In this week’s episode, hosts Penny Thomas and Megan French sit down with travel writer and photographer Mogens Johansen to chat about one of Australia’s most beloved travel destinations — Tasmania, an island gem located just off the bottom right corner of Australia’s mainland. Fresh from a trip to Tassie, as it’s affectionately known, Mogens shares highlights from his recent adventure, including a two-night stay at a wilderness retreat on Cradle Mountain in Tasmania’s central highlands. Penny and Megan also share some of their favourite spots in Tasmania, from the historic charm of Richmond and the natural beauty of Bruny Island to cultural highlights like MONA in Hobart. The episode concludes with another round of “this or that”, where Mogens and Penny face off, sharing their personal travel preferences relating to Tasmania.

My guest today on Hosting With Heart is Jodie McQueen, owner and operator of Paradise Road Farm, a two-cabin farm stay in Sheffield, the gateway to Tasmania's Cradle Mountain world heritage area. With a diverse professional background including time spent working in Japan and Australia in a variety of communications, tourism and sustainability-focused roles, in 2016 Jodie and her then-partner determined it was time for a tree change and went on to purchase a 100 acre property in Tasmania. By 2019 and then newly single, she embarked on a permanent move to the property and soon after got the wheels in motion on the build of two modest, sustainably-constructed cabins, supporting the small-scale, regenerative farm she had already established. Having opened the doors to Paradise Road Farm to the public in October of 2020, she has since built a highly successful, adults-only accommodation business, all the while maintaining an operational ethos that prioritises the planet and encourages guests to leave their stay with an enhanced level of respect for the natural environment.

In this episode we are continuing our road trip doing the Lap of Tasmania.  We start off by discovering Tasmania's highest waterfall, and we tell you about the unique way to reach the bottom of the falls. Our lunch spot was one of those places that you can only discover on a road trip. Lake Rosebery at Tullah was idyllic. Finally, we found our way to our accommodation in the world famous Cradle Mountain national park. If there is one place that people have heard of in Tassie – it is Cradle Mountain.  It is almost too beautiful to describe with its snow covered mountain peaks, ancient rainforests, glacial lakes and abundance of unique Australian Wildlife – it is breathtaking. We share which walks and hikes to do, how best to explore the national park, where to stay and the best way to see those adorable Aussie animals.  In fact, I share my favourite Aussie animal, and how excited I was to see some and a very, very interesting fact about these little furry creatures, that I guarantee you have not heard before! Lastly, we head north to Stanley and the famous "Nut" – which is very unusual looking large rock formation that can be seen for miles. We take you up the nut, tell you how it was formed, and wander around the top to see the best views of Bass Straight and the beaches of Stanley. One of our favourite things about Stanley was the seafood – and no wonder as all the local restaurants source the freshest local catches straight of the boats each day – just think, lobsters, crayfish, scallops and oysters – yum! We share the best places to experience the local seafood and where to stay when visiting Stanley. We hope you enjoy episode 46 which is Part 2 of our Tasmanian road trip.

An earthquake in Papua New Guinea; a death on Cradle Mountain in Tasmania; and a new pay deal for Australian cricketers

Troy gets recognised on a night out. Will people protest the upcoming 250th Live Show? To Troy's surprise, Joe makes it through an overnight trek in the snow at Cradle Mountain and returns with survival stories.

Cradle Mountain wombats don't think Joe will survive his hike. Would you wear a KFC sweater? A swimmer breaks records while another sinks. Who's cooler… Musk or Cage? DJ makes an Ed Sheeran error. Joe falls for John Cena.

UNDAN FÖR ESS! Efter en liten snabbrecension av ett nytt whiskyglas kastar vi oss vindsnabbt in på hur man snabbar upp processen av att göra mogen, fin whisky på nolltid. Dessutom: Destilleriet Tullamore och ordet "Make", inte den goda new maken som vi alla (utom Mathias) älskar, utan bara make. Hittepå eller inte? Bara att lyssna! Swosh! Vad var det i glaset? David fortsätter dricka icke-whisky på grund av muskelavslappnande medicin men Mathias smuttade en 14 YO (!)

Och Laphroaig jäser förresten inte alls på 48 timmar men väl på de ordentligt korta 50–55 timmar. Fatfyllningsstyrka… Det japanska Fuji Gotemba heter numera Mt. Fuji fyller sina fat med för maltwhisky på superlåga 50,5, och när de framställer vad som skulle ha kallats bourbon om destilleriet låg i USA kör de med 55,5. Även svenska Agitator fyller på låga 55%.

