In this episode of Night Shift, host Kade invites frequent podcast guest and friend, Attila Kaldy, for a live broadcast on YouTube and Facebook. They discuss their joint venture into the making of a documentary about an infamous location called Hill End which is riddled with unexplainable activities. Kade shares their experience and journey into capturing evidence of this strange activity, including unexpected animal mutilations and peculiar electromagnetism around the area. Both Kade and Attila emphasize the terrifying isolation and eerie energy they experienced at multiple locations during their investigation. The conversation ends with Attila sharing an old UFO sighting connected to the area, adding one more layer to the mystery. As the show concludes, the duo looks forward to diving deeper into their footage and further analyzing their encounters.— Believe: Night Shift - Australia's only Paranormal & UFO talk-back radio show!Broadcasting live from the glorious Eastern Coast of Australia to the darkest corner of your greatest fears.Prepare yourself for terrifying tales of Yowies, UFOs, ghosts, paranormal anomalies and much more, nothing is impossible, and nothing is off limits!Want the full episode?Please visit: https://believepod.com/plus/Have a short story?

With open lines for caller contributions, Kade starts with an update on recent developments in the U.S. regarding UFOs. Highlighting the resignation of Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick from the Pentagon's UFO investigation office, he expresses concern about the general silence on the subject from mainstream media. Moira also invites listener opinion regarding an incident involving a boar purportedly ripped in half by a Yaoi, keeping an open mind towards all possibilities. The narrative then veers towards personal experiences and the Y2K phenomenon, which had sparked widespread fear of global chaos at the turn of the millennium. Towards the end, Kade reveals plans for a documentary at Hill End, detailing his hopes to authenticate some paranormal experiences in the area.00:30 Open Lines and Tonight's Topics00:57 Discussion on UFOs and Political System01:33 Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick's Resignation and its Impact02:15 Reading an Article from Politico03:31 Speculations on Kirkpatrick's Future04:40 Kirkpatrick's Tenure and Achievements06:34 Criticism and Controversies07:54 Reflections on Kirkpatrick's Legacy11:15 Open Lines for Listener's Opinions11:39 Discussion on Dog Man in Australia12:56 Reminiscing Y2K and its Impact18:28 Listener's Call and Discussion on Chinese Zodiac25:41 Discussion on Chinese and Mayan Calendars26:34 Mysterious Pot Plant Incident27:55 Invisible Animal Theory29:32 Exploring the History and Mysteries of Picton30:13 Aboriginal Sacred Sites and Paranormal Activities31:08 Dealing with Invisible Entities32:29 Announcement of Documentary Project34:56 Debate on Viral Video of a Split Boar39:06 Teaser for Upcoming Footage Release41:09 Conclusion and Call to Action— Believe: Night Shift - Australia's only Paranormal & UFO talk-back radio show!Broadcasting live from the glorious Eastern Coast of Australia to the darkest corner of your greatest fears.Prepare yourself for terrifying tales of Yowies, UFOs, ghosts, paranormal anomalies and much more, nothing is impossible, and nothing is off limits!Want the full episode?Please visit: https://believepod.com/plus/Have a short story?

For over 25 years, previous podcast guest Luke Sciberras has been immersing himself in landscapes across the world, returning to his studio to draw on the smaller works created from life. His paintings are bold and have a commanding presence. Many of those works, as well as drawings and prints, have been brought together for the first time in two excellent survey shows. The exhibitions, titled 'Luke Sciberras: Side of the Sky', are running concurrently at Campbelltown Arts Centre and Bathurst Regional Art Gallery in NSW and include works sourced from public and private collections around the world. A beautiful monograph also accompanies the exhibitions (link below). The shows end on 7 August 2022. I interviewed Luke in 2019 in his studio in Hill End, NSW - an old stone church built in the 19th century - and the conversation we recorded is episode 64 of the podcast. I also recorded video on that day and this episode is the full audio recording from that video. The popular 4 minute YouTube video made from the recording can be seen on the Talking with Painters YouTube channel. Luke has exhibited in over 40 solo shows, his work is held in the collection of the Art Gallery of NSW and many regional galleries and in corporate and private collections. This conversation was recorded in the lead up to Luke's show with his Sydney gallery, King Street Gallery on William, which was called ‘Rose into View'.

