Podcasts about Flinders Island

There's a little island off the North East tip of Tasmania call Flinders Island and that beautiful secluded island is home to an amazing Whisky Distillery called Furneaux Distillery.This episode we get to Talk to Tom Ambroz who is part owner and Head distiller there. It's an interesting story about how this all started and basically by chance how Tom got involved but it's a certainly a great discussion and even better whisky to sample.If you get a chance we hope you can sit and listen with a dram in a comfortable chair, but of course you can listen almost anywhere, wherever you listen we trust you will enjoy the Banter over Whisky. If you have any feedback, ideas or questions for the Banter crew please feel free to contact us on Instagram, Facebook or email banteroverwhiskypodcast@gmail.com Or chase up one of the crew with Adrian @that_whisky_place, Brad @banter_over_whisky and Vic @vic.whiskey

Writer Geraldine Brooks on love, grief and letting go after her husband died in a shocking and unexpected way.In 2019, Australian writer Geraldine Brooks was forced into a world of practicalities when her beloved husband, Tony, collapsed on the street in the United States and died.She had to immediately manage finances and family life, organise a funeral and work out what had happened for Tony to so suddenly and unexpectedly die.As time went by, Geraldine realised she had never let herself properly grieve his loss and the loss of their imagined future together.So she rented a shack on Flinders Island in the Bass Strait to face what had happened, to reflect on their big, itinerant life together, and to finally feel peace again.This episode of Conversations explores grief, grieving a loved one, death, how to cope with an unexpected death, marriage, death of a spouse, letting go, origin stories, love stories, relationships, writing, books, America, Australia, politics, journalism, war correspondence, Syria, Israel, Iran, Palestine.Memorial Days is published by Penguin Random House.

Music written and performed by Katherine Camp   Transcript  (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops) Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. This episode continues echidnas and the second thing I like about this monotreme is their habitat. We talked a little bit about this in the first episode, but I want to dig a bit deeper into where each species is found. We know they are from Australia and surrounding areas but let's look at exactly what kind of habitat they prefer. The short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeates) is Australia's most widespread native mammal. It is common throughout most of temperate Australia and lowland New Guinea. They can be found in Tasmania, King Island, Flinders Island, and Kangaroo Island.  Almost every kind of habitat can be home to these shy creatures. Snow-covered mountains, montane forests, desert habitat, and even urban environments are home to the short-beaked echidna. The main requirement for echidna friendly habitat is a way to help keep them sheltered in extreme weather. They also tend to favor areas with soil that's easy to dig into, but they are great diggers so they can survive with tougher soil. The eastern long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bartoni), also known as, Barton's long-beaked echidna is found in New Guinea. It'  s found in the Central Cordillera and in Huon Peninsula. They inhabit tropical hill forests, sub-alpine forests, upland grasslands, and scrub. They are mainly found in the eastern half of New Guinea at elevations from 6,600 feet to 9,800 feet or 2 to 3 thousand meters. Some have even been seen as high as 13,000 feet or 4,100 meters.  This species of echidna has long, dense fur with spines sprinkled throughout. Their thick fur helps keep them warm in colder weather. They have five long claws on their front feet and four on their back feet. These echidnas lack a tail, unlike the short-beaked echidna. According to a scientific study published in the Journal of Mammalogy in 2009, males of Zaglossus bartoni are smaller than females. Eastern long-beaked echidnas are typically found in dense vegetation and underground burrows. The western long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bruijnii) is found in the Bird's Head peninsula and Foja Mountains of West Papua and Papua provinces. They are endemic to the Vogelkop region of New Guinea including the Arfak, Tamrau, Fak Fak, possibly the Charles Louis Mountains, as well as island of Salawati. They prefer alpine meadows and humid montane forests.  Sir David's Long-beaked echidna, named after the famous naturalist and wild animal advocate David Attenborough, is found in only one area, and as I mentioned in the first episode all we have to go on with this species is a specimen captured in the 1960's. We know where they live because we see the evidence of their existence. Holes in the ground called nose pokes are indicative of echidna activity. In 2007, an expedition to the Cyclops Mountains of Indonesia in the region of Papua recorded nose pokes and received information from locals about the existence of this echidna. They did not see a live echidna  but they were hopeful that reports were correct and the animal still lived. Because we'd thought it was extinct.  Here's the really exciting information about Sir David's long-beaked echidna. An expedition in 2023 to the Cyclops mountain caught video evidence of a live Zaglossus attenboroughi on a remote camera trap. It was the last day of the expedition and they had seen nose pokes in previously reported areas, but once again they thought they'd get no visual conformation until….there ii was waddling along triggering the camera to record video of its existence! We thought they were extinct for 60 years and researchers had rediscovered them!  It's very exciting. This species is found only in the Cyclops Mountains in tropical montane moss forest of the extreme northern Papua Province. There is the possibility that they may be in nearby regions but those areas have yet to be adequately surveyed. With definitive proof of Sir David's long-beaked echidna in the Cyclops Mountains maybe we can branch out and survey nearby areas.  As I was reading the scientific paper in the Journal of Mammalogy (yes, I just admitted to reading scientific papers) about the home ranges, movement, and den use of Zaglossus bartoni, I realized that I neglected to talk about a few interesting characteristics of echidnas in the first episode. I'm going to include them here. First I completely forgot to mention that echidnas have spurs. All species have spurs on their back legs. Both males and females have these spurs on their back legs, but some females loose them as they age. Both extant monotremes, the platypus and the echidna, have spurs. In platypus only the males have spurs and the substance that the spur excrete is a venom. The echidna's spurs excrete something completely different. Echina spurs act more like a scent gland. It is used during breeding season to excrete a waxy substance that may be used to locate potential mates. The second interesting fact about echidnas is that at one time there were only two species of echidna. The short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna. Upon further examination, scientists determined that there were three distinct species of long-beaked echidna. In 1998 researchers reported differences in skull morphology, body size, fur coloration, and the number of clawed toes on the front and back feet. The differences were significant enough that scientists decided that the long-beaked echidnas should be separated into three species. On this note, there is some thinking that the eastern long-beaked echidna may be divided again into more species, but research is still on going.   That's all for echidna habitats, I'm glad you listened to this episode because where echidnas live is my second favorite thing about them. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.    Join me next week for another episode about echidnas.       (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

