In this episode of Educator Yarns, Jess Staines speaks with Linda Wilson, a dedicated early childhood teacher at Sentia Early Learning in Melbourne CBD. Originally from Sweden, Linda shares how her childhood experiences exploring Swedish forests shaped her deep appreciation for nature as a teacher and guide. Now living and working on Wurundjeri Country, Linda beautifully intertwines her background in Nordic Forest pedagogy with Aboriginal perspectives in her teaching practice. Despite being based in Melbourne's urban centre, Linda has led her kindergarten children on more than 30 excursions to connect with Country, learn about local Aboriginal history, and develop meaningful relationships with the land. Her approach demonstrates how educators can follow children's natural curiosity to explore Aboriginal perspectives, even in city-based settings. Linda's journey from knowing very little about Aboriginal culture upon arriving in Australia to embedding it meaningfully in her practice offers valuable insights for educators seeking to deepen their understanding and approach to cultural connections. Key Takeaways: The Swedish approach to early childhood education emphasises consistent time in nature, with some kindergartens located entirely outdoors where children cook on open fires and engage with natural resources. Revisiting the same natural spaces repeatedly is crucial for deepening children's connection and learning, allowing them to move beyond initial excitement to more meaningful engagement. Linda's personal experience of spending days exploring Swedish forests as a child shaped her teaching philosophy and her belief that nature can provide a grounding, calming influence in our fast-paced society. Children's questions about their local environment (like "Who made the Yarra River?" and "Where does it flow?") can serve as powerful starting points for exploring Aboriginal perspectives and connections to Country. The Aboriginal 8 Ways of Learning framework, particularly the 'land links' approach, provides a valuable structure for educators wanting to connect teaching through culture rather than just about culture. Each year, Linda's program focuses on different aspects of Country based on the children's interests—from the Yarra River's history to food sources at Birrarung Marr to land caring at Port Phillip Bay. Despite challenges in maintaining ongoing relationships with local Aboriginal communities in urban settings, educators can access ethical resources like the mapping tool developed by Melbourne Council in collaboration with Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung peoples. Children in urban settings can develop meaningful connections to Country through regular excursions that help them recognise the Aboriginal history and significance of familiar places. There is a natural synergy between nature-based pedagogies (like the Swedish forest school approach) and Aboriginal perspectives on connection to land that educators can draw upon in their practice. Stories such as that of Bunjil the Eagle become powerful tools for children to understand Creation stories and develop respect for Traditional Owners, even when learning occurs primarily in urban environments. Linda Wilson's journey from the forests of Sweden to teaching on Wurundjeri Country demonstrates how educators can weave together different cultural approaches to nature-based learning. By following children's natural curiosity, revisiting significant places, and drawing on ethical resources, educators can foster meaningful connections to Country even in urban settings. As you reflect on your own practice, consider how you might incorporate regular experiences on Country that allow children to develop deeper relationships with the land and greater understanding of Aboriginal perspectives. How might you use mapping tools and local resources to enhance your knowledge and confidence in embedding Aboriginal perspectives in your program? Access the episode resources here.

Reflections includedhow being queer and disabled can be conjoined, and then judged, by ableist people.the hazards of queer disable persons internalising the judgements of others.how ableist behaviour is generally considered unacceptable, but yet it persists.visable and invisable disability, and how attitudes toward them can differ.How pride in oneself as a queer person with lived experience in disability actually adds to the inherent value we already have, as people who exist in the world.Lunar shared some of her poetry; The Battle Within, and Gaze in the Mirror.We ruminated a little on the expense of coffee under late stage capitalism (and why some spoons have holes in them).Community Links:TGD Bookclub, 10 May, 1 - 2:30pm, Free Event, Thorne Harbour Health Building 200 Hoddle St, Abbottsford; and online.Frooty Loops Meetup, 6 - 9pm, Every Second Sunday, Free Event, Little Foot Bar, 223 Barkly St, Footscray.Identity Test, A Trans Existential Drama and Caberet, at Butterfly Club, 5 Carson Place, Melbourne CBD. 7pm, 28th April to 3rd May; Tickets $39 standard, $35 concession.Queer Multicultural Carnival, 7th June, 10am - 6pm.

In PX112, our interview guest is Jessica Lee, a principal architect at Fender Katsalidis Architects (https://fkaustralia.com). Jessica discusses the ‘Alba' project, the conversion of a 1970's former office building into 150 rooms of age appropriate housing (retirement accommodation and aged care). The site is located within South Melbourne, an inner city suburb in Melbourne, Victoria Australia. The cost of the conversion was $125m (AU). Whilst not being significantly cheaper than a rebuild there were environmental savings according to Jessica. In the interview Jessica discusses the project from start to finish. There was the initial ‘whats the building like', ‘'whats under the surfaces', to scoping the logistics of conversions (very different from a vacant site), finding a suitable builder (not all high rise builders have the equipment or skill set to do this type of work), services upgrades and the intricate details of providing contemporary residential accommodation (along with the end user needs).  Jessica indicates that a review of the Melbourne CBD found only 6% of sites are candidates for such conversions. Frequent killers of such projects are the depth of a site and the position of lift cores, the reasons being apartments need natural light unlike office buildings. Also the ‘bones' of a structure building in terms of structure and floor to floor heights may not be suitable. Applying contemporary safety and environmental standards are also difficult to satisfy. The interview explores the design concept as well as the 'nuts and bolts' and up close descriptions of the building project. At times it is like being on site mid project with hard hat, boots and vest. The conversion of office buildings to residential has been touted in many planning publications and strategies as a solution to various housing crisis. The interview reveals that such conversions are possible but not many sites are suitable and there are specialist requirements in undertaking the challenge. Jessica provides a clear eyed view of a not well understood issue. One insight from the interview is that blanket planning policies or government subsidies promoting such conversions at the expense of complete rebuilds may not be cost effective, environmentally benefical or practical. More about our interview guest - the FK Architecture website has the following profile of Jessica: “Led by her boundless passion for architecture, Jess has become a highly regarded principal at Fender Katsalidis. Since her early days with the practice, she has always displayed a penchant for planning and design development. Fifteen years on, she has blossomed into the quintessential modern architect and exudes the winning culture and ethos that FK represents. With unwavering tenacity, Jess completed her architecture studies at RMIT with honours and landed a job documenting projects at Fender Katsalidis soon after. Her ability to assimilate multiple viewpoints into buildable realities honours the firm's design intent, quickly and to the highest quality. These valued traits have brought her quite gratification, as well as renown to the firm. As a student of the built environment, Jess is constantly striving to bring architecture back to the notion of it being human centric; and in particular, within the seniors living sector. That enduring resilience within her continues to result in good design being accessible to more people from all walks of life.” A terrific interview subject with a great passion for buildings, cities and life.