Clinton is joined by Malcolm Drinkwater, researcher, lecturer, author & owner/curator of History Hill Museum at Hill End about his quest to help kick-start tourism in the Hill End region. The Bathurst area is still suffering from lack of tourism post COVID with tourist attraction visits at its lowest. Mr Drinkwater is trying to draw attention to the fact that these attractions are open and available for visits by offering a bonus enticement. History Hill museum presents the history of the gold rush era located on 1200 acres one and a half kilometers outside Hill End and is the culmination of a life's work for Malcolm.

Malcolm Drinkwater, Researcher, lecturer, author & owner/curator of History Hill Museum at Hill End, joins Michael regarding the history behind Australia’s gold rush which began in 1851 when Edward Hargraves, accompanied by John Lister, found five specks of alluvial gold at Ophir near Orange in February 1851.   This discovery, instigated by Hargraves, led directly to the beginning of the gold rush in New South Wales.   Hargraves had been to the Californian goldfields and had learned new gold prospecting techniques such as panning and cradling. He was offered rewards by the Colony of New South Wales and the Colony of Victoria.    Before the end of the year, the gold rush had spread to many other parts of the state where gold had been found, not just to the west, but also to the south and north of Sydney.   This was the first gold rush in Australia and was in full operation by May 1851, even before it was officially proclaimed on 14 May 1851, with already an estimated 300 diggers in place by 15 May 1851.

In 2019 I travelled 4 hours west of Sydney, past the Blue Mountains, driving through winding bush roads until I arrived at Hill End, the historic goldmining village which is now also known for its inspiring artist's community. It was there that I interviewed Susan Baird who a few years earlier had fallen in love with the town and now has a home and studio there, deep in the bush. We recorded a previous podcast interview where Susan talked with me about how she became an artist and developed her career. It's one of the most downloaded episodes on the podcast and you can hear it here. We also recorded video which I edited down for a YouTube video. I've since realised, though, that those video recordings are just as valuable as the podcast interview itself and that's why I'm bringing you this 'Summer Series' of longer recordings from videos. What you'll hear in this episode is the full audio recording from the video shoot. Susan's next solo show is coming up in June 2021 at Arthouse Gallery in Sydney and she has small works in the Gallery's current group show (January 2021). She is also represented by Flinders Lane Gallery in Melbourne and it was in the lead up to her last show with Flinders Lane that we recorded this interview.

