Talking further on National Road Safety Week starting today – a timesurely to reflect on the current poor driving standard in this state, Thecampaign is national however we still don’t have a set of national roadrules – individual states still singing from a different hymn book. NationalRoad Safety Week is the work of Peter Frazer who daughter Sarah wastragically killed by a truck driver in a totally avoidable crash on the HumeHighway at Mittagong in Feb 2012 when her car broke down. Tow truckdriver Geoffrey Clark and Sarah were loading her car when they were killedby the passing truck. Soon after N.S.W. expanded the road rule requiringdrivers to slow down to 40km/h for emergency responders to also includetow truck and roadside assistance workers. Amazingly, Victoria onlyannounced this week that from July 1 the current road rule requiringdrivers and motorcycle riders to slow down to 40km/h for police, fire, andambulance would be expanded - now including tow trucks, roadsideassistance and incident response vehicles displaying flashing lights. Itbeggars’ belief that after Sarah Frazer’s tragic death in 2012 it’s takenVictoria 13 years to implement a road rule which surely should have beennational road rule from Day 1.

I'm really chuffed to be bringing you this very special live recording of the Company podcast from regional co-working space, The Collective, Grenfell run by Belinda Mahwinney and Ant Dixon. Jane Cay grew up in Cooma, she went away to boarding school in Mittagong, her first ‘big girl' job was at IBM in Sydney, then she fell in love, with Oli, quit her job and moved her life to Cooma. In a way it was the beginning of the rest of her life as the Big Bird of BirdsNest, and it was a path she never envisaged.She moved her life to Cooma. Bought retail clothing shop, High Country Outfitters.In 2008 she took the business Online, everyone said she was crazy. Online wasn't a thing back then. The business grew and grew and grew, Jane and Oli had three children and life was busy. At some point Jane googled ‘How do I calm down?' and alongside a survey of staff, Jane was set off on a new trajectory of self awareness, that ultimately has seen her family owned business and Jane's leadership journey, go from strength to strength to strength.In 2017 BirdsNest came 4th in the BRW Great Places to Work Awards and then nest year Jane was awarded number one in the Top 50 People in E-commerce in Internet Retailing. Today we're going to delve into this journey, with a particular focus on Jane's journey of leadership and self awareness.

Featuring: Steve Collins Originally, Berrima was designed to be the capital of the Southern Highlands. Those plans went awry when the railway was built. The Old Hume Highway ran right through Berrima, but the railway was diverted in another direction, passing through Mittagong, Bowral and Moss Vale, which allowed those towns to flourish and Berrima to remain rather sedentary.

It’s now twelve years since Norm Lang put away the harness and hopples for the last time. The game of bowls now commands his full attention. The eighty five year old has vivid memories of his exciting journey with Steel Jaw- the $5000 horse he took from a maiden pace to a NZ Cup in a very short time. He covers the whole Steel Jaw story, and for trots fans it’s riveting listening. Norm takes us back to his days as an Ampol agent at Mittagong, and his introduction to trotting by local trainer George Walton. He remembers his first winning drive at Canowindra and the near accident before he even left the parade yard. The veteran horseman recalls his purchase of a broodmare and the success he had with her two foals. Norm pays tribute to a select group of horses who took him to a prominent spot on the Harold Park trainer’s ladder. He talks about the reputation he enjoyed of being able to keep horses up for long periods of time. Norm quit race driving in the 1991/92 season but continued to train for another 17 years. He explains the reason for that surprise decision. Sounding much younger than his 85 years, Norm Lang reviews a very rewarding career.

Katy Gilles shares her story of seeking a deeper connection with God. And it was from this experience that Katy went on to create places for others to connect. Spaces where people can be authentic, can be heard and can be held. In her role as a Family Educator in the Sydney Archdiocese Katy created spaces for mothers and children under five years to meet weekly and over the last six years she has created opportunities for women to gather annually for a retreat at the Hermitage in Mittagong. During these years Katy has witnessed first-hand the way in which our relationships deepen through our willingness to be vulnerable. For all those seeking to create spaces for parents to meet and share their spirituality this Episode provides invaluable wisdom and experience.  "In order for connection to happen, we have to allow ourselves to be seen, really seen."

In episode 50 of the Mind Your Own Retirement podcast, Deeksie and Kaye get back together to talk money, health and travel for those in retirement – or planning it. First up, author and accountant Dr Adrian Raftery, a.k.a. ‘Mr Taxman’, shares updates on ways retirees can maximise their tax returns as the end of the financial year beckons. And whether you’re enjoying the sunshine in Broome or dodging rain in Adelaide, it’s still winter all over Australia. So Dr Billy Stoupas, practising GP and spokesperson for the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, highlights the winter maladies we need to avoid, and how to do so. It’s great to be finally emerging from the strict social distancing triggered by COVID-19, which means travel is right back on the agenda, with New South Wales our first destination in focus. The folk at Destination NSW have just released a list of 213 things to do, revolving around food, culture, nature, wildlife, beaches and Indigenous activities and experiences. We speak with Izabella Lane, tourism coordinator for the Southern Highlands, about this special region of NSW, the main towns of Moss Vale, Mittagong, Bowral, Bundanoon and Berrima, and the amazing Pie Festival that is celebrated across the region in June.

Two weeks ago, the Morton National Park fire crossed the Shoalhaven river, destroying four homes in Bundanoon.The last time the Southern Highlands saw a fire like this was 1965, so no one was really prepared.The residents of Bundanoon only got an emergency phone call 30 minutes before the fire hit the town. By that time it was too late to leave. It was hard not to feel trapped when you looked at the giant dark patches moving in on the Fires Near Me app. There were fire fronts descending from the north and coming in from the west too.In this bonus episode, I'm interviewing Dr Rebekah Hoffman, a GP based in Mittagong.Communities turn to GPs during disasters, not just for treatment but for emotional support. It's a lot to carry on your shoulders.I'm interested to hear from Dr Hoffman what it's been like on the ground.

I recently had the pleasure of catching up with Australian contemporary basket maker and sculptor Catriona Pollard who in this interview shares with us some of her personal journey coming from the world of business to rediscover a part of herself through the art of basketry.

Join us to hear about Catriona's process of collecting and giving new life to materials, her approach to making and her current exhibition which is on until June 3 2018 at Sturt Contemporary Australian Craft and Design in Mittagong (south of Sydney) http://www.sturt.nsw.edu.au/ To hear more TextileStories subscribe to our channel or visit: http://www.textilesupport.net/blog To see more of Catriona's work go to: http://theartofweaving.com.au/ Would you prefer to watch a slideshow while you listen?