Stora delar av boken är ofattbart astråkiga men i små doser är han ganska kul att läsa. Veckans destilleri: Tullamore (D.E.W.) Originaldestilleriet Tullamore grundades 1829 och lades ned 1954. Sedan gjordes whiskeyn på John's Lane, innan det lades ned 1974. Efter det gjordes Tullamore D.E.W. på både Midleton och Bushmill's men numera är det alltså William Grant & Sons som kokar spriten på sitt nya destilleri som kom i produktion 2014. Kapaciteten var inledningsvis på 1,8 miljoner liter ren sprit per år, en siffra som dubblades till 3,6 redan 2017. Numera har destilleriet fyra pannor för produktion både av maltwhiskey och single pot still whiskey, all trippeldestillerad. 2017 lades också ett graindestilleri med en kapacitet på åtta eller nio miljoner liter ren sprit per år till området. https://www.tullamoredew.com/en-gb/ Här kan man läsa lite mer, om än kort: http://www.historyireland.com/volume-22/tullamore-d-e-w-distillery/ Davids recension av Tullamore D.E.W.

Our final stop on the state tour of Australia, the last but definitely not least - Tasmania. Fun fact: you have to go OVERSEAS to visit this part of Australia, it's located on the bottom of Australia and this island state is a true gem!! A pearl in the ocean if you will. Actually, something you can do here is sample some of the amazing seafood - oysters, salmon, prawns and so much more. Tassie is famous for its fresh produce and incredible food and wine season. Salamanca Markets in Hobart is a must to sample a whole range of delicacies. We're joined on this episode by Emma's lovely friend and Tasmanian born and bred, Selina Bush. She shares with us so much of her gorgeous state. Emma had only been to Hobart and Launceston so now has a HUGE list of places to visit next time. From Cradle Mountain to Bruny Island, wineries to epic trails, this state is breathtaking and although it may seem small - deserves a solid amount of time to explore! Thank you for joining us on this fun 8 part series and please let us know if you enjoyed it! We'd love to do some more in the future. Thank you to all our Aussie guests for sharing their incredible states with us. I still call Australia home and after listening to this series, I'm sure you can see (well hear) why!

Hi, I'm Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry. I wrote this poem while travelling through Meander Valley at the foot of Cradle Mountain in northern Tasmania, Australia.  It was that moment of awe, splendour and majesty that a mountain top view offers. Looking out across other mountains and valleys toward the far distant horizon. We then descended to the valley below which was also awesome, splendid and majestic in it's own secret way.

A talk by Dr Andy Flies with music by Emily Sanzaro.Tassie Devil populations are at risk of extinction due to a devastating transmissible cancer that has wiped out huge numbers of the iconic species. But their plight has catalysed groundbreaking research into devil immune systems, and the search for an effective vaccine against the deadly tumour is well underway. The upshot may be that we pull the devil back from the brink, while also discovering crucial insights into other wildlife diseases, including those thought to underlie the Coronavirus pandemic.The suggested walking location for this episode is Cradle Mountain, Tasmania.Learn more at www.sciartwalks.com.au 

Every fortnight we check-in with tourism operators across the State, sharing their experience with Covid-19, and how they're planning for the future. In this fortnight, Tourism Tasmania's Amy Hills sits down with the operators of two very different tourism businesses, with very similar stories of resilience and loss. In March, Gary & Lorraine Ashdown, won the Australian Tourism Award for Hosted Accommodation for their Dover B&B, Ashdowns of Dover.The Ashdown's share their dramatic impact on their business, their plans to use this 'down time' productively, and in working with their local industry. Simon McDermott is Managing Director of his family's well known coach and tour business, McDermott's Coaches. McDermott's are the largest tour charter operator in Tasmania, and also operators the Cradle Mountain shuttle. Simon's business literally stopped overnight and the short-term outlook for bookings looks very bleak. How's he planning for the period ahead? When does he expect the lucrative coach tour market to return to Tasmania?