Over the years, again and again allegations of physical, emotional and sexual abuse have surfaced from individuals who have spent time in institutional care. This can include many forms of institution including but not restricted to; schools, care homes, hospitals, religious organisations and detention centres. In 2017, an investigation was commenced into the allegations of beatings, mistreatment and sexual abuse, including rape suffered at the Hill End Hospital Adolescent Unit in St Albans between 1969 and 1995 by former staff members. Over 100 victims provided evidence to the investigation and over 70 members of staff were investigated. Hill End was supposed to treat teenagers with psychiatric illnesses but became known as a “dumping ground” for children for whom the NHS and local authorities had run out of other ideas for. Survivors told how they were sexually abused and filmed during strip searches, while children were also beaten. Survivors accounts disclosed being kept in police type cells and sedated for days at a time without reason or justification. As well as the sedation and physical abuse that accompanied it, survivors have reported being raped and sexually abused by hospital staff while being sedated or during strip searches under the pretence of checking for items they could harm themselves with. Survivors said that few children had been diagnosed with mental health issues, and cast doubt on the effectiveness of treatment. Survivors found medication did not appear on any records given to their GPs and the hospital’s own documents were destroyed in an arson attack at an undisclosed off-site facility. In November 2020 following a three year investigation known as Operation Meadow, Hertfordshire Constabulary confirmed there was “insufficient evidence to support any arrest or prosecution”. Hertfordshire Constabulary said its investigation established that sedation at Hill End “did not meet the standards of the day and medical records show that in some cases children were given adult doses and were repeatedly sedated”. A statement added: “As well as the use of sedation, officers have also investigated allegations of sexual assault at Hill End. These have all been fully investigated; however, again there is insufficient evidence to support any arrest or prosecution”. The report can be found here. One survivor accused police of failing to follow up a report he attempted to make 12 years ago. Survivors have vowed however to continue their fight for justice and proceed with civil claims which have a lower burden of proof than a criminal trial. The ongoing Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse is continuing to take evidence on “the extent to which institutions have failed to protect children from sexual abuse” in councils, the police, armed forces, schools, hospitals, children’s homes, charities, religious groups and other public services. The Truth Project offers victims and survivors of child sexual abuse the chance to share their experiences and be heard with respect. You can find information about this here. We encourage anyone who has concerns about sexual abuse to get in touch. You can contact Alan Collins at Alan.collins@hughjames.com or Danielle Vincent at Danielle.vincent@hughjames.com.

We were thrilled to find out Joanna Gambotto lives in Avalon so we could easily visit her studio and see in person her amazing work! Her huge drawings are a sight to be seen, done in charcoal on paper depicting interiors from Hill End cottages on her recent residency there. We spoke to her about all aspects of her art career including her stint at National Art School. Joanna also makes beautiful etchings and makes ceramics too! She is a versatile and talented artist and we cant wait to see what happens next in her art career.http://joannagambotto.com.au/ Hill End Artist residency - https://www.hillendart.com.au/National Art School - https://nas.edu.au/Elisabeth Cummings - https://kingstreetgallery.com.au/artists/elisabeth-cummings/

As a child, it never occurred to Susan Baird that she might one day be a painter. She left school at 16 and, after a year of study, found a job working for a graphic designer who also enjoyed painting. It was through seeing him paint that the course of her life shifted entirely. By the age of 18 she'd exhibited in her first solo show in Sydney's premier art district. She went on to study in New York and Sydney and has been painting for over 35 years. She has exhibited in over a dozen solo shows, many more group shows and has been shortlisted in art prizes on over 20 occasions. Primarily working in landscape en plein air, Baird's works reflect the beauty peculiar to this country with colour used expertly through years of experience – using brushes, palette knives and even squeegees to transport us into the dreamlike world she portrays. Her solo show ‘All Around Me’, which opens at Flinders Lane Gallery in Melbourne on 15 October 2019, centres around a place she’s been visiting for over 10 years and where she now owns a home: the historic NSW town of Hill End. In this podcast episode we talk about creativity in childhood, the allure of Hill End, painting techniques, motherhood and much more.

A video filmed in Baird's home in Hill End will be posted on the Talking with Painters YouTube channel and this website by early October 2019. Above feature photo by photographer Sheridan Nilsson.

If you've ever met Luke Sciberras you’ll know he’s larger than life. Full of joie de vivre and good humour, he attacks life with gusto from his fabulous garden to his renowned cooking skills so it’s no surprise that this life force is also manifested through his art. He's known chiefly for his landscape paintings which are created with layers of glorious colour and a variety of marks. His drawings and plein air works have an immediacy which take us into his experience - whether it's a boab tree a bird or a portrait. His art is always interpreted from life or from drawings made en plein air and brought back into the studio. But paradoxically what is most important to him as a landscape painter is in fact people. Those who are the custodians or owners of the landscape are just as important to him as the landscape itself and he needs to connect with them in order to create his work. He’s painted landscapes around the world from Europe to China but it’s in Australia that he’s spent most of his painting life – interpreting the landscapes of far northern Queensland to Bruny Island in Tasmania, from the Kimberley coast in Western Australia to the central desert areas where he’s created his art with the indigenous people of those lands. He's had 40 solo shows, his work has been hung in the Art Gallery of NSW, is contained in the collections of many regional galleries, in corporate and major private collections and his upcoming show of paintings from Western Australia’s Kimberley coast opens at King Street Gallery on William in Sydney in March 2019. I spoke with Luke in historic Hill End about 4 hours from Sydney where he has his studio in the midst of a wonderful artists' community.

