Sometimes we come across some absolute gems and Vinnie was one of them. While Bruce was still down in the Victorian Gippsland area, he received a call from Paul Groves of Colac, asking if he had time to catch up with his Uncle Vinnie so a detour was made and we were able to capture the story. Bruce told me about this amazing, gracious and gentle man and said how fortunate he feels to be able to do these podcasts and meet the country's finest. Unfortunately, Vinnie was laid to rest yesterday after passing away just over a week ago but thankfully, his family asked for us to go ahead with the interview. Rest in Peace ol mate.

Yowie Sightings in the Otways RegionNorth from the Otways, one enters areas known for Yowie sightings, such as Colac. As the journey continues northwards, areas beyond Rokewood becomes more mountainous, and reports of Yowie sightings tend to increase.These areas have gained a reputation for being known for spasmodic Yowie activity.While this is an excellent report, we apologise for the audio quality—it was the best we could do at the time of recording. Descriptions of the Yowie often mention hair measuring seven to eight inches under the arms, reminiscent of an orangutan. This feature, along with a height of around eight feet and a heavily muscled build, resembling primate, yet exhibiting some human-like facial characteristics, are commonly reported in Yowie sightings across Australia. These attributes are consistent from the far north, to the very southern tip of the country, demonstrating that no corner of Australia is entirely free from Yowie encounters.For more comprehensive information, reports and history of the Yowie, visit our Website at www.yowiehunters.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/yowiehunters-witness-reports. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ever wondered how night shift workers manage their health and find a semblance of normalcy while the rest of the world sleeps? In our latest episode, my dear friend Roger Sutherland, a law enforcement officer with heaps of wisdom, joins the conversation to unpack the less discussed aspects of nocturnal work life. We celebrate the post-Easter chocolate indulgences (guilt-free, of course!), while also sharing tips that have helped us manage weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle despite our topsy-turvy schedules. Plus, we open the lines to your burning questions about shift work, sleep, and how to thrive when your work clock is out of sync with the sun.Our night-time narrative takes us on a journey from the quiet streets of Hastings to the lively dairy farms of Colac. We share the hilarious yet eye-opening escapades of Bert, who dodged the law during early morning shifts, and Simon, whose dedication to his cows epitomizes the commitment of those who work while the world is at rest. But it's not all fun and games; we pay respect to the unsung heroes of the night, including emergency veterinary teams, and dive into the pressing concern of sleep anxiety amongst paramedics – with a retired ICU paramedic shedding light on the toll of decades spent on the front lines.Wrapping up, we take a hard look at the work-family tightrope walked by shift workers like Danny in security and FIFO miners in Australia's rugged West. We share heartfelt stories of balancing the scales of work commitments and home life, alongside the genuine struggles and victories that come with the territory. It's a candid wrap-up of the extreme adjustments and health implications of shift work from those living it every day. And remember, our community conversation continues bi-weekly, with your experiences and insights driving it forward – catch us on our website or slide into our DMs on Instagram @a_healthy_shift.Support the show YOU CAN FIND ME AT Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn YouTube COACHING One2One Coaching One Off Consults ________________________ FREE E-BOOK - “The best way to eat on Night shift” IN-HOUSE SEMINARS - Enquire Here _____________________ Disclaimer: Roger Sutherland is not a doctor or a medical professional.
