Farmers and residents in South-West Queensland are getting hammered by torrential rain which they didn't know was coming because there is no rain radar in the area. Murweh Mayor Shaun Radnedge told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "We've been advocating for the last six years that I've been involved, to the federal government of putting a rain radar in the western part of Queensland." "Now, the closest radar is Alice Springs, you have one in Mount Isa, one in Longreach and one in Charleville." "These areas that are getting impacted at the moment had no warning." "For those graveyards that we talk about and it's always cattle and sheep out in those areas, they're going to have huge stock losses because they've never had time to shift their stock," Mr. Radnedge said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We listen to Seth Andrews, host of “The Thinking Atheist” podcast, read Dan Barker's article “The Top 10 Absolute Worst Old Testament Verses.” Then, we hear Washington Post columnist Kate Cohen's entertaining and thought-provoking speech at FFRF's 2024 convention called “Tampon Tim and the Long Reach of Religion.”

We had our podcast interview with Keith Ballard safely “in the can” before he reported for duty at Saturday's Julia Creek Cup fixture at Mount Isa. It's now history that the legendary jockey went out a winner on the final ride of his 55 year career. Keith was winless in the first four races, but turned it around in the last when he went straight to the lead on Metal Bar and romped home by more than five lengths in the Julia Creek Cup. The fairy tale was enhanced by the fact that Keith's wife Denise trains the winner. Two days earlier we caught up with the 71 year old to reminisce a little about his remarkable career. He began by revealing that Denise had been trying to get him to retire for quite some time. He talks about a recent Cloncurry win on Capiteel for his trainer wife and acknowledges the support of trainer Tanya Parry. Keith talks about Denise's former riding career in an era when female jockeys were battling for recognition. He says Denise isn't too tough on him when his judgement is astray. The veteran says he was humbled in the extreme when the Ballards of Mount Isa were inducted into the Racing Queensland Hall Of Fame in 2021. Keith talks about the likelihood of withdrawal symptoms in the months ahead. The evergreen horseman says his nerve has remained intact.  He gives a few reasons for his longevity as a professional jockey. The Longreach born horseman says he was initially inspired by the riding success of his uncle Jim Ballard.  Keith pays tribute to his stoic and hard working mother, and speaks of his six brothers. He recalls his very first race ride, and an unforgettable first win on the very same horse.  Keith says he's been relatively lucky when it comes to race falls, but he looks back on one bad buster at age 62- the worst fall in his long career. That fall occurred at remote McKinlay best known as the venue for many scenes in the famous Crocodile Dundee movies. Keith remembers some of the best horses he's ridden over more than half a century. His number one vote goes to Mr Ziesel, big by stature and big on ability. He pays tribute to the consistent Kerr Street. He won nine races on the horse in one season including the 1983 Darwin Cup. Keith remembers King Wells. He won 17 races on the former Victorian. The veteran says his career wouldn't have been complete without a Birdsville Cup win. He ticked that one off the bucket list in 2009. Keith talks about Sahara Canadian. He won 11 races on the grey, including one at faraway Ballina. He talks about another prolific winner in Be Somebody. He once drove 1000km to ride the horse at Darwin even though he knew the gelding couldn't win. Keith pays tribute to a handful of jockeys for whom he had special admiration. He makes special mention of a talented bush trainer. Keith pays a heartfelt tribute to son Dan, a very talented jockey whose career has been terminated by weight problems. Ballard says his failure to ride a metropolitan winner doesn't faze him too much. He talks about a handful of other jockeys who rode into advanced years. It was a great pleasure to talk to a genuine Queensland racing icon.

Send us a textWhat happens when a simple journey to Opalton turns into an unforgettable adventure? Equipped with our capable off-road vehicles, we finally conquered the challenging terrain that had previously stopped us in our tracks. Join us as we set up camp at the rustic Opalton Bush Camp, where simplicity meets serenity with donkey boiler showers and expansive camping grounds. The beauty of the outback revealed itself in unexpected ways, offering both challenges and moments of pure wonder.The real gem of Opalton, however, was our encounter with Glen, the captivating opal miner whose humorous storytelling made our stay so memorable. With his generous spirit, Glen led us on an early morning tour to secret fossicking spots. Armed with buckets and spray bottles that he generously provides for free, families come together in the thrill of the opal hunt, forging bonds amidst the rugged beauty of the landscape. The night's sky, dotted with a billion stars and the crackling of our communal fire, left a lasting mark, and we urge travellers to support Glen's unique crafts, a testament to the outback's authentic charm.Our journey continued to Longreach, with local wildlife sightings and fascinating roadside attractions guiding the way, Longreach proved to be a treasure trove of experiences. A highlight was the Qantas Founders Museum, where we explored aviation history and marveled at the iconic 747-200, thanks to insightful guides John and Sarah. From the museum's art exhibits to its interactive offerings, Longreach welcomed us with open arms, ensuring it became a memorable chapter in our adventure across Outback Queensland.Subscribe to Jasperoo - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCceGx3esRSQBYZfWvf4KVtw Our YouTube channel www.youtube.com/thefeelgoodfamily has a new destination video every Tuesday night at 7.30pm (AEST).