Shadow Attorney-General Michaelia Cash has raised the possibility that Finance Minister Katy Gallagher misled parliament after revelations were aired suggesting Senator Gallagher was aware of Brittany Higgins' allegations against Bruce Lehrmann four days before she claimed to have had no advance knowledge of them in the Senate.  Tobacconists in Sydney are peddling black market cigarettes with one in four tobacco products consumed in Australia coming from an illegal source, costing the Federal government $4.2 billion last year.  Queenslanders have been warned they could face even higher prices and more delays for new homes as the state ­government pushes forward with a proposal to regulate the development industry.   More than 5000 vehicles that service the Melbourne CBD every day could be hindered from making vital deliveries, collecting rubbish or attending work sites as a result of a council plan to limit vehicles in the Hoddle Grid.  MPs and staff working late at SA Parliament House have been told to leave in groups and avoid long waits for buses amid “the current prevalence of anti-social behaviour” on North Terrace. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over the last couple of years Melbourne has been experiencing a spike of heroin-related fatal overdoses. Consequently, the Victorian Government has been looking to put another safe injecting room in Melbourne CBD, with most recent talks suggesting Flinders Street Station could be the location.  Melbourne's first injecting room in Richmond has helped save 63 people in the last 4 years. However, despite this evidence of effectiveness, there has been significant community backlash to the idea of a safe injecting room in the heart of the city.  That's why this week, we wanted to share a story from the All The Best Archives. Originally airing in 2019, this story explores the community impact of the Richmond injecting room. That story was originally made for CBAA's 2018 National Features and Documentary Series was produced by Aoife Cook.

Welcome to another episode of Kindful the Podcast. Today we're talking about a really important topic: recognising ourselves. We can be so quick to focus on what's going 'wrong' in our lives, that we lose sight of the journey and just how far we've come to get us to where we are today. I was reminded of this last week, as I took a leisurely train trip into Melbourne CBD, and reminisced about how this time three years ago I was in a completely different place. I used to dream about the life I live today, and yet so often I find myself taking it for granted. I forget to recognise just how far I've come, and get caught up in all of the 'problems' in my life or focus on where I think I should be, instead of where I am. This is human nature. Of course life will present us with challenges along the way, it always does. And it's our attitude towards what is happening that can determine how we move through it. Are we resisting, avoiding or judging our experience? Or are we allowing ourselves to see the opportunities for learning and growth that life is presenting us with. I hope you enjoy today's conversation. Thank you for being here and being you.

Whether that's through zero waste restaurants, completely rethinking building designs, or integrating food and living systems, Joost's projects are known for their incredible impact and sheer audacity. One of most recent projects was Future Food System in the Fed Square; a zero-waste, sustainably built and operated building in the heart of Melbourne CBD which grew its own food on site for the chefs that inhabited it and cooked there, and it was fucking EPIC. If you didn't get a chance to see it or hear much about it, you're in luck, because his documentary, ‘Greenhouse by Joost' is out this week in cinemas across the country, which you should definitely check out. In this conversation we talk about a whole lot of topics including Joost's inspirations for his work, his stories from travelling the world, the impacts of the modern world on human health, the idea that technology will save us, our human tendencies towards comfort and convenience, and so much more. But the essence of this conversation, and what all of Joost's projects show, is that we don't have to wait for, or demand other people to, change. In Joost's words: “No revolution started with a politician”. If we want to create a better world, we need to be better. And it's not only possible; it's the only way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode Six – Mornington Peninsula Part 1 This edition starts off with another brief news of the week segment which ranges from Australian history, to a whisper of new developments at Barnbougle, and a brief chat on specifics of the Kingswood golf course land sale. This is the first of two episodes devoted to the Mornington Peninsula, and we focus largely on one of the treasures of Australian golf – The National and their three courses at Cape Schanck, on the southern segment of the Mornington peninsula, a little over an hour's car trip south of the Melbourne CBD. From the bold design of the Club's first course (by Robert Trent Jones Jnr) to the Moonah course produced by Greg Norman Golf Course Design, and the Gunnamatta course by Tom Doak and Renaissance Golf Design. The history and characteristics of each of the layouts, as well as some design specifics are covered. As usual, images of the holes discussed can be found on our Instagram page (@AustralianGolfPassport) . We hope they add to the discussion and aid your enjoyment of the topic.

Fast forward to 2016 and Dani opened his first Royal Stacks venue in Collins Street, right in the centre of the Melbourne CBD and office sector.
