Podcasts about Western Australia

Welcome back to the True Hauntings Podcast — where the shadows speak, the walls remember, and the spirits never rest.In this episode we take you deep into the dark heart of one of Western Australia's most haunted and historic buildings — the Fremantle Arts Centre. But before it was a hub of creativity and culture… it was something far more sinister.Originally built in the 1860s as the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum, this imposing Gothic limestone structure holds a past soaked in sorrow, tragedy, and — many say — the paranormal. Over the decades, it has served as a mental hospital, a women's home, a naval base, and now an arts venue. But some believe the spirits of those who suffered here never left…Visitors and staff alike have reported disembodied screams, phantom footsteps echoing through empty halls, and sudden icy chills even on the hottest summer days. One of the most frequently seen apparitions is that of a woman in white, believed to be a former patient who died in anguish. Others claim to have seen the figure of a sad-eyed man staring from the upper windows — long after the building should be empty.So what secrets are still locked behind those towering stone walls? Is it residual energy from a tortured past... or are the ghosts of the Fremantle Arts Centre still trying to make their presence known?Let's explore the evidence, the eyewitness accounts, and the haunted history of this chilling location.Is the Fremantle Arts Centre truly haunted — or is it just the building's dark legacy playing tricks on our minds?Stay with us… if you dare.

For centuries, Indigenous people around the world have been fighting to reclaim lost land. In most instances, the term Indigenous is used to refer to the people who lived somewhere before colonisers and settlers from a different place arrived. In North America, nearly 99% of Indigenous land has been seized since European colonisers arrived.These days, an online movement using the hashtag #LandBack is supporting Indigenous people who want to take back their ancestral land. BBC journalist Vanessa Igoe explains what the movement is and talks us through the arguments for and against it. Marika Sila, an Indigenous Inuit in Canada, explains what the landback movement means to her. Ailsa Roy, a Wunna Nyiyaparli woman, tells us about the challenges they've faced trying to reclaim ancestral lands in Western Australia. And Vanessa Racehorse, a Law professor in the US, looks at the impact on the environment when indigenous people reclaim their land.

More Perils of Motorcycling by Ms Alanna Gayko Moreperilsofmotorcycling.com Amazon.com 'More Perils of Motorcycling' is the continued story of my motorcycle travels across Australia, New Zealand, and the United States during the previous decade. Other travels include riding two different BMW 650cc motorcycles in the Northern Territory and the Kimberley region in the tip of Western Australia. A highlight of my travels was a month-long ride 'Around Oz 2016' on my reliable 2011 Harley Davidson Blackline motorcycle. This trip was solely undertaken to raise awareness of the rare disease called 'Batten disease'. This is a life-limiting neurodegenerative (a type of dementia) genetic disease, which mostly impacts young children. Join me on my motorcycle travels - some off-road, with many adventures in between.

Send us a textIn this episode, we speak with Rebecca, a mother of two from Perth, Western Australia. Rebecca shares her powerful and deeply personal birth stories — from her first homebirth to her second birth, a freebirth.Rebecca begins by taking us through her pregnancies, both of which were marked by hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) lasting up to 20 weeks. She opens up about the physical and emotional challenges of navigating pregnancy while managing HG.For her first birth, Rebecca chose a homebirth with the support of a private midwife, opting not to go through the Community Midwifery Program (CMP). She went into labor at 40 weeks and 6 days, and during labour, performed a forward-leaning inversion to help reposition her baby, who wasn't quite in an ideal position. She chose a managed third stage for this birth.With her second pregnancy, Rebecca decided on a wild pregnancy — choosing not to engage in routine medical care or monitoring — and ultimately had a freebirth. She experienced several days of prodromal labour leading up to the birth and gave birth to her second baby at 41 weeks and 6 days — on Christmas Day.Support the show@homebirthstoriesaustralia Support the show by buying us a coffee!

In this KE Report company update, I'm joined by Mike Spreadborough, Executive Co-Chairman, and Kas De Luca, General Manager of Exploration at Novo Resources (TSXV: NVO - OTCQX: NSRPF), to unpack the June 19th news release focused on exploration in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.   Key themes discussed: Early-stage aircore drilling at the Balla Balla Project: Kas outlines the targeting strategy across a 15km strike. Although wide-spaced, the drilling revealed low-level gold mineralization and a strong multi-element geochemical signature pointing to a fertile system over 5km of strike. Emerging gold-antimony prospects: The Sherlock Crossing area has returned high-grade surface samples (up to 146 g/t gold and 3% antimony), with a 1.5km soil anomaly now defined and ready for drilling. The Southeast Wyloo prospect is back on the radar with strong historical results, and fieldwork will resume shortly. Egina JV with Northern Star Resources: Following the takeover of De Grey Mining, Northern Star is reviewing the project data. With $18M in spending remaining to earn 50%, Mike explains the ongoing collaboration and outlook for future drilling. Strategic project pipeline: Mike and Kas provide insight into Novo's broader exploration strategy, balancing advanced targets in New South Wales (Tibooburra and John Bull) with greenfield discoveries in Pilbara. They also remain open to potential JVs or asset sales where appropriate. Expect further news on follow-up drilling and new target prioritization by the end of Q3.   Click here to visit the Novo Resources website to learn more about all the projects and exploration programs.

