Podcasts about King Island

Life in the electorate seat of Braddon, covering Tasmania's north-west and west coast, plus the dairy farming King Island, can be tough.Unemployment is high. The population of once thriving mining towns like Zeehan are at the mercy of a drive-in drive-out and fly-in fly-out workforce and mines stopping production.

Another feedback pod today with plenty of questions and another Wolfpack members swing for Nick and Mark to review.We start with a pic that you may have seen on socials about a golfer who thought his ticket to an Augusta practice round allowed him to play an actual practice round. A misunderstanding clearly, but quite funny, the twist is that Mark Allen was there and saw it happen live - he explains what happened from his angle.Feedback on a couple of recent masterclasses. XJ has a comment for Nick on his 3/4 swing masterclass, and John has a comment and question for Mark on his 'putting like a pro' masterclass last week.Alex watched Houston over the weekend and asks Nick and Mark a question about Gary Woodlands' caddy and aim point.Sue wrote in raving about the Indian Open at the weekend, and how great the course looked.Dom sent us a fun video which, initially, looked like a MAFs out-take, but took a very funny twist. You'l see it on the YouTube episode later today, but hear it on the pod now.Wayne has a question about players who have won The Masters directly after a lead-up event, Mark has done some research - there's a first for everything....Laurie asks a massive question which could derail the timing of the pod. It has to do with the politics and potential structure of PGA, DPWT and LIV.And Peter sent a video of his mate at King Island in for Nick and Mark to review his swing. If you want your swing, putting, or anything reviewed live on the pod, shoot a video in and we'll have a look.We do the show 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.

A Tasmanian company, slated for closure, has been sold to two Melbourne-based businessmen. The King Island community has been rallying against the closure of the plant, after previous owner Saputo failed to find a buyer. Rural editor Emily Minney caught up with King Island Mayor Marcus Blackie to find out what the sale will mean for the company moving forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The barque Cataraqui crashed into the rocks of King Island, Tasmania, in the Bass Strait, August 4, 1845. The ship was carrying emigrants, mostly families, from England to New South Wales to start a new life. Of 409 on board, only 9 survived, including only 1 passenger. All of the women and children perished. The wreck of the Cataraqui is Australia's deadliest civil maritime disaster in history. Written, edited, and produced by Rich Napolitano.

We are in conversation with Lisa Garland, a photographic artist who has been documenting her community on the North-West Coast for more than 20 years. Lisa makes portraits of people so deeply connected to where they live that often the portrait of their place tells more about them than the people themselves. As a new generation is emerging and another passing, Lisa reflects on what she looks for in her subjects and how her focus is changing. In this episode we cover:  how Lisa's photographic portraits of people and places are influenced by her upbringing and community, how Lisa's early career as a newspaper photographer made her value her own personal projects, particularly portraits of her family and community members, documenting generational changes occuring in Lutruwita | Tasmania, particularly during residencies in Queenstown and King Island, how the intimate relationship between artist and subject comes through in her images and the extent the stories shared are conveyed through image and text, the changes in Tasmania's cultural and physical landscapes and the loss of traditional craftsmanship, her shift from portraiture to photographing symbolic spaces, and the value of storytelling and the significance of preserving the authenticity of her subjects and their environments.

