Bretonnia is second only in size to that of the Empire among the realms of Men in the Old World, and is both the Empire's chief rival and closest ally, having a culture and society that revolves around the ideals of nobility, a strict social hierarchy based on aristocratic birthright, and the upholding of a strictly enforced code of chivalry.Support the show
This episode explores one of the world's greatest historical collections relating to the golden age of ocean liner travel. To find out more Dr Sam Willis spoke with John Sayers, a man who has dedicated his life to creating the most wonderful collection. In the early 1950s John's parents took him across the Atlantic on the Cunard Line's RMS Franconia eastbound to the UK, and RMS Queen Elizabeth back westbound to America. Shortly after that he came across five souvenir ocean liner lapel pins at a Sunday morning antiques fair and from that moment on his career as a collector began. What started with lapel pins and then souvenir spoons and napkin rings soon moved onto ephemera - printed bits and pieces relating to everyday life on board ship - a crucial source of historic material that helps us reconstruct the lived experience of those aboard, both passengers and crew. That collection, which includes posters, tickets, brochures, sailing schedules, letters written on board, passenger lists, menus, advertising material (the list really is endless) – is now held in the John Johnson collection at the Bodleian Library in Oxford and to illustrate it John has written a fabulous new book: Secrets of the Great Ocean Liners.

We meet the Maori artist who's single-handedly reviving the lost cultural tradition of barkcloth making. As a right-wing conservative government winds back the prevalence of Maori culture and the teaching of Te Reo Maori, Nikau Hindin is collaborating with artists from across the Great Ocean for the Biennale of Sydney. She explains the complexities and risks in trying to breathe new life into a cultural practice after more than a century.My Art Crush …is Lavinia Fontana. National Gallery of Victoria curator Laurie Benson has long been fascinated by Europe's first professional female artist, 16th C. Baroque master Lavinia Fontana. First broadcast February 2022.Nik Pantazopoulos has been revisiting all the significant doors in his life. The artist started the exercise alongside therapy, digging through his memories to capture the flyscreen door of his childhood home, to the intriguing stall door of a train station toilet and the blue door of a cottage on Mykonos. They all represent thresholds in his life. The body of work, Elevation, is on at the 2024 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art.
Stopping Seismic: The Great Ocean Rescue Tour The Great Ocean Rescue Tour to stop seismic blasting in the Otway Basin rolled out across the southwest coast of Victoria over January, organised by OCEAN the Otway Coastal Environment Action Network. From Ocean Grove to Portland people marched, attended film screenings and signed petitions to protest against three proposals for seismic blasting off the southwest coast of Victoria. If all three proposals go ahead an area the size of Tasmania would be affected with a devastating impact on the marine environment. Lisa Deppelertell founder of OCEAN and Mitch Pope, one of the coordinators of the Great Ocean Rescue Tour, tell us why the community is so opposed to seismic blasting in the Otway Basin and the actions being taking to have it stopped. Laurie Laurenson, a marine biologist from the South-West Coast Scientific Group of the Clean Ocean Foundation discusses the Group's response to the Environment Plans submitted to the national regulator NOPSEMA by the three companies proposing to conduct seismic surveys and why they've recommended that they be rejected. Laurie describes the potential impact on the marine environment and how the loss of krill, a keystone species, will effect whales and other marine creatures. To sign the petition or comment on the CGG Environment Plan before midnight Feb 26th, go to the Australian Marine Conservation Society websitehttps://www.marineconservation.org.au/actions/stop-cgg-seismic-blasting-victoria/ MusicOcean by John ButlerUpwelling by Carli Reeve Photo by Great Ocean Photography kindly provided by Mitch Pope Produced by Judith Peppard Earth Matters #1441

It's not often we get to chat with someone whose website banner includes the words "where to find G.O.D" but here we are. Jodi Clarke and husband Greg run Great Ocean Ducks (G.O.D) from their property situated near one of the most famous driving roads in the world - Victoria's great Ocean Road. They began in 2009 with 30 ducklings and no idea about what they were doing , with the couple choosing to farm the Aylesbury Duck for its historical connections. The Aylesbury is the classic English table duck and was wildly popular in the 19th century - and is well known in pop culture with perhaps Jemima Puddleduck from the Beatrix Potter novels probably being the best anthropomorphic example of an Aylesbury. In late 2012 Great Ocean Ducks started rearing Pekin Ducks instead of Aylesbury's (a type of duck, not to be confused with Peking Duck - a Chinese Dish) and started feeding all their ducks strawberries and other fruits. (For anyone interested, Scrooge McDuck being a pop culture example of a pekin).Great Ocean Ducks has gone from strength to strength, with Greg having previously worked as a food journalist they were able to leverage existing relationships and networks to showcase their ducks and that has resulted in their humble product passing the "chef test" and has resulted in them now supplying some of the best restaurants in Australia. These restaurants include Brae, Du Fermier, Attica and Movida. Just Duck, a book featuring recipes from acclaimed chefs and stories of their farming adventure, was written in 2015.We chat with Jodi about starting a farm with no idea (her words not ours), the demands of Duck Farming, the "hardest workers on the farm"; their Malamute livestock guardians as well as the farm gate premises that G.O.D are building.

