person who gave her breath - her mother - was taken when an acute cancer took her life leaving Maggie reeling again …..When we asked Maggie if she’d like to be interviewed she was needed to think. Because stepping back in time is not something she, or her children do often …… and when she looks back now, she admits, things are no less hard or harrowing, but they do look a bit different.....Thankyou to our series sponsor Blundstone.Our Autumn issue is so close and will be arriving soon on Subscribers doorsteps. If you’d like the same surprise in your mailbox you can subscribe for yourself - or a friend - or both at graziher.com.auThanks for listening, we’ll be back next week with another story of Life on the Land.

When I’ve observed todays’ guest from afar, usually at an ag conference or the like, I feel like she’s akin to rural Australia’s version of the Queen. Always impeccably dressed. A woman of strength, who’s practical, like a farmer, in her solutions and it seems that the crowd almost parts when she enters the room.Robbie Sefton lives with her husband Alastair on a farm close to Tamworth. From town she runs her national communications business, Seftons. It’s been strategising policy, product and service campaigns for government, research organisations and some big corporates like Westpac and Woolworths for more than 30 years. Robbie’s story spans from a childhood in Deni catching rabbits, to dazzling Freo in the Alan Bond days - surviving on champagne and a full freezer of connoisseur ice-creams - to an unexpectedly arduous medical procedure she was lucky to survive then and back home to NSW again, but not before she trucked thousands of sheep across the Nullabor. Robbie’s story is not one bit as you might expect it to be.Thankyou to our Series Sponsor: Blundstone Australia.

Georgie Robertson is a red dirt country girl from way back. Growing up on a sheep station past Ivanhoe, it was a 2.5 hour drive for the Robertson family to the nearest town. She studied via school of the air and understands the heart of country Australia because she’s lived it.She’s also one of the go-to voices for Public Relations and media communications in the bush, with a client list that includes National Farmers Federation, AgriFutures and Buy From The Bush to name a few.Running her business, The Regional PR Co, remotely from a property near Coolamon, 40 minutes outside Wagga, Georgie’s clients are regularly featured in national publications and broadcast slots.But the road to a thriving business hasn’t been linear or without its bumps.She founded her agency, The Regional PR Co in January 2018 – originally out of total necessity when she, her partner Scotty and her three daughters suddenly found themselves without a home, and Georgie without full-time work.Thank you to our sponsor for Series 3 of Life on the Land: Blundstone Australia.The Autumn edition of Graziher is close to going to print and it's another cracking issue.

Because we recorded this episode on January 6, 2021, we take a moment to acknowledge the day's events before we talk about any movies this week. After we do that, Megan kicks things off with SHADOW IN THE CLOUD (3:25), Roseanne Liang's WWII action/horror film starring Chloe Grace Moretz. Then everyone reviews HERSELF (14:18). This film tackles difficult content so we offer a trigger warning before discussing Phyllida Lloyd's drama about a single mother (Claire Dunne) who escapes an abusive ex and struggles to find a home for her children. We wrap up with ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI (33:19), Regina King's directorial debut about a fictional meeting between Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown. And in this week's Patreon exclusive audio, we pay tribute to the late Joan Micklin Silver by discussing her 1975 directorial debut HESTER STREET.

Today's guest on Life on the Land is our cover girl, Yawuru Bunuba women Cara Peek is a force. She spent her childhood days in multicultural Melbourne and as a self confessed 'geek', Cara is incredibly intelligent, so much so that she studied Law but soon found that the law was too slow for her and took matters into her own hands.Now she lives closer to her ancestors in Broome in the Kimberley where she runs her flagship event Saltwater Country Inc. and The Cultural Intelligence Project and this year she's the Agrifutures WA Rural Women of the Year.I've learned that this girl has grit and she's not about making people feel comfortable quite the opposite. What she's achieving is pretty extraordinary and it seems advocacy comes naturally to Cara. This is her story.Thank you to Seed Terminator for sponsoring this episode.If you want to read more about Cara you can purchase the Summer edition of Graziher at graziher.com.au or if you already have your copy, why not grab a subscription for a friend?

Today’s guest became a household name in Australia almost overnight. Warren women, Grace Brennan is Buy From The Bush. Last Christmas, in desperation, searching to offer her community just the tiniest germ of hope to help get through the drought for a just a bit longer, she started a Instagram page encouraging people in the city, to buy their kris kringle presents from businesses in the bush.She thought it would be a nice thing maybe for her friends and family to grab hold of – instead ten’s of thousands of people jumped on board with unbridled enthusiasm. What Grace created is movement – allowing those in the cities (and all over) an insight into the wonderfulness, ingenuity and raw talent that lies beyond.What she ( and her team ) has achieved is what Governments, Corporations and Industry groups have been trying to formulate for years – a bridging of the urban rural divide. What you may not know about Grace is that - there’s been many paths in her life that have been leading her to this point. While it may seem that this is an overnight success story Grace has (perhaps unconsciously) been working towards this for a long time. This is her story and it starts in the streets of Sydney, where her childhood was not dissimilar that of any country kid.Thank you to today's sponsor Birdsnest.