When someone challenges me to change the way I think or act, they can expect to meet a well-organized resistance. They will have to punch through a layer of conceit that doesn't want to admit that I may have just possibly been slightly, but very understandably, mistaken in this one instance. Then they will have to overcome a quivering blob of inertia that is designed to keep things just as they are, because I like it that way. After that, they will have to hose down a fire of social fear that springs to life whenever I am faced with making a change that my friends might think weird or mistaken. So good luck with that.But somewhere among all those defences to changing my mind about anything, there is a layer of resistance that I have come to call the Yeah-But defence.I have seen it occasionally in myself (in rare moments of self-awareness, possibly in relation to my wife being right about something). And of course, I notice it all the time in other people—because other people are mostly wrong, and for some reason use these kinds of dodges to avoid coming around to my way of thinking.The secret of the Yeah-But defence is to start by acknowledging with a weary nod of the head the very strong, even overwhelming, nature of the argument someone is presenting to you. Yeah I hear what you're saying. Yeah I'm aware of that. Yeah I've read those verses. Yeah we all know that. And then to introduce the But. * But it's not quite that simple, is it?* But there is an interesting verse that might be an exception to what you're arguing. * But surely the evidence you're presenting isn't the only thing to say about this subject.* But I've heard that some scholars take a quite different view. * But I've seen a documentary on Netflix. * But I'm not sure that the consequences of your argument would be easy to put into practice. * But if we accept your argument, won't that lead to (insert alarming consequence here) down the track? * But I feel like what you're saying owes too much to (insert modernism/postmodernism/individualism/Western-guilt-culture or some complex cultural movement that neither of you really understand here). * But surely there are more important things for us to be addressing right now. The genius of the Yeah-But defence is that most of these ‘Buts' are in themselves perfectly reasonable things to say. Nothing is ever that simple. There are always exceptions. Every view is always challenged by some scholar somewhere. We all have mixed motives. We are all influenced by cultural trends. And there are always other important things to be talking about. It's just that none of these ‘Buts' actually respond to the evidence or argument that has been presented, nor give due weight to its volume and strength. In fact, the purpose of the Yeah-But is to deflect the force of strong arguments or powerful evidence, and (if possible) to avoid actually having to interact with them.A well-executed Yeah-But, and especially the very powerful Combination-Yeah-But, can neatly sidestep even the strongest challenge to our thinking or behaviour. To take one example. When theologians or preachers aren't comfortable with putting the substitutionary atonement of Christ for the forgiveness of sins right at the essential centre of their thinking and gospel, they are faced with the awkward fact that the New Testament does precisely that, at point after point. How do they respond? * Yeah, but surely the salvation of individual sinners through the atonement is not the only thing that the Bible says about Jesus death or the gospel? * Yeah, but that's a naive approach to evangelism these days. We need to use categories and ideas that resonate with the cultural narratives of modern people. * Yeah, but isn't your obsession with sin and atonement just an expression of individualistic, guilt-centric Western thinking? * Yeah, but we don't want to end up in some kind of life-denying fundamentalist sect that has nothing to say to the modern world.* Yeah, but there are many reputable NT scholars who think that the traditional understanding of the cross is simplistic and outdated. And so on and so forth. Let's divert attention from the elephantine quantity of evidence in the room by pointing to some interesting features of the wallpaper. How can we respond to the Yeah-But? At one level, we could always counter with a Yeah-But of our own. “Yeah, those caveats you're raising are worth addressing, and we should look at them. But let's start by looking at the mountain of evidence that's in front of us, and assessing its validity. And let's commit together to obedience in light of the weight of the evidence as we find it.” Might that work? Perhaps. But only if a spirit of humility and repentance is wafting through the conversation—and that leads to the second and more significant response: to pray for our conversation partners (and ourselves), that God would grant us both repentance in light of a clear understanding of his truth. The Yeah-But is not simply an annoying rhetorical strategy that frustrates us when we're trying to persuade someone of something (although it is). It's a symptom of something deeper—the profound spiritual pride that afflicts us all. Pride is very close to the heart of sin (as Augustine and many others have observed). Pride is perhaps the primal sin, the unwillingness to give God his rightful place as the highest good and supreme ruler, and to place ourselves there instead. It is the insistence that I am at the centre of the universe, that I need to be acknowledged and deferred to, and that the rest of reality needs to organize itself into an orderly orbit around my interests. Pride is deeply resistant to any form of challenge, but particularly to that challenge that tells me the truth about myself, and thus dethrones me from the centre of my world. The Yeah-But is one of the weapons that our pride deploys to protect us from the truth.It doesn't matter, for example, that creation is pouring forth speech, and that the truth about God, the world and ourselves is plainly displayed there. We will avert our eyes, suppress the truth, and find any rhetorical fig-leaf that falls to hand to cover our nakedness.It doesn't matter that the light of the world is shining brilliantly before our eyes. We will hide in the darkness, because our deeds are evil.The Yeah-But defence turns out to be a pretty good description of the state of my own heart, and all our hearts, when we are confronted by God. Yeah, I know that you are the loving, ruling, generous God, and that I am your beloved creature and child. But did you really say I shouldn't eat from that tree? PS. While I was writing this column I saw one of my hobbyhorses trotting by, and I was deeply tempted to jump on its back for a ride. I am talking about the New Testament's overwhelming usage of the word ‘church' to refer to a gathered, local assembly, and the correspondingly deafening absence of the language or categories of ‘worship' to describe what happens in that assembly. I have been in many Yeah-But conversations about this inconvenient but weighty evidence over the years. In the interests of not boring anyone with another go-around on this topic, I managed to relegate it to this PS! PPS. This week's random image, tenuously connected to our subject by being a mountain (as in a mountain of evidence), is a shot of Cradle Mountain in Tasmania, taken while we were there on holidays a few years ago.

