She walked Valentino runways at $10,000 a day, built a media career that spanned some of Australia's biggest brands, and was awarded Gold in Fashion & Textiles and Silver in Agriculture & Farming at the Women Changing the World Global Awards in London, 2025. And then she moved to a sheep station in Walcha, New South Wales.But here's what makes Vanessa Bell's story genuinely worth your time: this isn't a fish-out-of-water tale about a city woman finding herself on the land. It's a masterclass in what happens when someone with serious commercial firepower looks out across a paddock and asks, what is actually possible here?Vanessa is the Founder and CEO of her eponymous Australian luxury knitwear brand — crafted from Merino wool grown on her own property and produced with leading Italian mills. A Woolmark Licensee and RWS-certified wool grower, she works at the intersection of fashion, agriculture and sustainability, and champions natural fibres as the future of luxury. She also hosts the Fashion to Farmer podcast and speaks internationally on traceability, regenerative agriculture, and the global value of Australian Merino wool.In this conversation with Ben Law, she gets into the real thinking behind building a business that operates at both ends of the value chain — from what happens in the shearing shed all the way to the global consumer.What made her walk away from a career that had taken her from the runways of Tokyo and Vienna to the boardrooms of Sydney? What does it actually look like to grow wool fit for purpose — and then partner with one of Italy's most exclusive production houses to turn it into a globally recognised luxury knitwear label? How do you build a brand that refuses to discount, holds its value over time, and is designed to last a decade? And what does Vanessa believe is the real difference between farming families who talk about diversifying and those who actually do it?There's also a pointed conversation about what farming families might be leaving on the table — not because they lack opportunity, but because of the way they think about what they produce and where their role in it ends. Vanessa challenges that thinking directly.

 What if the most underutilised tool in your family business isn't a piece of machinery, a management software, or a new hire — but a structured room full of the right people, asking the right questions?In this episode of the Agricoach Wealth & Wisdom Podcast, Ben Law sits down with Mike Logan AM — farmer, business coach, and one of Australia's most respected advisory board chairmen — to unpack why some of the most successful family businesses in agriculture have quietly adopted a structure that most farming families have never even considered: the family advisory board.Mike brings rare credentials to this conversation. He didn't come from a boardroom — he came from the paddock. A cotton and beef farmer who once stretched his balance sheet to breaking point to build something bigger, Mike knows what it means to make high-stakes decisions with no-one in the room but yourself. That hard-won experience eventually led him from farming to chairing advisory boards across Australia and internationally, and it gives him a perspective on family business that few advisors can match.This conversation goes well beyond the concept and into the mechanics — how these boards are structured, why they work, and what stops most families from ever getting the benefit of one. Mike shares the framework he uses to run every board meeting, why he's obsessed with cash over profit, and what the single biggest trap is for any family that tries to run a strategic conversation without the right structure in place.There's also a moment in this episode that farming families with the next generation coming through will want to pause and replay — a candid exchange between Ben and Mike about what it actually takes to transfer wisdom from one generation to the next, and why leaving it to chance — or to osmosis — could be one of the most costly assumptions a family ever makes.Whether you're running a multi-generational enIf this podcast has ever added value to your farming business, we'd love for you to leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.https://pod.link/1598835360  The High Performing Families Roadmap Workshop — 26th & 27th August 2026, Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast.

Most farming families see their accountant once a year — usually in a panic around the 30th of June. The families who are genuinely building something that lasts across generations? They're doing something fundamentally different. And it has very little to do with tax minimisation.In this episode of the AgriCoach Wealth & Wisdom Podcast, Ben Law sits down with Sarah Becker — Director of Becker & Co QLD, Chartered Accountant, Trusted Rural Business Advisor, and Central Queensland beef producer — for a conversation that cuts through the noise around what it actually takes to build a rural family business that goes the distance.Sarah is one of those rare professionals who lives both sides of the fence. She runs a multi-generational accounting practice her family founded 40 years ago, and alongside her husband Rob, she's raising the next generation on 16,000 acres in the Dawson Valley. When she talks about intergenerational wealth, succession, and the role of a trusted advisor, she's not speaking theoretically.What separates the families who thrive over decades from those who stall? Sarah has a clear answer — and it's not what most people expect. She and Ben pull apart the difference between having a dream and having a plan, why the most important financial conversations rural families need to have are rarely happening, and what it really means for your advisor team to be "on the bus."They also tackle some of the harder questions that come with building wealth on the land: what's the actual cost of leaving the next generation out of the conversation? Why do so many high-performing producers treat strategic planning like it's optional? And what does a healthy, productive rhythm with your accountant actually look like throughout the year — not just when June rolls around?Sarah shares a framework for thinking about profit allocation that goes well beyond reinvesting back into the business, andIf this podcast has ever added value to your farming business, we'd love for you to leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.https://pod.link/1598835360  The High Performing Families Roadmap Workshop — 26th & 27th August 2026, Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast.