Winning the Archibald Prize as Guy Maestri did in 2009 would be a defining moment in most artist’s careers, but he is quick to cite physical immersion in the landscape as revolutionary to his painting practice. It’s easy to gloss over the history of plein-air as a European tradition, born of gentle grasses and mild sunlight. Practiced in Australia, away from the slip of green coastline, plein-air demands rigor of vast dimensions. For Maestri, the material and temporal challenges of extended painting sessions in the hard country around Hill End, Wilcannia and Broken Hill has been instrumental in a new understanding of local art histories and ecologies, as well as the atmospheric and elemental qualities of landscape. Beholden to intimacies of place, the artist stakes out a subtle void or stillness in these dry landscapes without surrendering his animated, almost kinetic approach to paint. Masquerading as a shady retreat, the studio retains its disciplinarian attitude but demands a different kind of focus. Here the void is more theatrical, Maestri’s compositions orchestrated with operatic tempo. Desiccated road-kill (the anti-trophy of inland highways) perform as contemporary Gothic vanitas, shot through with equal measure of beauty and pathos, the eye and the heart facing off. A graduate of the National Art School, Maestri won the 2014 Kings School Art Prize and the 2013 Premier’s Plein Air Painting Prize. He is a regular finalist in the Wynne Prize for Landscape at the Art Gallery of NSW and his work is held in several public collections, including the National Portrait Gallery and Parliament House collections.

Armed with her favourite palette knife which she’s used for the last 10 years, Amanda Penrose Hart dynamically captures the landscape in paint both en plein air and in her studio. She won the Gallipoli Art Prize this year with her painting ‘The Sphinx, Perpetual Peace' and her upcoming show at King Street Gallery on William in Sydney will be her 25th solo show. She has won and been shortlisted in other art awards and her portraits have been recognised in the Portia Geach Memorial Award and the Salon des Refusés on numerous occasions. Over the years Hart has depicted countless landscapes. From the coastal vistas of Moonee Beach in northern NSW and Bruny island in Tasmania, to the drier landscapes of Fowler's Gap, Hill End and Sofala, Hart captures the landscape with a sweep of paint which captures the mood of her surroundings. She's also been involved in projects with other well known Australian painters, travelling to historic sites including Anzac Cove in Turkey and the Western Front in France, returning home with plein air paintings and ideas for new works. In this episode Hart talks about how she got started, those painting trips, commissions and how to get bugs off oil paintings as well as lots more - all with a wonderfully dry sense of humour!

Saturday 29th April marked the one year anniversary of the nomination of Barndioota, or Wallerberdina, in the Flinders Ranges as the Federal government’s preferred site for a national radioactive waste facility. It was chosen from a shortlist of 6 sites. This week we hear from the local doctor Susi Andersson, get messages of support from people from the previously shortlisted sites - Robyn Rayner from Hill End in NSW and Tom Harris from Kimba - and also Nat Wasley from the Beyond Nuclear Initiative, a long time campaigner against the dump.The media release announcing the site selection is here:http://www.joshfrydenberg.com.au/guest/mediaReleasesDetails.aspx?id=210The Wallerbidina site is of great cultural, historical and spiritual significance to Adnyamathanha Traditional Owners, who are calling this decision a desecration of their culture. Regina McKenzie, who lives at Yappala Station near the dump site, says: "The area is Adnyamathanha land. It is Arngurla Yarta (spiritual land). The proposed dump site has countless thousands of Aboriginal artifacts. Our ancestors are buried there. The nominated site is a significant women’s site. Throughout the area are registered cultural heritage sites and places of huge importance to our people."Contact current Federal Resources Minister Matt Canavan and ask him to halt this flawed, stressful and divisive process and take a fair and responsible approach to the management of Australia’s radioactive waste.To contact Minister Canavan:Call his Rockhampton office: (07) 4927 2003Send an email: senator.canavan@aph.gov.auWrite a letter: Office of Senator Matt Canavan, PO Box 737, Rockhampton QLD 4700www.facebook.com/SenatorCanavan/twitter.com/mattjcan / @mattjcanWe need your support to protect this region from nuclear waste.

