The Great Dingo Debate by Andrea Dixon In our first story, Andrea shares her love for Taz, a rescued dingo living on her family’s property in Hawkesbury, Darug country. As tensions rise between farmers, conservationists, and First Nations communities, the dingo emerges as a symbol of both conflict and kinship. Through cultural advocacy and calls for legislative change, Andrea and many others envision a future of respectful coexistence with dingoes. ‘Wild is not something to be feared’.

Kevin Sweeney was one of those ever reliable jockeys who did his job with total dedication for an amazing 46 years. Had it not been for a high spirited horse dumping him at a Nowra meeting in 2015, he may well have pushed on for a bit longer. Kev spent the bulk of his career at Canberra and on southern districts tracks, where he forged strong associations with many stables. Despite a few current health issues the seventy year old pays us the honour of joining the podcast for a good, old fashioned trip down memory lane. Kev begins by revisiting the occasion of his last race ride when he was unceremoniously dumped by a quirky horse. He recalls a winning treble at Wagga just two days earlier. Kevin talks about his move to the far NSW south coast, and the health issues he's been battling for the last four years. He remains philosophical. The former respected jockey takes us back to childhood days, and the love he received from his single mum and a doting grandfather. He's never forgotten the day his family took him to Randwick races. He's happy to admit that his aversion to school brought much grief to his mother Grace. Kevin remembers his apprenticeship to Reg Cook, brother of Bill and uncle of Peter. He shares his memories of the famous Cook family. He remembers his first two wins on a horse trained by Reg Cook. Both wins were at Hawkesbury. Kevin has never forgotten his first city win. His second metropolitan success figured in a little piece of racing history. The  veteran takes us back to Reg Cook's move to Canberra in the early 70's. He talks about a switch of stables to Terry Rutzo who would become a staunch supporter. He explains the reasons for his sudden relocation to Wyong at the invitation of local trainer Ron Tilley.  Back in Canberra Kevin forged a great association with trainer Keith Dryden. He believes he rode 220 winners for the Dryden stable. Sweeney reflects on his association with talented Dryden trained mares Coolroom Candidate and Bacchanal Woman. He went to NZ with Bacchanal Woman. He acknowledges another Dryden runner De Lightning Ridge. He won four races on the mare including two in the city.  The dedicated jockey pays rightful homage to the ageless gelding Digger Stakas. He rode the veteran on many occasions, and actually gave him a home in his twilight years. Kevin fondly remembers 13 wins on the consistent Comanche Prince. He talks about his long association with the John Morrisey stable with special mention of an AJC Country Cup win on China Garden.  Kevin remembers another ride on China Garden which landed him in hot water. He was given three months by the stewards for an unsatisfactory ride. Sweeney's commitment to country racing deprived him of opportunities in feature races. He says he was 49 before he won a decent race.  He looks back on the days when he was the “go-to” jockey for bush trainers who were bringing their horses to Canberra meetings. He tells the story of a win on a plunge horse at Canberra trained by a man destined to reach dizzy heights on the turf. Kevin reflects on his good fortune when it came to injuries. He and partner Michelle were the parents of three boys. He says only one has made a career in racing. The former jockey pays tribute to later partner Libby who's doing a great job on the Keith Dryden team. Libby is close to commencing a new role in the stable. This is an overdue acknowledgment of a long and distinguished riding career.

Five years ago Scott Singleton found that he was spending much more time on the road to country race meetings than he was at city and provincial meetings. He made the snap decision to put his hand up when boxes became available at Scone. Nowadays he has easy access to any number of country meetings, and an easy run to Sydney when the right horse comes along. Scott says relocating an entire training operation from Hawkesbury was pretty taxing. He admits there was an emotional downside to leaving his much loved Hawkesbury Valley. Scott says he explored options in Victoria before settling on Scone. He says he and wife Lucy were lucky to stumble upon an ideal property on the outskirts of Scone. Scott explains that most of his team are on course, but says some horses are happier on the property. He says a good camaraderie exists between Scone trainers. The experienced horseman takes us back to childhood days when his maternal grandfather got him interested in thoroughbreds. He recalls his transition to Hawkesbury trackwork and the former bush jockey who tutored him in the skills of riding racehorses. Scott says he dreamed of becoming a jockey but his build and weight eliminated that possibility. Encouraged by his grandfather Scott opted to do the next best thing and apply for an amateur licence. He looks back on a brief stint at the picnics and the two winners he can now dine out on. Scott says his brother Dean was also an active picnic rider. Dean kept going for some time after Scott's retirement. He pays a heartfelt tribute to his English born wife Lucy, daughter of a Wiltshire jumps trainer and an outstanding rider in her own right. The trainer talks of Lucy's current role in the operation. He talks of son and daughter Jack and Zoe and the things that interest the pair. Scott talks of his magical first win with Reginald at Bathurst in 2006. He talks with mixed feelings about the talented but quirky Shazee Lee who caused him many a headache during her racing career. Scott acknowledges the talents of a few handy horses who've helped to get him on the road. He looks back on a unique two state double in 2013. Scott remembers the brilliant but single minded Partners who never learned to conserve his energy. He was a horse without brakes. He talks about a handful of handy horses likely to win some races in the near future. Scott speaks highly of stable apprentice Mitch Stapleford, grandson of recently retired training maestro Albert Stapleford. The trainer pays tribute to two valued work riders. One of them recently quit the race riding ranks, the other continues to be a very capable jockey. Scott says he still helps out with trackwork. He acknowledges the talents of one of his “go-to” jockeys Mikayla Weir. It's a laid back chat with a top horseman who wishes he'd made the move to the Hunter Valley long before he did.