What if the thing holding your family business back… isn't lack of opportunity — but lack of exposure?In this conversation with Kara Knudsen, co-founder of a rapidly scaling northern cattle operation, we get a rare look at what actually happens when a farming family decides to think bigger, act earlier, and deliberately build something that outlasts them.Kara shares the story behind their growth — from humble beginnings and hard seasons to building a business that no longer relies on family labour to survive. Along the way, she challenges the traditional idea of what a “family business” should look like… and replaces it with something far more resilient.You'll hear how they've approached developing their next generation — not through entitlement, but through responsibility, exposure, and real-world experience. Why stepping outside the farm gate can completely reshape how you see your own business. And what changes when you stop reacting to challenges… and start preparing for them.There's also a deeper thread running through this episode — around discomfort, decision-making, and the moments where things could go either way. The kind of moments most families face… but few talk about.If you've ever wondered how some families seem to grow, adapt, and stay aligned while others stall… this one will get you thinking.If this podcast has ever added value to your farming business, we'd love for you to leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.https://pod.link/1598835360  The High Performing Families Roadmap Workshop — 26th & 27th August 2026, Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast.

Character Over Credentials: Building Success in Agriculture That LastsSome of the most successful people in agriculture didn't follow the neat, modern career path everyone now promotes — and that's exactly the point.In this episode, Ben Law sits down with David Foote — board member at Cattle Australia, former executive at Australian Country Choice, and a lifelong student of leadership — for a conversation that cuts through the noise around success, ambition, and what actually lasts in agriculture.This isn't a story about climbing ladders or chasing titles. It's about what quietly compounds over decades: turning up when no one's watching, learning before leading, and choosing environments that stretch you rather than flatter you. David reflects on the formative experiences that shaped his career — from hard lessons early in life to building scale inside one of Australia's most influential beef businesses — and why so many capable young people sabotage their future by rushing the process.Along the way, Ben and David unpack the tension every farming family feels but rarely articulates: how do you prepare the next generation for responsibility without entitlement? How do you build capability before authority? And why does curiosity often matter more than confidence when the stakes are high?This episode will challenge how you think about leadership, succession, and the kind of character required to build something that outlives you — not just in business, but in family and community as well. If this podcast has ever added value to your farming business, we'd love for you to leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.https://pod.link/1598835360  The High Performing Families Roadmap Workshop — 26th & 27th August 2026, Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast.

Zawody 2024 Australian Surf Life Saving Championship odbyły się na Sunshine Coast w stanie Queensland w Alexandra Headland, Maroochydore i Mooloolaba. Dla Australijczyków to coroczne wydarzenie, podczas którego członkowie 314 australijskich klubów surfingowych spotykają się, aby rywalizować w ponad 480 imprezach na plaży i w oceanie. Jedną z rywalizujących jest 14-letnia Jessica Majsak. Posłuchajmy rozmowy z Jessicą i jej tatą Maciejem...