Today’s chat is with Grace Quast. If you’re a reader of Graziher you may have seen Grace’s gorgeous face splashed across the pages modelling for various fashion shoots, or spied her name in the byline of a story. This multi-skilled journalist and farmer is living proof a satisfying career isn’t hampered by geography. Living with husband David on their property ‘Domang’ half way between Moree and Goondiwindi, she says she’s in the business of ‘storytelling’ – whether as a photographer, a stylist or a branding consultant. Emily Herbert chatted to her the day she and David wrapped up harvest – the first they’ve had since the couple bought the family property three years ago. Taking on a family legacy and huge debt - and then enduring years of crippling drought - has been the greatest challenge of Grace’s life.Thank you to the sponsor this episode Misty View Cottages.Grace Quast InstagramEmily Herbert websiteThis podcast is a Manson + Company production.

It's fair to say that 2020 has been a tough year for most, certainly an extraordinary year like we’ve never seen before. But for today’s guest, young dairy farmer Tahlia McSwain from Busselton in south west Western Australia it’s been a shocker. Earlier this year she took a job as a stockwoman, escorting sheep and cattle on a live export vessel. She’d done it before and she should have been home the family dairy farm within a matter of weeks. But things went wrong. Complications with COVID 19 which are still unclear to Tahlia saw herself and the crew onboard stranded on the vessel unexpected for 170 days. This took Tahlia to the depths of her mental strength to get through the days.But it doesn't end there, shortly after she finally arrived back home in Western Australia, one of the crew members tested positive to COVID 19 whipping up a West Australian media frenzy. Also while on board she lost some of her colleagues in a nightmarish tragedy when the live export vessel they were working on capsized in the south china sea.The good news is that she’s at home now - and in a weird way - almost back to normal life. This is her story.Life on the Land is an independently produced podcast for the Graziher magazine.

All over the country people are throwing open their windows allowing the sweet Spring air to infiltrate - homes and minds – and awaken our senses. In most parts of the country it’s a wonderful season, worth celebrating. There are still parts of the country that are dry and dusty, insipid almost and we are thinking of you. Today’s guest, Claire Austin has lived through that and it was during times of drought especially that her wonderful homegrown gardening community became all the more important.She started the Gin Gin Garden Club as a way to glean tricks from local green thumbs about gardening in a harsher climate. Now it’s become so much more than that, a welcoming community for other young local women to come together and foster their own patches of nature, an online store and even reason to take part in Graziher’s Spring Edition’s cover shoot amongst a sea of blossom.Thank you to our Sponsor - Rural Financial Counselling Service NSW Southern Region.If you haven’t got your copy already, the Spring Edition of Graziher is on sale now or you can make sure you never miss an issue by signing up for a subscription at graziher.com.au.

Annabelle Hickson isn’t your average country girl, in fact, even though she’s written extensively about her life on the land she still feels like a foreigner travelling to another wonderful planet. She's lived in Moree and now on a farm near Tenterfield in northern New South Wales for almost a decade with her husband Ed and three children and continues to be astonished by her life, lifestyle and the people within it.

If you love country living then today’s guest will be another than needs no introduction. It's Claire Dunne the editor of Graziher magazine. At the age of just 22, fed up with the fact that no editors would commission her stories on rural women, she decided to go it alone and start own publication - she was living with her mum and dad on their family farm in Queensland, and pulled together the first issue in-between days doing farm work.Last year Graziher celebrated its 5th birthday and this week, we’re all blown away by the excitement over the launch of the Graziher podcast, Life on the Land. Claire blows me away herself – she is so understated and yet so successful in her pursuit to build a community that celebrates rural women. Here’s her story ….

[English version below] Insítear scéal Danny agus a athar William san úrscéal seo (1975), agus dírítear go háirithe ann ar an ngrá speisialta a bhíonn idir athair agus mac. Is scéal é a bhaineann le roghanna morálta, agus a thaispeánann an tslí a ndéanann daoine ‘maithe' drochrudaí, nó an tslí a gcuirtear daoine i gcás go mbíonn orthu roghanna deacra a dhéanamh. Ina dhiaidh sin féin, tugann an leabhar seo dóchas do dhaoine óga. Taispeánann sé gur féidir leo céimeanna beaga a thógáil in aghaidh daoine atá ag déanamh géarleanúna orthu, agus cathanna beaga a bhuachan trí chlisteacht agus obair chrua. Láithreoir: Róisín Adams Aíonna: Dr Claire Dunne agus Éamonn Ó Dónaill [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] This novel (1975), which deals with the special love that exists between a father and son, tells the story of Danny and his father William. It's a story about moral choices, and it shows how 'good' people can do bad things, or how people are sometimes forced to make difficult decisions. That being said, the book gives hope to young people. It shows that they can fight back in small ways against those who persecute them, and win small battles through cleverness and hard work.