[Repost] The Hawkesbury is a massive estuary system within easy reach of Sydney and offers some pretty amazing fishing. The plethora of natural structure that holds jewfish means anglers have no shortage of options for getting onto this prime sportfish. Dan Selby of Sydney Sportfishing Adventures has been taking clients onto the Hawkesbury in search of jewfish for nine years - and he's seen and caught a lot of jew in that time. In Episode 88 he unloads a ton of great tips about finding fish, picking tides, choosing the right tackle and lures.... and plenty more.

Champion jockey talks about talks about his chances at Hawkesbury & Randwick this week

Shaun Guymer made the decision a few seasons back to  follow in the footsteps of Sydney based jockeys like Grant Buckley and Jeff Penza who've enjoyed fruitful careers away from the metropolitan area. Like Penza and Buckley, Shaun sees more sense in having five or six rides on a southern districts track than pushing a 100/1 “pop”around in town. The popular jockey talks about his current workload and his acceptance of the endless travel required to meet “bush” commitments. He talks about the predicament of having offers at two meetings on the same day. Shaun says he agonises over the offer of a good ride in town from time to time. He hates to disappoint regular clients in the bush. He talks about distances to his usual venues. The jockey pays tribute to Jeff Penza and Grant Buckley. He greatly admires the longtime dedication of the veterans. Shaun says his family background is devoid of racing. He talks of his father's glazing business, and the support of his mother and sibling Josh. The jockey looks back on his initial work experience with top Goulburn horseman Danny Williams. He was later apprenticed to Williams. Shaun looks back on a transfer of his indentures to Canberra trainer Mark Schmetzer who became a valued friend and tutor. He's never forgotten his very first race ride. The horse was trained by Keith Dryden but failed to flatter at any stage. Shaun's first winning ride at Queanbeyan remains etched in his memory. The horse was trained by Rex Cole. Guymer had a long wait before his first city winner came along. The horse was trained by Jarrod Austin and started at cricket score odds.   He's very proud of a Canberra apprentices premiership.   Shaun looks back on a three month loan out to Randwick trainer Kevin Moses. He says Moses rode work with him most mornings.   He says he thoroughly enjoyed his time with Stephen Farley at Wyong.   The 31 year old looks back on a brief association with Chris Waller who utilised his claim on a couple of talented horses.   Shaun remembers with gratitude a valuable stint with Peter Moody not long after Black Caviar had departed the stable.   He's never forgotten a Caulfield win on a smart Moody trained mare.   The jockey looks back on a bout of depression after completing his apprenticeship. He lost his way as the opportunities diminished, but found a way to get back on track.   He talks admiringly of his wife Emma, daughter of Hawkesbury trainer Tim Walsh.   Shaun was gobsmacked when offered an opportunity by high profile trainer Tony McEvoy who had opened a satellite stable at Hawkesbury. He speaks highly of the multiple Group 1 winning trainer.   He talks of a move to the former Lindsay Park in South Australia when McEvoy's Sydney base was closed.   Shaun has nothing but fond memories of his association with Richard Freedman who'd made the decision to train in his own right at Rosehill. They won numerous races together.   The jockey looks back on a freakish incident at Nowra in 2018. His mount Ahmad literally got off the ground to win a BM 58. The footage went viral on social media.   He talks of a Wagga Guineas win on Lion's Roar beating a future Kosciuszko winner.    Shaun expresses appreciation for the support he receives from trainers in the southern region. He makes special mention of Natalie Jarvis.   He talks of a rare trip he made recently to Newcastle. It was worth the trouble.   Shaun says Emma closely watches his rides on the Sky service.   You can hear the “proud dad” element as he talks about three and a half year old son Fletcher.   It's a laid back chat with a very talented jockey who drives thousands of kilometres to ply his trade.