One of the factors we're constantly searching for, among the thousands of markets across Australia, is CHANGE.  We're on the look-out, every day, for locations where the performance of the property market is set to go to another level because of major changes in the local economy. We sometimes surprise people by recommending areas that have a POOR TRACK RECORD on capital growth. But, essentially, we don't care about the PAST when we're choosing locations to recommend. We're only interested in the FUTURE. When we find a location where a major program of infrastructure development is under way, or there's a big change in the local economy - and we feel confident that this will generate elevated demand for real estate in the area - WE DON'T CARE if that location has delivered minimal growth in the past 10 years. Our process, fundamentally, is about the FUTURE. Let me illustrate the point with some case studies. In the July 2020 edition of our most popular report – the National Top 10 Best Buys report – we listed the Sunshine Coast as our No.1 pick. With the benefit of hindsight, it may appear to be a case of the bleeding obvious. But, at that time, it was quite different. NO ONE wanted to buy Sunshine Coast real estate back then because its track record on capital growth was terrible.  At that time, the long-term capital growth averages of most suburbs ranged from 1% per year to 3% per year. A 10-year growth average of 3% per year means it would take 24 years for property values to double  - and property buyers want much better than that. In the iconic suburb of Twin Waters, the median house price had dropped 13% in the previous 12 months and the long-term growth average was just 2% a year. The vacancy rate for Mooloolaba at that time was above 3%, the precinct around Kawana and Minyama was 3.5% and at Noosa it was above 6%. Why would anyone want to buy there in 2020? You would have to be mad, right? But anyone who DID follow our recommendation, and bought on the Sunshine Coast in 2020, would have experienced, in the next three years, some of the most spectacular capital growth anywhere in Australia. The median house price at Coolum Beach rose from $700,000 in mid-2020 to $1.35 million today – and median unit price rose from $450,000 to $800,000. The median house price at Sunshine Beach rose from around $1.5 million at the start of 2020 to $3.5 million by the start of 2022. It more than doubled in two years! And the median unit price rose from $800,000 in 2020 to $1.5 million today. At Twin Waters, which had such a poor record in 2020, the median house price rose from $800,000 to $1.5 million by mid-2022. There are many, similar, examples throughout the Sunshine Coast market. So, WHY did we recommend a location with such as bad track record in 2020? Because we didn't care about the past, we were focussed on the future.  Infrastructure projects totalling over $20 BILLION were under way or in planning. It was a no-brainer that this would transform the Sunshine Coast market – and it did. Here's another example. We were recommending locations in Perth in editions of the Best Buys report in 2021 – three years ago.  The April 2021 edition of the report featured the City of Rockingham, an affordable bayside precinct in the south of Greater Perth. At that time, most suburbs of Rockingham had long-term capital growth rates of MINUS 1% or 2% per year. In other words, prices there were LOWER in 2021 than they were 10 years earlier! Why on earth would anyone recommend a location where property owners had lost money for the previous decade? Because we could see THE CHANGE coming – in that location and in Perth generally. In the suburb of Golden Bay, the long-term capital growth average in early 2021 was -2% per year. The median house price, then, was $330,000. Today it's $515,000 – it's risen almost 60% in three years. At Port Kennedy, it's gone from $350,000 to $550,000. There's been a similar outcome for every suburb in the City of Rockingham in the past three years. But at the time we recommended it, these locations had capital growth records that were among the WORST in the nation. Now, here's the key thing:- Most real estate consumers would rather buy in an area where prices have grown 50% or 60% in the past two or three years, than buy in an area where prices have shown little growth recently. There are far more people wanting to buy in Perth NOW, at the peak of the boom, than there were in 2021 before the boom started. This makes little sense to the team at Hotspotting. We would rather buy in a location with strong future growth credentials when that market is DOWN, than when it's at its peak. But many investors, it seems, need the APPARENT security provided by recent high growth. That attitude, we believe, shows a lack of understanding of real estate dynamics and fundamentals. Here's the key learning from this:  DO NOT let a poor track record prevent you from buying in an area that has future growth potential. The past is often irrelevant. What matters is the FUTURE.