UPON THIS ROCK, WE BUILD While listening to the recounting of our Thanksgiving memorial as a nation, these few thoughts dropped in my spirit that I want to share today about the founding of this great nation we live in. As our forefathers came to this land, several major miracles made the difference between success and failure. First, we are the only nation founded as a Christian nation based upon the laws of God and the Bible from its inception. We are the only nation where rulership is from the bottom up, not the top down. This is what our Bill of Rights and Constitution means: the people have a voice regarding who is in charge and who will lead us. Another central foundation stone in this nation is property rights, with a legal paper proving to the officials that we own this land we live on. Another unique thing was that each person could get involved in a free market, trading and making a profit for themselves. All these things were not true in the other nations the people came from. Yet God provided us a place to plant seeds of freedom that might grow into a tree big enough to bless the world. The first two miracles that stood out to me in the early days are so identified with God's timing that they can't be denied. The ones who founded Jamestown in Virginia came near starvation in the first year because they did not plant crops to eat through the winter. They ended up eating rats, dung, and shoelaces, so the historians tell us. When the winner had ended, they packed their ship up, having given up on the founding of Jamestown, and headed for home. With all practical understanding, this experiment was over. As they got to the mouth of the Potomac River, heading into the Great Ocean, they met another ship from England with all the supplies they needed and people to help them. Only in a two-hour window of time did God perform a miracle. Did Jamestown become the founding city of that region? The second miracle is even more impressive of God's timing and planning. It concerns the founding of the New England area with the pilgrims. The Native American Indian that God had pre-arranged to be the one to save them from starvation and conflict with the neighboring native tribes is a miracle story in itself. Years before he was taken captive as an enslaved person, back to England, a group of monks purchased him and taught him English and Spanish and how to read and write. Then, they gave him his freedom, and he came back to his native land, joining himself in the neighboring tribe. He was the one who walked into their camp one day, speaking English, teaching them about the seeds that would grow best, and negotiating peace with the tribes that were around. Because of God's timing, the founding of this nation took seed. We are definitely built on the rock Christ Jesus. YOU CAN GIVE HERE: http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co...

Jeremy Black's A Brief History of the Pacific: The Great Ocean (Robinson, 2023) succeeds in examining both the indigenous presence on ocean's islands and Western control or influence over the its islands and shores. There is a particular focus on the period from the 1530s to 1890 with its greater Western coastal and oceanic presence in the Pacific, beginning with the Spanish takeover of the coasts of modern Central America, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, and continuing with the Spaniards in the Philippines. There is also an emphasis on the very different physical and human environments of the four quadrants of the Pacific - the north-east, the north-west, the south-east and the south-west - and of the 'coastal' islands, that is the Aleutians, Japan and New Zealand, and continental coastlines. The focus is always on the interactions of Japan, California, Peru, Australia and other territories with the ocean, notably in terms of trade, migration and fishing. Black looks first at the geology, currents, winds and physical make-up of the Pacific, then the region's indigenous inhabitants to 1520. He describes the Pacific before the arrival of Europeans, its history of settlement, navigation methods and religious practices. From Easter Island, the focus shifts to European voyages, from Magellan to Cook and Tasman, the problems they faced, not least the sheer scale of the ocean. Black looks at the impact of these voyages on local people, including the Russians in the Aleutian Islands. Outside control of the region grew from 1788 to 1898. The British laid claim to Australia and America to the Phillipines. Western economic and political impact manifested in sandalwood and gold rushes, and the coming of steamships accelerated this impact. Territorial claims spread through Willis, Perry and the Americans, including to Hawaii. Black looks at the Maori wars in New Zealand and the War of the Pacific on the South American coast. Christian missionary activity increased, and Gaugin offered a different vision of the Pacific. 1899 to 1945 marked the struggle of empires: the rise of Japan as an oceanic power, and the Second World War in the Pacific as a critical moment in world history. Oil-powered ships ushered in the American Age, from 1945 to 2015, bringing the end of the British Pacific. France had a continued role, in Tahiti and New Caledonia, but America had become the dominant presence. Black explores the political, economic and cultural impacts of, for example, Polynesians attending universities in America and Australasia; the spread of rugby; and relatively little international tension, although some domestic pressures remained, including instability in Papua New Guinea and Fiji. The book ends with a look at the Pacific's future: pressures from industrial fishing, pollution and climate change; the rise of drug smuggling; greater Chinese influence leading to conflict with America and Australasia - the Pacific is once again on the frontline of military planning. But the Pacific's future also includes tourism, from Acapulco to Hawaii, and from Tahiti to Cairns. Learn more about your ad choices.