In this episode we hear from legendary Tassie trail runner, David Bailey.  A number of previous guests have referred David to the podcast because he's such a genuine, all round lovely bloke full of running wisdom.  After a motor cycle accident when he was a teenager David was left with a lymphatic condition that caused one leg to be larger than the other.  Running helped reduce the swelling in the leg and after 5 or so years, although still a bit of a mystery, the condition receded!  You could say running saved his life :)  Since this time running has become a way of life for David - most lunch times you can find him escaping the confines of his lawyers office and exploring the foot hills of Mt Kunanyi.   David is one of Tassie's best trail runners and has a number of personal running goals in his sights.  He loves to stay as fit as possible so he can jump into events as they come up, rather than training for one big event.   Apart from running David is also a husband, a lawyer, running coach and an Island boy (he grew up on Flinders Island :) ).   David's Tips - Ask yourself “why do you want to run?”, then implementing the next steps will be clearer, do some reading about running (to get some foundations), talk to more experienced people, join a running group and become educated in running.  Find out what works for you and make sure your goals are realistic so that you'll enjoy it.   https://fitmindfitbody.co/podcast/

Australian farming families can diversify their incomes, increase productivity and profit from strong climate policy, according to a new report from economic consultants Ernst & Young, and Flinders Island beef farmer Felicity Richards says she is taking some ideas from the recent conference in Launceston back to the farm to limit the effects of climate change

It is my pleasure to welcome James Madden, CEO of Flinders + Co to the Marcus Oldham AgTalk Podcast. Flinders + Co is a premium food production and distribution company founded in 2010 by James father David Madden. As the name suggest it is based on Flinders Island which is situated in the Bass Strait just off the northeast coast of Tasmania. As started, James is the CEO which makes him responsible for the day to day operations of the company. He oversees brand design, marketing and sales strategy, and production and process improvements. He was responsible for the purchase, renovation, and initial production of the company's abattoir on Flinders Island Flinders + Co started by using a direct distribution model into Victoria that has grown into a successful stand alone operation. James describes himself as a jack of many trades and a master of none. His childhood was spent on the farm, adolescence in the suburbs, and his early adulthood in the city. He first studied to be a pilot, and his first job was in a sheep skin salting shed. In 2018 James changed the identity of the company from Flinders Island Meat to Flinders + Co (the reason why we will be discussing). He describes the business as a purpose driven organization with a vision he is proud of which is “To Cultivate a Better Food World”. Also on 1st Dec 2018, Flinders + Co became the first meat company in the world, to fully offset all carbon emissions from not only their business, but every kilogram of meat they sell. He said to me, "We've got no idea what we're doing, but we are learning and trying to do our best at every step of the way" which makes him an ideal guest for the podcast.