Today we are taking you for a walk all around Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast as we continue our Australian summer series. We used to live here and we just love it and you will see why when you listen to this episode. The Sunshine Coast is a massive tourist area in Queensland Australia and Mooloolaba is one of the most popular spots for holiday makers – and for good reason.  We tell you all about the water activities available here including whale watching, scuba diving and sunset cruises. It is also home to the Mooloolaba Marina which houses up to 100 boats. We tell you about the newest and most popular dining spot in Mooloolaba and of course our favourite restaurant in the whole of the Sunshine Coast because of the fabulous food but also for another surprising reason. Come with us as we stroll past Underwater World Sea Life Aquarium and I tell you all about my visit here a couple of weeks ago and what you can expect to see.  Next, we take you along the walkway through the dunes to parklands, barbecue areas, playgrounds and then to the “Seafood Precinct”. This is where all the fishing trawlers arrive each day with fresh seafood and you can buy it directly from the fish markets – or eat at one of the many restaurants that serve the local catch. Finally, we go to the famous Mooloolaba surf club and the patrolled beach area which is buzzing with families on the beach, along the parkland and in the playgrounds all the way to the Loo with a view. Lyle and I share a couple of hilarious stories from our boogie boarding days at this beach. Stay listening when we eventually end up at the most popular café, restaurant and shopping area in Mooloolaba. We give you some great info on best places to stay, where to buy your supplies and then we finish with a love story that went viral about a French girl and guy she met in Mooloolaba and her quest to find him.

In celebration of All The Best reaching 500 episodes, we're looking back into the archives and replaying episodes that, while recorded in years past, remain relevant today. This week we're bringing you ‘Coast to Coast', an episode that first aired in September 2012. For many people, the ocean rouses a sense of excitement and adventure, a chance to do something that hasn't been done before. Enjoy these stories, inspired by the place where the land meets the sea. ***************** Stories ahoy! All the Best brings you intriguing tales from the high seas. A South American geologist's rough-and-tumble journey on a raft to Australia leads to a life-changing encounter with Gough Whitlam. And, the real Puberty Blues: a young girl tries to join the blokey surf culture of the 1970s- but an initiation rite in the water goes terribly wrong. That Summer of '75Forget the TV series and the book: the real Puberty Blues started in the summer of 1975. Shé Hawkes was 14, and had begun doing something absolutely outrageous on the beach. Shé- a girl- had started to surf. It wasn't something that the other surfers were going to let her get away with. These days, Shé is a writer and academic: read her piece about women breaking into the surf culture of 1970s Australia, and a fictionalised version of her summer of '75.

It also led to a fateful meeting with Gough Whitlam, just as Chile turned from democracy to dictatorship. See photos and read more about Gabriel's Salas' adventure in this blog post by Zacha Rosen.

Tuna are a prize fish. A top grade tuna, with bright red, nicely marbled meat, is worth thousands on the sashimi market.In Australia, tuna fishers have garnered a reputation of being the rockstars of the fishing community. It has long had a reputation of being a boom or bust fishery but there are several operators who, by applying contemporary business strategies have found themselves at the leading edge of this exciting industry.Pavo and Heidi Walker, of their eponymous Walker Seafoods Australia, own and operate one of the most dynamic and progressive fishing operations in Australia.From their home port of Mooloolaba in South East Queensland they fish the East Coast of Australia for premium quality fish that will ultimately be served in some of the best restaurants in Sydney, Tokyo and New Yorkhttps://www.walkerseafoods.com.auFollow Fishtales, a Seafood Podcast on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/fishtalesseafoodpodcast/Follow John Susman https://www.instagram.com/fisheads/?hl=enFollow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/Follow Huck (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTShttps://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork

A larger dredge should be brought from Brisbane on Monday, to clear a treacherous sandbar that's been endangering lives and damaging vessels at the entrance to Mooloolaba harbour and after an investigation by the ACCC into the use of unfair contract terms in the chicken meat industry some of Australia's processors have agreed to make some changes.

Queensland's Chief Biosecurity Officer says he's having conversations with local government, police, freight companies and many more, to train up staff in preparation of several devastating animal health diseases on Australia's front door and Queensland commercial fisherman say someone will be badly injured or die, unless urgent action is taken to dredge a huge sandbank that's restricting access to Mooloolaba, one of the busiest ports on Australia's east coast.

The one thing I love more than anything is to travel. Travel is my true love and passion. Having a holiday is supposed to be relaxing and fun. Not for many who have a disability. A recent trip to Noosa for a wedding was easy for everyone else to attend but for me, it is a little more complicated.