In August 1925, two young adventurous missionaries set off from Perth, Western Australia, in their small Citroën with a plan to drive to Darwin, selling books and collecting donations along the way. If they made it that far, they would be the first motorists to complete that journey. But adventure took on a life of its own and, by the end of the year, Nevill Westwood and the little car 'Bubsie' had driven into the history books and completed the first journey around Australia.

Welcome to Property Unfiltered, a collection of raw and uncensored conversations with Simon Loo and some of the nation's most savvy investors – giving you the insights you need to achieve your property dreams. In this episode of Property Unfiltered, Simon Loo, founder of House Finder, and Smart Property Investment's Liam Garman are joined by head of Strategic Brokers Hung Chuy and investor Lawrence Khuu to unpack how to build a nine-property portfolio in three years. Lawrence, a physiotherapist, built a nine-property portfolio in three years despite a tough post-COVID lending environment. Initially owning three low-yield units in south-west Sydney, he chose to sell them at a loss to free equity and borrowing capacity for more profitable investments. Guided by property expert Simon and finance specialist Hung, he focused on undervalued properties with strong rental yields and capital growth in Queensland and Western Australia. Using trusts and refinancing strategies, they maximised his borrowing power while managing liabilities, even selling his primary residence to fuel growth. Lawrence's journey highlights how clear goals, expert advice, and determination can overcome market challenges and drive rapid portfolio expansion.

Great message from Mick from the UK this week that we thought we'd explore a bit. Mick has asked Nick and Mark to give their Top 5 courses in the world, so we thought we'd run through them. In classic Talk Birdie style, the Top 5 becomes a Top 6 from each of them. And in Nicks case, one of the courses may have been influenced by the wine he was drinking at a house on the course - he explains on the pod. And what course does he describe as a 'living, breathing, parcel of land' ? Mark tells the story of why he never got to play Augusta....interestingly, also related in part to drinking (responsibly of course).And we wrap with an email from David in Western Australia who has some comments about bad behaviour on the golf course.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.

Welcome to the seventieth episode of Talk Spirit To Me.This week Jess welcomed Courtney Ugle to the podcast.Courtney Ugle is a proud Ballardong/Wardandi Noongar woman from Bunbury, Western Australia. She was born into a family where domestic violence was normalised, a harsh reality that shaped her early years. At just 11, she lost her father, and eight years later, her mother was tragically murdered. In the midst of immense grief, football became her lifeline, a space of healing, empowerment, and community. It helped her transform pain into purpose and ultimately inspired the creation of Waangkiny, which means "talking" in Noongar, a powerful symbol of connection and change. Courtney's story isn't about placing blame or bringing shame to her family. It's about shining a light on truths often kept in the shadows. She shares her journey without shame, with deep love for her parents, and with the belief that her story deserves to be told.If you would like to connect with Courtney you can follow her on Instagram @courtneyugle_ or visit her website https://www.waangkiny.com/about-waangkinyIf you like this sh*t, follow us on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @jessicalynnemediumship⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@talkspirittomepodcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠OR if you would like to book a Psychic Medium Reading you can do so ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠**Please note: we do not own the rights to this music; Complicate Ya - Otis McDonald @RFM_NCM

eDNA with Georgia Nester | The Deep Sea Podcast | Episode 59 Welcome to the PRESSURISED version of episode 59, just the science, none of the waffle   For this month's interview, we speak with Dr. Georgia Nester, a colleague of Alan's from the University of Western Australia, about eDNA (Environmental DNA is any genetic material left behind by organisms in an environment). She talks about how several collection methods, eg.: Niskin bottles, sponges and paper filters, located on the deep-sea lander system, can retrieve different types of eDNA from the deep. Georgia also touches on how diel migrators can really mess with eDNA data, and larvae gave her a surprise when she kept getting hits from very deep-living fish in her surface samples. Georgia even used a water sample to locate surprise eDNA evidence of the Giant Squid in Australian waters, which Al takes as a chance to remind  Thom of his Antarctic colossal squid failure.  Alan talks about how valuable he thinks eDNA is, how it can give a great snapshot of what can't be seen on the footage or in the submersible, and how it might be able to narrow down species that are difficult to catch, like Bassozetus cusk eels.  Support the show The show is self-sustaining, but we couldn't do it without you.

As a child, chef Graeme Stockdale was embarrassed by the smell of sauerkraut and pickles that would trail him from his Polish and German grandparents' home. A transformative encounter with a barbecued duck in Singapore changed his life, though nothing would prepare him for two monumental floods in his adopted region of Lismore, NSW.Graeme was only a boy when he was introduced to the power and ferocity of fire. As a nine-year-old living in Albany, Western Australia he lit a fire out of curiosity on a neighbour's property. It was the look on his mother's face that turned his experience from awesome into terrifying.Graham grew up with the flavours of his grandparents' German and Polish ancestry, raised by a single mum, and experienced social isolation brought on by the judgement of kids at school.  After the barbecued duck experience, his whole world became focused on food, and he eventually opened his own restaurant in Lismore, NSW.Graeme survived two major floods, and in the aftermath, cooked on his barbecue non-stop for weeks, outside his ruined restaurant, feeding his community with help from volunteers.Further informationRead more about Graeme's restaurant in Lismore, The Stockpot Kitchen.Graeme's cookbook, Red Hot & Smokin'! was published by New Holland Publishers in 2019.Conversations' Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.