"Because Gandhi, after all, called nonviolence not only a force, but the greatest power mankind has been endowed with. And I think that this is true. And I think it's true because nonviolence is in some way the core of our nature. It's a core of what makes us human. It's what the philosopher Aristotle would have called our built-in telos. That a telos means an end goal, but it's an end goal which is embedded within us and needs to be unpacked and understood and developed. So, you can, in this sense, look at evolution and, of course, our human evolution, as a drive towards manifesting that telos, that nonviolent capacity within us. And that, I believe, is why nonviolence is so powerful."

I first met Josh Fleming when he visited the Sky Studios with family members in 2000. He was just 15 at the time, but already a professional race caller in Queensland. He'd debuted at Longreach a year earlier and had subsequently called the action at several far flung tracks. He was too young to take part in Sky's first “young race caller scholarship” but landed a job in his own right three years later. He's come a long way from that nervous start at Longreach, and the story makes for an interesting podcast. Josh recalls that brief visit to the Sky studios almost 25 years ago. He pays tribute to the grandmother who lived long enough to see him make his race calling debut. Josh cherishes memories of his meeting with the late Graham McNeice on that Sunday morning in 2000. The 39 year old calls regularly from Doomben, Eagle Farm and the Sunny Coast. He rates the popular tracks. Josh has just returned from his 21st visit to the Birdsville Cup. He talks of the unique two day carnival on the edge of the Simpson Desert. He says he was horrified in 1995 when his school teacher mother Alison announced her transfer to Barcaldine 1000 kms from his beloved Brisbane.  Josh talks of his friendship with stipendiary steward John Wallace who took him to several outback meetings, and was instrumental in getting him the Longreach “gig”. His debut was impressive enough to generate a few more race calling opportunities in the region. It was back to Brisbane in 2001 and some work experience at 4TAB. Josh looks back on his many “practice” calls at Doomben and Eagle Farm. He had invaluable input from Wayne Wilson and Alan Thomas. The dedicated broadcaster remembers with affection the beginning of his Sydney role with Skychannel. He was ust 18. Josh looks back on the experience he gained on provincial and country tracks. He seized the opportunity to cover city meetings for three months on Sky Racing Radio. He has some precious memories from that chapter in his career. He was thrilled to be offered the full time Brisbane role when Alan Thomas decided to pull up stumps. He's never forgotten Alan's final day on the Gold Coast. Two weeks after Alan's retirement Josh got to cover the Magic Millions meeting- a $10 million dollar race day. He called the easy win by Capitalist. Josh got a bonus on the day when he called the great sprinter Buffering in a $1 million dollar race. He remembers the special day in 2008 when he met his future wife Gabrielle at a Queensland picnic race meeting. Josh speaks with pride and affection about his two children Olivia and Jackson. He chooses to live in the picturesque Darling Downs township of Warwick. Josh says he doesn't mind the travel involved. To say he was born to be a race caller might seem to be a fanciful phrase- in Josh Fleming's case the old cliche holds true.

A teenage Julie Eggerling drove her grandfather to the races one day and that was it, she was hooked.  Julie has owned many horses , bred a lot of her own and bought others in as ready to race horses. She gets joy from all of them.  Working in the stables and being hands on every day sets Julie apart from most owners, and she loves that she still gets to nurture the connection with horses she's always had.  Julie is the owners rep on the Central West committee and played an instrumental role in resurrecting the now very successful Alpha Jockey Club.  Julie also makes a mean corn meat sandwich.  More Than Mail is proudly brought to you by Brodie Agencies, McKinlay.

In small country communities, everyone knows everyone, but this makes escaping domestic violence much more complicated. In towns like Longreach, where there is hardly any crime, the problem is still very much behind close doors.

ONE in six people in Australia experience food insecurity and hunger on a weekly basis. Now a unique outback initiative has been launched enabling members of the Australian cattle industry to help their city counterparts and raise much needed funds to support those in need. The inaugural 2025 Great Australian Charity Cattle Drive was officially unveiled by Beef Bank director Bim Struss during the sold-out Rural Press Club of Queensland breakfast during Beef Week in Rockhampton. The drive will see 2000 head of cattle walked by professional drovers and paying supporters on horseback along designated stock routes from Longreach to Roma in May next year. In this week's Weekly Grill, Bim chats with host Kerry Lonergan about the exciting project, designed to bring city and country together.

Max Verstappen wouldn't arrive at an F1 race and hire a car he's never driven before, but 14-year-old barrel racer Tyler Morton is doing the rodeo equivalent. When she goes to the USA in June for the World Junior High School Championships she will be hiring her horse, having never ridden it. How big of a risk is this and can the Queensland teenager make a career out of rodeo?Featured: Hannah Walsh, reporter, ABC Western Queensland.Subscribe to the ABC Sport Newsletter

In the heart of the of Queensland Outback lies the small town of Longreach, adults are running around hiding from each other - for weeks at a time.