Host: Bill Black Audio Library: www.ExitCoachRadio.com Chris Hill discusses decisions that have to be made after the worst happens, and how you make the difficult process easier.    Transcript:    Chris: When somebody passes, there are about 150 decisions that need to be made within a 24 to 48 hour period, and there is no guide, there is no funeral director that takes you through all this stuff. There are so many things surrounding that, I don't even have enough time in an hour to tell you what they are. But, you have all these decisions to make, and at the same time, you've lost your spouse. And think about this, you've lost two things, you've lost their companionship and their income. Now, by companionship, I mean everything you did in your life, you did with that person, every decision you made. Now, you're own your own, and you've got a decision to make where you don't know what they wanted, how they wanted it, they're not with you to help guide you.  To hear more tips from over 750 Advisors, visit exitcoachradio.com Listeners: You asked, so we found FREE solutions for 5 of your top problem areas.

This week we tune into the radioactive waste dump debate in Hill End, near Sally's Flat, an area that is suddenly in the spotlight for being one of six potential sites for the national radioactive waste dump. We speak with Jodie Carter from the No Central West Nuclear Waste Dump Committee and Nat Wasley from the Beyond Nuclear Initiative. Further afield, we speak with Yankunytjatjara woman Karina Lester, in Japan for the World Nuclear Victims Forum.

On Friday 13th November the Federal Governemnt release their shortlist of nominated sites to be investigated for a national nuclear waste dump. Following the incredible success of Traditional Owners in halting the imposition of a nuclear waste dump at Muckaty Staion in the NT the Government began a new process where land holders across Australia had the opportunity to nominate a site for consideration. Of the 28 sites nominated, a shortlist of six have been chosen for further assessment. They are 'Sally's Flat' at the Hill End historic gold mining town near Bathurst in New South Wales, Aridgold Date Farm at Hale in Northern Territory, Oman Ama in an agricultural and mining area near Inglewood in Queensland, Cortlinye and Pinkawillinie both near Kimba in South Australia's foodbowl and Wallabadinna in the flinders ranges in South Australia. Today we'll speak with Dr.Jim Green national nuclear campaigner with Friends of the Earth who has been involved through the 20 year long campaign for responsible management of radioactive waste, Regina McKenzie from Yapala Station an Indigenous Protected Area which neighbours a site nominated in the Flinders ranges and Tracey Carpenter from the Bathurst Climate Action Network.

Talking with artist Amanda Penrose Hart about her exhibition, New Painitngs, at the King Street Gallery in Sydney's Darlinghurst. Travelling in her portable studio, a classic Aussie ute, Amanda discovers and paints exquisite landscapes in oil, depiciting the parched brown hills and valleys of the central west in New South Wales. In 2006, Amanda was an artist-in-residence at Haefliger's Cottage in the historic mining town of Hill End. Like many Australian artists before her, including Russell Drysdale, Donald Friend, Brett Whiteley, and John Olsen, Amanda is drawn to the eroded and raw landscape of this rural area, but she brings her own unique vision. Amanda is particularly attracted to the ubiquitous holiday caravans that sit dotted about in empty paddocks, frying in the midday heat. Although people are absent in these paintings, their presence is felt. A fascinating conversation with a rapidly rising contemporary Australian painter. Amanda's exhibition was sold out. Enjoy.