In this episode we discuss the wide variety of day hikes that we've both covered in Tasmania. With hundreds of walks to explore around the island we limited ourselves to walks we've experienced ourselves and between us we've covered most of the "greatest hits". Ranging from Southwest National Park to Mount Field National Park to Cradle Mountain and Freycinet National Park, this is a great listen for those planning a holiday to Tasmania.  To check out the hikes we talk about visit thelongwaysbetter.blogspot.com/ or www.thelifeofpy.com 

Award-winning journalist Kate Legge tells the remarkable story behind the creation of the Cradle Mountain sanctuary through the characters at its heart.

It's the sounds of Summer at Cradle Mountain lake. Let's take a walk down the boardwalk to the boat shed by the water's edge. So many happy sounds, kookaburras laugh, fairy wrens sing to a spotted pardalote and many more.

One catastrophic moment redefined Warren’s life in April 1997 with a freak rock fall on a remote Australian island that left him pinned under a one-ton boulder. For two days he lay trapped and alone, surviving the ordeal only to lose both legs at mid thigh. Doctors told him he’d never walk again. Warren’s response: “I don’t recall them saying anything about cycling, kayaking, or climbing mountains…” Just ten months later he scaled Cradle Mountain, and in February 2003 Warren became the first double above-knee amputee to reach the summit of Africa’s tallest peak, Mt Kilimanjaro. Born in Melbourne, Australia; Warren lives in Canmore, Alberta (an hour from Calgary, 20 minutes from Banff National Park) in the Canadian Rockies with his partner Margo.  Warren's message of resilience and changing your perception are truly inspiring.  Warren is a keynote speaker and coach.  In this interview we talk about resilience, shifting the way you see the world in order to change the world as well as getting by with what you've got. You can find more on Warren on his website here at: http://www.warren-macdonald.com/

In this episode I share the 2 very different ways my husband and I take rest breaks while bush walking (this video is shot in the stunning – but cold – Cradle Mountain region of Tasmania), and I share how you can use this information to make sure you have the energy to keep on […]

Something that I see a lot is parents hoping that change can happen really quickly for their children. Often, their children have a different idea – they are taking the scenic route! In this episode (shot in the gorgeous Cradle Mountain region of Tasmania, Australia) I share how you can adapt to two very different […]

This week, I am in the beautiful (and very chilly!) Cradle Mountain region in Northwest Tasmania. The hut where I am staying is up *very* steep hill. In this week’s episode I share how I set teeny tiny little goals to get myself to my ultimate goal of reaching the nice warm hut. As always […]

This episode comes to you from the beautiful highland region of Cradle Mountain of Tasmania. I share with you how a map can stop you from getting lost – whether you are bush walking, or are on the path to hep your child learn to communicate. As always I’d love to hear your thoughts on […]

WARREN MACDONALD's life's boundaries were redefined in April 1997 with his accident on North Queensland's (Australia) Hinchinbrook Island. Climbing to the Island's tallest peak, he became trapped beneath a one-ton slab boulder in a freak rock fall. Two days later he was rescued, only to undergo the amputation of both legs at mid thigh. Just ten months later, he climbed Tasmania's Cradle Mountain using a modified wheelchair and the seat of his pants. In February 2003, he became the first double above-knee amputee to reach the summit of Africa's tallest peak, Mt Kilimanjaro (19,222ft), and more recently, in a spectacular effort requiring more than 2,800 pull-ups over 4 days, created history once again in an ascent of America's tallest cliff face, El Capitan.
