Podcasts about Indian Pacific

The Indian Pacific is one of the famous and costliest train journeys in the world travelling 2,700 miles (4,352 kilometres) between Sydney and Perth Australia. So, I had very high expectations, but before we even got on board, I started to have concerns as things were going wrong which would have been fine if it was just me and my partner travelling, but we had booked two cabins in the premium Platinum class carriages to take my mother-in-law on a special once-in-a-lifetime trip for her 80th birthday. Adding even more pressure for this to be perfect. Join me as I share our experience on this famous train over the 3 nights and 4 days it takes, and if I thought it was worth it all by the end.

Growing up in Bogata, Colombia food was always at the centre of every family get together for Julian Velasquez (El Estanco) but he set out on a path to study Politics and International Relations at University. When he moved to England to improve his English he found part time work as a kitchen hand and it sparked a passion for hospitality he didn't know he held. He eventually found his way to Australia, and while cooking on The Ghan and Indian Pacific he was offered to chance to open his very own restaurant in the Barossa where he now pays homage to the food of his youth.https://www.elestanco.com.auFollow Deep In The Weeds on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=enFollow Huckhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/LISTEN TO OUR OTHER PODCASTSDirty Linen with Dani Valenthttps://linktr.ee/DirtyLinenPodcastThe Crackling with Anthony Huckstephttps://linktr.ee/thecrackling

In their startling new book, Steven and Evan Strong challenge the “out-of-Africa” theory. Based on fresh examination of both the DNA and archaeological evidence, they conclude that modern humans originated from Australia, not Africa. The original Australians (referred to by some as Aborigines ), like so many indigenous peoples, are portrayed as “backward” and “primitive.” Yet, as the Strong's demonstrate, original Australians had a rich culture, which may have sown the first seeds of spirituality in the world. They had the technology to make international seafaring voyages and have left traces in the Americas and possibly Japan, Southern India, Egypt, and elsewhere. They practiced brain surgery, invented the first hand tools, and had knowledge of penicillin. This book brings together 30 years of intensive research in consultation with elders in the original Australian community. Among their conclusions are the following: There is evidence that humans existed in Australia 40,000 years before they existed in Africa. * There were migrations of original Australians in large boats throughout the Indian/Pacific rim. Three distinct kinds of Homo sapiens are found in Australia. There is evidence from the Americas that debunks the out-of-Africa theory. The spiritual influence of the Aborigines is reflected in the religions of the world. https://youtu.be/7DvJxBj-MU4

What do surgery, banana smoothies and ultra distance cycling have in common? Claire Stevens drops it all in this episode. She's an all rounder cyclist but I think it’s safe to brand her currently as an ultra distance cyclists, a vegan one at that, who earlier this year competed in the Indian Pacific wheel race where she covered over 4000kms across Australia in just 14 days! I’ve known of Claire since last year as she is a proud vegan athletic customer but there is a whole lot more to Claire than meets the eye which I had no idea about… We recorded this podcast over the phone so please excuse the lower quality sound. I do prefer to sit face to face with everyone but if I did that then I’d be missing out on interviewing so many amazing vegans from around the world. Anyways, here’s to where a positive mental attitude can take you.. which is something Claire truly possesses and you’re about to learn all about. You can follow Claire on Instagram at the handle @surgeonabike

He never ceased to impress me with his vast knowledge of the terrain in his native country.