Many experienced owners speak highly of Newcastle's Jason Deamer who resists the temptation to increase the size of his stable. In twenty years of training, the third generation horseman has rarely exceeded twelve horses. His winners and strike rate have remained constant for all of that time. We caught up with the former jockey recently to look back on his racing life. Jason begins by reviewing four consecutive recent wins by the very talented Hard To Say. He talks of his association with Dynamic Syndications who put together an all female syndicate to race Hard To Say. The third generation horseman talks of a recent hit and run trip to Doomben with another Dynamic horse Awesome Lad. Jason says his Newcastle stables have been in the family for many years. He talks of his father John Deamer who enjoyed success as a jockey and trainer before going into the horse transport business. Jason reflects on the riding achievements of his grandfather Carl Deamer who passed away in 2006. Despite his strong pedigree Jason says he had little interest in becoming a jockey in his early years.  He recalls weighing only 42 kgs when he made his riding debut in 1990. Jason vividly recalls his first winning ride at Newcastle on a horse with a strong family connection. He looks back on a brief stint with Tiger Holland and Betty Lane at Randwick. The forty seven year old recalls opportunities he declined from some high profile stables. He looks back on the decision to join the Denham stable at Rosehill. He was actually apprenticed to Allan Denham, but inevitably came under the influence of the legendary Jack. Jason remembers a Rosehill win on Fitting in the Geoff and Beryl White colours. He wore the same colours on Jetball, the horse he says was the best he rode during his time with the Denham stable. He has fond memories of a Hawkesbury win on Sword for syndicator Shelley Hancox. After quitting the saddle he got to take the same horse to Adelaide for two important races. Sword won both. Jason was chuffed a few months ago when the recently retired Allan Denham sent him a horse to train. On leaving the Denham family Jason returned to Newcastle where he became a full time trackwork rider for the late Max Lees. He looks back on a fleeting comeback to race riding. Jason tells the story of his association with owner/trainer David Throsby who was struggling to get work riders at Cessnock. He looks back on an exciting trip to the Gold Coast with Lovely Jubly. The filly won the Magic Millions. Jason remembers a second trip to Queensland with the grey filly. This time she won two Gr 1's. He was later given the opportunity to train Lovely Jubly in his own right. He recalls the excitement of a near miss in a Gr 1 at Rosehill. The Newcastle horseman acknowledges some of the handy horses who've helped him along the way. Jason pays tribute to a few of his favourite jockeys. He talks of Decroux, the very first horse he got to train for Dynamic Syndications. Jason talks of three adult children from his first marriage- Jordan, Montana and Jenson. He and wife Tanya are the proud parents of eight year old Jackson who gets special mention in our podcast. Great to catch up with a highly regarded trainer.

Caught up with Brian Fletcher at the recent Beauford Club luncheon at Newcastle where he was a guest speaker. His tales of the turf and stories from the Panthers camp kept the crowd entertained. It occurred to me at the time that Brian would make an excellent podcast guest. He happily agreed and here it is! Brian begins by reflecting on an amazing third straight premiership win by his beloved Panthers. He says he'd just about given up before Nathan Cleary began to weave some magic. As CEO of the Panthers Group, Brian talks about his association with Matt Cameron CEO of the Penrith Football Club, coach Ivan Cleary and the players. He talks of Ivan Cleary's triumphant return to the Panthers after a stint with the Wests Tigers. Brian looks ahead to the 2024 season and the likelihood of another premiership. He talks of his board involvement with Panthers before accepting the CEO's role, and his lifetime passion for the game of rugby league. He says his association with rugby league administration began in the days when Panthers became involved in Hawkesbury race sponsorship. Brian talks of his day to day role as CEO of the Panthers Group. He talks of early days at Coonamble where he was born in 1953 and where he learned the importance of work ethic from his parents. He talks of other notable natives of Coonamble to make their marks in racing. Brian looks back on jobs with the State Bank, the Coonamble Golf Club and the Shire Council. During his time with the State Bank he received a very worrying health scare. He looks back on his first racing experience as Honorary Treasurer of the cash strapped Coonamble Jockey Club. He remains deeply humbled by the Jockey Club's gesture in lending his name to the racecourse grandstand.  Brian reflects on the dawn of his new career as CEO of the Hawkesbury Race Club which was also in financial strife in 1989. He takes us through the amazing list of innovations and initiatives he was able to generate in his 28 years at Hawkesbury. He had a long battle before being able to announce the introduction of the first provincial stand alone Saturday meeting in Australia. Perhaps this was the achievement to give him the most pleasure. Brian recalls another unlikely project he was able to get off the ground- the construction of a motel on Hawkesbury Race Club property. He pays heartfelt tribute to the key people whose friendship and consultation influenced his career. Brian nominates the racehorse he believes is the best he's seen in action on the historic Clarendon course. The administrative dynamo pays heartfelt tribute to wife Wendy and daughters Sonya and Adele.  Brian Fletcher will turn 70 on Xmas Day 2023. He outlines plans for the future. This is a rousing yarn with one of the most successful sports administrators of his generation.