Nicholas, today's guest, explains Australia has no war hero more impressive than Tongerlongeter. Leader of the Oyster Bay nation of south-east Tasmania in the 1820s and '30s, he and his allies led the most effective frontier resistance ever mounted on Australian soil. They killed or wounded some 354 – or 4 per cent – of the invaders of their country. Tongerlongeter's brilliant campaign inspired terror throughout the colony, forcing Governor George Arthur to launch a massive military operation in 1830 – the infamous Black Line. Tongerlongeter escaped but the cumulative losses had taken their toll. On New Year's Eve 1831, having lost his arm, his country, and all but 25 of his people, the chief agreed to an armistice. In exile on Flinders Island, this revered warrior united most of the remnant tribes and became the settlement's ‘King' – a beacon of hope in a hopeless situation. Nicholas Clements completed his PhD at the University of Tasmania in 2013. His research explores traditional Tasmanian Aboriginal culture, and the conflict between Aborigines and settlers on the Tasmanian frontier between 1803-1842. He has written two books on this subject: The Black War: Fear, Sex and Resistance in Tasmania (UQP, 2014) and, with Henry Reynolds, Tongerlongeter: First Nations Leader and Tasmanian War Hero (NewSouth, 2021). Bede Haines is a solicitor, specialising in litigation and a partner at Holding Redlich, an Australian commercial law firm. He lives in Sydney, Australia.

When Glover arrived in Hobart in 1831, the thirty-year conflict between the Tasmanian Aborigines and the European settlers was nearing an end. During this time George Augustus Robinson – the appointed Protector of Aborigines – had been relocating the majority of two hundred Indigenous people to Flinders Island. Only two months before he left Hobart for his new property of Patterdale in northern Tasmania, Glover made two group portraits showing twenty-six members of the Big River and Oyster Bay Aboriginal tribes before their transfer to Flinders Island. They became the subject of a number of significant paintings. Painted in 1832, the year of his move to Patterdale, A corrobery of natives in Mills Plains is Glover’s finest and probably earliest Aboriginal subject. Although the artist’s sketchbook contains a corroboree drawing for this landscape, he could not possibly have seen such an event on his property. As there were probably no Aborigines left in the area and certainly not enough to engage in a corroboree, the gathering is painted from his memory as well as his Hobart sketches. Of the artist’s numerous Aboriginal landscapes this is his first and his most moving and haunting, with its revelations of Glover’s sympathy for the departed Tasmanian Aborigines. Here he depicts an imagined re-creation of a corroboree within a romantic setting. The giant native tree, silhouetted against the sky, is bent and dying as the sun sinks, and so becomes a metaphor for the fate of the ancient race. Eight dancing and standing men holding spears, five seated women, two children and what appears to be an infant are gathered beneath the towering eucalypt. Dwarfed beneath the gum they appear almost to be ghosts of a former civilisation. Although Glover has taken possession of the land, it is not without some sense of guilt. And certainly, the theme of dispossession haunted Glover for the rest of his life as he re-created at least twenty such landscapes with Aborigines. Glover’s Patterdale paintings are ultimately based on the landscape devices of Claude Lorrain, Gaspard Dughet and, particularly, Jacob van Ruisdael. But in A corrobery of natives in Mills Plains the mysterious and ominous mood of the painting emulates the wildly romantic landscapes of Salvator Rosa and his depictions of wind-blasted trees and banditti (Italian outlaws). Finally the dusky and lurid sky echoes the highly romantic evening landscapes of Glover’s fellow countryman Joseph Wright of Derby. Though this is probably the first oil painting depicting Tasmanian Aborigines, Glover’s artistic forerunners in New South Wales had already painted night corroborees. Given the demise of the eighteenth-century concept of the ‘noble savage’ – which presented native people in light-filled arcadian paradises – it is not surprising that these images placed Indigenous peoples in a more ominous night light. Dances and ceremonies were presented as curious and heathenish while Indigenous people were represented as something to be feared and civilised by Christianity. Even so, the European settler’s envy is also expressed at their apparently happy and non-materialistic life. A corrobery of natives in Mills Plains can be seen as Glover’s valediction to a dying race. Traditions of European landscape art, romantic notions of the noble savage and his own Christian confidence in the face of paganism, enrich his melancholy testimony to the passing of a lively Aboriginal civilisation.