Victoria's TarraWarra Biennial is underway until mid-July, featuring works curated by Dr Léuli Eshrāghi, focusing on the interconnectedness of the peoples of Australia, Asia, and the Great Ocean. The exhibition is titled 'ua usiusi faʻavaʻasavili', a Sāmoan proverb which means ‘the canoe obeys the wind'. The proverb is demonstrative of Great Ocean celestial navigation practices, following centuries of European and Asian colonial occupations. This episode features Dr Eshrāghi discussing the exhibition, their background, and identifying new trends in contemporary Australian art. A transcript of this interview is available for download HERE. The transcriptions are made possible by support from the Australian Arts Channel.

I released a new ambient, instrumental album called "Meditations on Shiva". Each track is dedicated to an aspect of Shiva and features improvisations on one of my instruments over a low drone sound. Inspiration came from the poems of the great Indian sage Utpaladeva. It is perfect accompaniment for gentle/slow yoga or movement practice. Also great for listening while doing work, meditation or driving. The tracks were mixed and mastered by DJ Drez, who also made the cover art. As an independent artist, I rely on support of friends to help spread the word. It would make me very happy if you check it out, save the album to your library, put a few of the tracks on your playlists and/or share a story with one of your tracks. Thank you for your continued support. I hope you this music brings you joy.

The Beach is back! Dr Beach looks at mesocosm predictions of what marine life might be like in elevated CO2 future.Then we catch up with Dr Surf to talk about what surfers do when they can’t go surfing. This could get interesting.

We'll talk with Mick about creativity during a pandemic, the very exciting long awaited ‘Lost Eighth’ edition of Great Ocean Quarterly in preparation, and getting some big blasts of saltiness that we all need right now.

We’ll catch up with James Dingley in Perth who is going into battle for our oceans in this fantastic National Science Week event.

"I was thinking a lot about what an art museum of Indigenous moving image work from this region, the Great Ocean and all its shores would look like and how it would feel. And to use the words that we have in English, how do you archive living knowledge of bodies? How do you go beyond shame? How do you bring all these things together?" - Dr Léuli Eshrāghi Dr Léuli Eshrāghi is an artist, curator, writer, and researcher from the Samoan archipelago and Persian ancestries. Léuli's creative practice is based around performance, installation and curatorial projects primarily working with the body, language, ceremony and positive futures for First Nations peoples and cultures, in addition to regularly featuring in publications and contributing to the Aboriginal Curatorial Collective (Canada) on the board. In this episode of NAVA: In Conversation, Georgia and Léuli chat about global First Peoples collaboration, language, display culture and improving our First Nations leadership in institutions in Australia.

We continue with part 3 of 'Hey Aunty! Why are we like this?' with the wonderful Léuli Eshrāghi (ia, ū pronouns). Léuli is an artist, curator, writer from the Sāmoan archipelago, Pārs plateau, Guangdong delta, and other ancestries. Ia makes performances, installations, writing and curatorial projects centred on embodied knowledges, ceremonial-political practices, language renewal and Indigenous futures throughout the Great Ocean and further afield through expanded kinships. And yet Léuli faces challenges and criticisms that many of us fear in stepping forward within community. Shantel and Léuli share their mutual fear of being called out as an imposter by their own. If you’ve ever feared being told you aren’t black/fem/indigenous, hell anything enough... We hope you’ll find this powerful chat as freeing and affirming as we did

The Pancatattva Ritual is an ancient ritual known in India whose goal is the transformation of substances into higher energies. Panca is a Sanskrit word that means five, and tattva is a Sanskrit word that means truth, suchness, true being; We understand that a tattva is a vibration of the Ether, which in its place is a transformation or vibration of Prana or Solar Light. Pancatattva refers to five vibrations or five types of energy, harnessed by those who want to merge into the highest forces of the universe. Lecture quote: "From the point of view of Gnosis, in fact, in any real spiritual tradition, we understand that everything that exists has its origin in the womb of the Divine Mother. That womb is a vastness, an emptiness we call the Akash or Akasha. It is a primordial substance, but it is also not a substance. You could say it is “undifferentiated matter,” but it is before matter. It is called Mulaprakriti, which is the great womb of Divine Mother space, and from that womb arises everything that exists, everything that manifests. So, in synthesis, we are saying that all atoms, all matter, all energy in its root is derived from this womb. The womb of the Divine Mother space is symbolized in the Book of Genesis as the primordial waters. Likewise, in many other traditions we have the Great Ocean or the Great Waters from which life emerges; and you have this tradition in Hinduism and in various traditions in central and South America. Those waters are feminine and they are the raw material or the raw source of all manifestation." Read the lecture transcription.