In episode 3 of Definitely Baby's VBAC mini-series, three wonderful women share their journeys to VBAC. As the stories can attest, there is so much power in equipping yourself with evidence-based information and knowledge throughout your pregnancy, especially if you're planning a VBAC. There is so many great resources and podcasts you can gather this information, and I truly believe that the power of listening to other people's journeys to VBAC is one of the best and most empowering and encouraging forms of knowledge we can equip ourselves with. For anyone also on their VBAC journey, I hope these stories empower and encourage you. For anyone not on their VBAC journey, I hope you enjoy listening to the magic of these beautiful birth stories.  Story 1: Rachel Rachel is a mother of 2 who lives on Worimi Country, in the country town of Stroud, NSW. She lives with her husband Matt, 3 year old Connor and 12 week old baby, Eleanor. Rachel had her first birth whilst living in the Northern Beaches of Sydney in 2020, right in the middle of Covid. Through a classic cascade of interventions (induction, epidural, “failure to progress”) Connor was born via c-section at 41+5. Fast forward to 2023 and her daughter Eleanor was born via a beautifully empowering, drug free and largely pain free, VBAC. Birthing in a public hospital, with a fragmented model of care, she had to advocate hard for herself. By learning everything she could about VBACs and gathering an epic birth team, she was able to achieve a beautiful physiological birth with minimal interventions.  The full version of Rachel's birth stories will feature as one of the first episodes of the soon-to-be launched Australian VBAC Stories podcast. Check out the Australian VBAC Stories podcast's instagram page here. Story 2: Catherine Catherine lives with her partner Drew and boys Wilbur 4.5 yes and Percy 17 months, on the Surf Coast.  In her first Pregnancy, Catherine was part of the MGP program at the public hospital. Despite focusing on maternal positioning throughout the pregnancy, Wilbur was posterior and his head wasn't engaged. At 11 days over Catherine agreed to be induced, due to concerns around the his size. At 42 weeks Wilbur was born via caesarean, as his head never engaged. In between Wilbur and Percy's births Catherine had 2 early births, which, combined with the cesearean birth, impacted Catherine's confidence and trust in her body.  Catherine chose to birth with the Birth House midwives for Percy's pregnancy, and engage a supportive birth doula. During this time Catherine prepared herself mentally, physically and emotionally for a HBAC. Catherine went into labour at 11 days ‘overdue' and had an empowering, healing waterbirth at home.  The full version of Catherine's birth stories are included in an episode of the Australian Birth Stories podcast. You can listen to it here. Story 3: Georgia Georgia is a Birth & Postpartum Doula living in the Hawkesbury, north-west of Sydney with her husband and two daughters, Luna and Remi. For her first birth, she was induced at Christmastime in 2019 for post-dates, and unfortunately, experienced the typical cascade of interventions that led to an unplanned caesarean due to ‘failure to progress'. Georgia had a rough time with breastfeeding and held on to the grief of this difficult experience for a long time. Initially planning a repeat caesarean in her subsequent pregnancy, Georgia discovered the option of VBAC and homebirth at 24 weeks pregnant. She changed her plan, booked a private midwife and gave birth to her second daughter, Remi, at home in November 2021 after a marathon 36-hour labour that was beautiful, empowering and like nothing she could have ever imagined. The full version of Georgia's birth stories will feature as one of the first episodes of the soon-to-be launched Australian VBAC Stories podcast, that she is one of the hosts of.

I have been waiting to play you this podcast! It's a conversation I had with Dave (Farmer Dave) from Big Brother 2006 and his return this year in 2022.Dave is someone who isn't scared to be his authentic self. In 2006 on Big Brother he came out live on national tv because he wanted to give a voice to the LGBTQIA community. He has also had his share of accidents that have taken him quite an amount of time to recover from. Dave returned to Big Brother this year for its 21st celebration that put newbies and old stars against each other! It was quite an amazing season.He works at Rufftrack-RuffTrack is an awesome youth program based at the RuffTRACK Farm near Riverstone. A fully registered charity, we take on young people (12-17 years old) who have disengaged with school and the community to give them skills, education, a sense of self worth and reconnecting them with their community. We work closely with Hawkesbury police and the incredible BackTrack Youth Works to make a real change in young people's lives.​Each young person bonds with a dog in their first days. That partnership takes them on a journey of learning responsibility, caring for others and communicating without violence. The team then travels the country demonstrating their skills and giving them purpose and a reason to give life a serious go. Skills attained in the program include dog training, dog sports, horticulture, landscaping, welding, aluminium fabrication, animal husbandry, leather work, wood work, driving and licence attainment, carpentry, mechanics, bushcraft, domestic skills, nutrition and physical education, effective communication, conflict resolution, building healthy relationships..... and a whole lot more!If you would like to donate to this amazing program?