The state government has bought the outback station nestled between Longreach and the Diamantina Lakes, planning to create a corridor of national parks in some of the most unique country in Queensland. It's the next chapter for a landscape known for its opal bearing-ranges, indigenous watering holes and as a cattle and sheep grazing operation. It comes as the federal government outlined the next stage of it's plan for a tough new Environmental Protection Agency to police conservation efforts.

Natalie Stockdale Natalie Stockdale's life has stretched, from being an outback teacher, governess, and grazier on sheep and cattle stations around Longreach, Queensland, to sailing with whales and dolphins in her ecotourism business, and international work as a Humane Educator, promoting kindness to all life on earth.  In 2009, however, Natalie's world fell apart through divorce. Eighteen months later, she contracted cancer. After surviving cancer and eventually waking up to the importance of resilience for our mind AND body, she resigned from her job as CEO of the Jane Goodall Institute Australia and dived into the study of Mind Body Medicine and Stress Management.  On a mission to make happier, resilient people, Natalie is now a Resilience Coach for individuals, organisations, and communities. Natalie believes that hardships are an inevitable and essential part of life experiences that shape our character and enrich our lives. How we handle our hardships is a choice. Happiness is a choice. The author of two books, that explore the keys to human resilience through personal stories, Natalie has distilled a list of 25 tools that help people to recover from trauma. In this episode, Natalie talks about how resilient people use a variety of inner and external resources to help them recover.  How she has noticed particular character virtues that are common. Virtues like courage, kindness, flexibility (adapting to changes), optimism, authenticity, purposefulness, and gratitude. And how resilient people have in common is their determination to never, ever give up. They make a choice to not be a victim, but instead to rise and recover, regardless of the circumstances.  Discover why it is not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. So, empower yourself with resilience tools and draw upon them as needed.  You are resilient. Think about what you have been through and risen from so far.  This is a must-listen. Then check out Natalie's books. Campfire for the Heart, and Campfire for a Woman's Heart.

School principal to race caller is an easy leap to make, both require meticulous research and planning and rarely does the outcome match the plan.  Rob Luck has always enjoyed the races and loves to unearth the stories that unfold in the industry. Arriving in Longreach in charge of a school, Rob's interest in horses soon lead him to the Longreach Jockey Club where he started emceeing race meets, joined the committee and became President, and found a new passion in race calling.

I was involved in some fairly major covert operations while working surveillance. However, none as serious as the great "Longreach police social club scandal 2023". Involving one of the greatest undercover operations in police history where covert cameras were used to uncover one of their own stealing $36 worth of chocolates. Maybe QPS could use free chocolates to lure more recruit applicants? This is just my opinion.

Andrew joins David to discuss the Longreach Energy Income Fund, a fund that targets a total return of 20% p.a. (net of fees) inclusive of an income return target of 8% p.a. by investing in US energy through real assets, such as producing land and mineral interests. As economies transition towards a future global energy mix increasingly powered by renewable energy, Longreach argue that natural gas offers the most sustainable bridge to greener technologies. Throughout the episode, Andrew covers the investment opportunity available in US natural gas assets, and in particular how this compares to global counterparts including Australia. Andrew has extensive principal investment experience in global upstream gas and oil, gained during a career that has seen him co-found and lead the London office for the gas and oil investment division of Macquarie Bank. He has particular expertise in transaction execution, financial modelling and structuring investments as well as identifying attractive projects and evaluating the commercial potential of assets.

Wayne Gerard wears a number of hats. By day, he is the Co-Founder & CEO of RedEye and the current Queensland Chief Entrepreneur. He lives on a working farm outside of Brisbane, is a trail runner and is deeply passionate about innovation, entrepreneurship, the climate, helping others and making a difference with the time we have!  Wayne spent 10 years in the ARMY straight out of school, first as a tactical communications officer and later with a key role to build the ARMY's first drone.

RedEye was born with BHP the very first customer. Fast forward 10 years and Wayne has taken up position as Queensland Chief Entrepreneur - a position he will hold until the end of 2022.  His key focus priorities in this role include:  To help the existing industry to be as sustainable and successful as possible by partnering with QLD innovators, entrepreneurs and researchers  To build the next emerging industry and new economy To focus on regional - entrepreneurship and innovation can happen anywhere, from Longreach to Gladstone or Cairns  To unlock partnerships with the Brisbane 2032 Olympics During their chat, Ian and Wayne cover a range of topics, all highlighting Wayne's desire to make a difference and help others - particularly those in the innovation and entrepreneurship space. One of the key takeaways: Resilience is learnt as you go on your journey. Know you're not alone. It's hard work but keep going. What you're doing is going to make a difference!  QUICKFIRE ROUND  Book: Lifespan by Dr David Sinclair  Podcast: Rich Roll, The A16Z Podcast  News Source: tries not to focus on the news - prefers to focus on customers  App: Garmin, Strava - for trail running  Fav Tech CEO: Elon Musk  Productivity Tool: Redeye  TV Show: The Terminal List  Ted Talk Topic: Building resilient economies for innovation See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