A team of entomologists and naturalists from Northern Ireland and Germany have described a new species of beetle, previously unknown to science. The colourful insect, nicknamed the "Fence-climber Twiglet Weevil" due to its prevalence on wooden fences, was discovered in County Down by Buglife Conservation Officer Joshua Clarke, during a night-time survey in September 2022. Introducing the Twiglet Weevil After the initial discovery and additional finds, Joshua partnered with Stewart Rosell, a PhD student based at Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute, to intensively search other sites with similar habitats; their efforts uncovered numerous specimens of the mysterious weevil. It was then discovered leading Irish entomologist, Dr. Roy Anderson, had independently collected specimens as early as 2011 that remained undetermined, which were later confirmed to be the same species. To formally evaluate and describe the new species, the Northern Irish team collaborated with Dr. Peter Stüben, a leading weevil researcher at the Curculio Institute in Germany. Dr Stüben described the weevil's morphology and provided its DNA barcode, available in the journal Weevil News. "The distinct features, like the raised reddish-brown structure on its back called the scutellum, along with genetic analysis of its mitochondrial DNA, revealed this weevil was not closely related to any known Western Palearctic species," stated Dr. Stüben. The new weevil has officially been named Xenosacalles irlandikos, which loosely translates as the Irish stranger weevil, reflecting that this colourful weevil probably arrived in Ireland from somewhere else. "This discovery highlights our incomplete understanding of global invertebrate biodiversity," said Stewart Rosell. "and the challenges this creates for entomologists identifying and understanding non-native invertebrates." Joshua Clarke added "The influx of non-native species to Ireland shows no signs of slowing down. Introductions frequently occur through the importation of plants and wood products and factors like climate change may enable introduced species to gain a foothold and proliferate in new regions." He continues "This includes non-native species being described outside of their native range, such as the flatworm Marionfyfea adventor (Jones & Sluys 2016) with probable introduction from New Zealand, and Anasaitis milesae (Logunov 2024), a jumping spider with speculative origins from the Caribbean." The authors had speculated the weevil could be an accidental introduction from another part of the world, like Australia. After publication, they had been contacted by a Tasmanian entomologist and weevil enthusiast, Otto Bell, who recognised the species as a possible undescribed weevil specimen he and his twin brother Bruno Bell had collected in Victoria, Australia. "We only know of several specimens of this previously undetermined species" stated Otto Bell. Two of those specimens are available in the Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery collections, with senior curator Dr. Simon Grove on his Facebook page saying, "these specimens were collected by Dick Bashford in 2010 on King Island as by-catch during panel traps for monitoring Ips bark beetles and remained undescribed until now", adding "we agreed Xenosacalles irlandikos is our weevil." This exciting find by the dedicated Irish entomologists working together with international expertise in Germany, and now Australia, contributes to our knowledge of the varied insects present in Ireland, and provides further insight into global biodiversity. Research is currently ongoing to confirm origins, phylogeny, and ecology. Buglife is the only organisation in Europe devoted to the conservation of all invertebrates our aim is to halt the extinction of invertebrate species and to achieve sustainable populations of invertebrates. Invertebrates are vitally important to a healthy planet - humans and other life forms could not survive without them. The food we eat, the fish we catch,...

At the time of his final flight, Frederick was an ambitious, healthy, hardworking, and optimistic young person. On the evening of Saturday October 21st, 1978, at 6:15 Fred Valentich left Moorabbin airport and headed west, crossing Port Philip Bay on the way to King Island. Fred's flight started without incident.  After about 6 minutes over the open water, just after 7pm, Fred called Steve on the radio and asked if there was “any known traffic below 5000 feet?” The reply was “no known traffic.” Fred confirmed that he was in an altitude of 4500 feet and crossing Bass Strait. Only 7 seconds after confirming he could not identify the “thing” Fred reported, “Melbourne, Delta Sierra Juliet, it is not an aircraft…it is…” Almost immediately after stating his intentions Fred radioed, “Ah, Melbourne, that's strange aircraft is hovering on top of me again, it is hovering, and it's not an aircraft!” Steve, with all his experience, now had to try to help a junior pilot try to navigate through engine trouble over a body of water while avoiding an unknown aircraft as the sun is setting. I don't envy him. Before Steve had time to process all the data points and provide guidance, Fred radioed and said, “Delta Sierra Juliet, Melbourne…” but then stop talking mid-sentence. All that can be heard is a chattering rattling metallic sound. It lasts for 17 seconds and then stops. Steve never heard anything quite like it in all his years of aviation. Steve tried repeatedly to reach Fred, but he was gone. Fred was never heard from again. What happened to Fred Valentich? We explore his case and that of the 2017 US Pentagon report citing unexplained flying objects over the US.   Sources: Nothing On Radar: The Valentich Mystery: Simpson, George: 9798826817315: Amazon.com: Books.

En flygande farkost, ett kraschat flygplan och märkliga sammanträffanden står på schemat i detta avsnitt av konspirationsteorier. Reportrarna står redo och alla vill de fånga den bästa bilden. Alldeles strax ska planet med Polens president landa här på flygplatsen i Ryssland. Men istället för att få se planet landa i dimman hör åskådarna ett skrikande motorljud följt av en hög krasch, då planet kolliderar med marken. Den officiella utredningen kommer senare att komma fram till att olyckan skedde till följd av dåligt väder och dumma beslut fattade i cockpit. Men trots att utredningen sedan länge är klar fortsätter det att gå rykten bland Polens invånare. Rykten om att det här inte alls var en olycka, utan en välplanerad attack utförd av Ryssland. Solen har precis gått ner över horisonten och framför honom ligger ön King Island, dit han är på väg i sitt flygplan. Men så plötsligt ser han något stort. En stor avlång metallisk farkost med fyra stark lampor som lyser. Ett pulserande ljud hörs, ett metalliskt skrapande och sändningen bryts. Det är det sista någon hör från Frederick Valentich. Rör det sig om naturens krafter? Ett frivilligt försvinnande? Eller kanske en konspiration som rör en av de farligaste och bäst hållna hemligheterna i mänsklighetens historia.

Music written and performed by Katherine Camp   Transcript  (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops) Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. This episode continues echidnas and the second thing I like about this monotreme is their habitat. We talked a little bit about this in the first episode, but I want to dig a bit deeper into where each species is found. We know they are from Australia and surrounding areas but let's look at exactly what kind of habitat they prefer. The short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeates) is Australia's most widespread native mammal. It is common throughout most of temperate Australia and lowland New Guinea. They can be found in Tasmania, King Island, Flinders Island, and Kangaroo Island.  Almost every kind of habitat can be home to these shy creatures. Snow-covered mountains, montane forests, desert habitat, and even urban environments are home to the short-beaked echidna. The main requirement for echidna friendly habitat is a way to help keep them sheltered in extreme weather. They also tend to favor areas with soil that's easy to dig into, but they are great diggers so they can survive with tougher soil. The eastern long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bartoni), also known as, Barton's long-beaked echidna is found in New Guinea. It'  s found in the Central Cordillera and in Huon Peninsula. They inhabit tropical hill forests, sub-alpine forests, upland grasslands, and scrub. They are mainly found in the eastern half of New Guinea at elevations from 6,600 feet to 9,800 feet or 2 to 3 thousand meters. Some have even been seen as high as 13,000 feet or 4,100 meters.  This species of echidna has long, dense fur with spines sprinkled throughout. Their thick fur helps keep them warm in colder weather. They have five long claws on their front feet and four on their back feet. These echidnas lack a tail, unlike the short-beaked echidna. According to a scientific study published in the Journal of Mammalogy in 2009, males of Zaglossus bartoni are smaller than females. Eastern long-beaked echidnas are typically found in dense vegetation and underground burrows. The western long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bruijnii) is found in the Bird's Head peninsula and Foja Mountains of West Papua and Papua provinces. They are endemic to the Vogelkop region of New Guinea including the Arfak, Tamrau, Fak Fak, possibly the Charles Louis Mountains, as well as island of Salawati. They prefer alpine meadows and humid montane forests.  Sir David's Long-beaked echidna, named after the famous naturalist and wild animal advocate David Attenborough, is found in only one area, and as I mentioned in the first episode all we have to go on with this species is a specimen captured in the 1960's. We know where they live because we see the evidence of their existence. Holes in the ground called nose pokes are indicative of echidna activity. In 2007, an expedition to the Cyclops Mountains of Indonesia in the region of Papua recorded nose pokes and received information from locals about the existence of this echidna. They did not see a live echidna  but they were hopeful that reports were correct and the animal still lived. Because we'd thought it was extinct.  Here's the really exciting information about Sir David's long-beaked echidna. An expedition in 2023 to the Cyclops mountain caught video evidence of a live Zaglossus attenboroughi on a remote camera trap. It was the last day of the expedition and they had seen nose pokes in previously reported areas, but once again they thought they'd get no visual conformation until….there ii was waddling along triggering the camera to record video of its existence! We thought they were extinct for 60 years and researchers had rediscovered them!  It's very exciting. This species is found only in the Cyclops Mountains in tropical montane moss forest of the extreme northern Papua Province. There is the possibility that they may be in nearby regions but those areas have yet to be adequately surveyed. With definitive proof of Sir David's long-beaked echidna in the Cyclops Mountains maybe we can branch out and survey nearby areas.  As I was reading the scientific paper in the Journal of Mammalogy (yes, I just admitted to reading scientific papers) about the home ranges, movement, and den use of Zaglossus bartoni, I realized that I neglected to talk about a few interesting characteristics of echidnas in the first episode. I'm going to include them here. First I completely forgot to mention that echidnas have spurs. All species have spurs on their back legs. Both males and females have these spurs on their back legs, but some females loose them as they age. Both extant monotremes, the platypus and the echidna, have spurs. In platypus only the males have spurs and the substance that the spur excrete is a venom. The echidna's spurs excrete something completely different. Echina spurs act more like a scent gland. It is used during breeding season to excrete a waxy substance that may be used to locate potential mates. The second interesting fact about echidnas is that at one time there were only two species of echidna. The short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna. Upon further examination, scientists determined that there were three distinct species of long-beaked echidna. In 1998 researchers reported differences in skull morphology, body size, fur coloration, and the number of clawed toes on the front and back feet. The differences were significant enough that scientists decided that the long-beaked echidnas should be separated into three species. On this note, there is some thinking that the eastern long-beaked echidna may be divided again into more species, but research is still on going.   That's all for echidna habitats, I'm glad you listened to this episode because where echidnas live is my second favorite thing about them. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.    Join me next week for another episode about echidnas.       (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

For the last year, a private, hyper-local weather station network has been springing up across Northern Tasmania, from King Island to the East Coast and down to Bothwell.

The Frederick Valentich disappearance remains one of Australia's most enigmatic aviation mysteries. On October 21, 1978, 20-year-old pilot Frederick Valentich took off from Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne, intending to fly to King Island. During the flight, he radioed air traffic control, reporting an unidentified flying object (UFO) hovering above him. Distressed and describing strange movements by the object, Valentich's communication abruptly ceased, and he, along with his Cessna 182 aircraft, vanished without a trace. Despite extensive search efforts, no wreckage or sign of Valentich has ever been found, leaving the events of that fateful night shrouded in unanswered questions and enduring speculation about the possible encounter with extraterrestrial beings. ----------------- Visit us on the web- http://www.asylum817.com ----------------- to support the show, check us out on Patreon- http://www.patreon.com/asylum817 ----------------- DISTROKID AFFILIATE LINK: https://www.distrokid.com/vip/seven/3128872 ----------------- Want to promote your brand, YouTube channel, Etsy page, charity, event or podcast on the show?

We spend an hour chatting with Todd Ogborn and Joseph Kass, two golf professionals who visited Australia earlier in the year. Travelling to our shores from the north east of the USA, the guys made sure to hit every spot they could on their journey Down Under, and they didn't miss a beat! Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Bellarine Peninsula, King Island and Barnbougle – they played it. And they also managed to fit in a little side trip to New Zealand! It was so insightful to listen to their perspective on the local golf scene, our courses and Australian golf culture. Their recall for holes and courses is stellar and what they discuss is a solid backbone of any bucket list golf trip to Australia. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed chatting!

It was Oct. 21, 1978, and the sun was setting on the Australian horizon. At 6:19 p.m., a young pilot named Frederick Valentich took off in a rented Cessna 182L from Moorabbin Airport in Victoria. He was en route to King Island, a 130-mile journey over a body of water known as the Bass Strait. The Strait is famous for its difficult flying conditions, but on this night, the skies were clear and the winds calm. Valentich was eager to reach his destination, where his friends awaited, ready to dine on fresh seafood along the water's edge. Sadly, Valentich never made that dinner date, nor any thereafter. At 7:06 p.m., he called into Air Flight Service, citing an unidentified flying object maneuvering around him. Neither Valentich nor his aircraft were ever found.   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com     Sources: https://www.planeandpilotmag.com/news/pilot-talk/2020/11/23/mysteries-of-flight-alien-abduction-or-pilot-error/ https://youtu.be/exmsvn2G34U 4:30 audio https://youtu.be/O0KWMLb7vN0 https://youtu.be/xK44nFczul0 https://youtu.be/-Isy8ZfJf-Q https://youtu.be/vhH_64Rh7fc https://youtu.be/AIOTi-dLBJY https://www.snopes.com/articles/383824/frederick-valentich-ufo-disappearance/

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off talking about how October is finally here and it's time for some Halloween Fun! Then, a First Nations man in British Columbia comes across hundreds of medicine man tributes to Sasquatch. He also discovers huge 2-toed prints. He is now fearful of disturbing the carved tributes. Then, a well known US chief medical examiner claims he was told there are alien tissues being stored at Walter Reed. After the break, Kyle brings up one of Australia's most famous Alien Abduction cases "The Mysterious Disappearance of Frederick Valentich". On the evening of October 21, 1978, a 20-year-old Australian pilot flew a familiar route from Melbourne airport to King Island. From all reports, it wasn't a difficult one. But for the young Frederick Valentich, whatever happened while flying over the Bass Strait proved fatal. He never came home, and his body was never recovered. Was it an Alien Abduction or simply a pilot error? This and much more on this week's episode of Expanded Perspectives!
