I november 1978 blev den lilla landsortsstaden Murwillumbah i Australien skådeplatsen för ett av de mest vågade och mystiska bankrånen i historien. En grupp rånare tog sig in i Bank of New South Wales mitt i natten, stal en förmögenhet på 1,7 miljoner dollar – motsvarande 10 miljoner i dagens värde – och försvann utan ett spår. Polisen var bara 100 meter bort, men ingen hörde eller såg någonting.I detta avsnitt dyker vi ner i den osannolika historien bakom Australiens perfekta kupp. Vilka var rånarna?

Born in Melbourne and based in Adelaide, Australia, artist Clare Belfrage has maintained a distinguished glassblowing practice for over 30 years. Detailed and complex glass drawings on blown glass forms reflect the high-level skill and mastery of the craft that makes her one of the country's most renowned artists in this medium. Inspired by nature and its various rhythms and energies, Belfrage's exquisite sculptural objects express her fine attention to detail and interest in the minutiae of the natural world. Belfrage states: “As an artist, my point of view is often looking from close up. The big feeling that ‘small' gives me is intimate and powerful. The industry in nature, its rhythm and energy, dramatic and delicate still holds my fascination as does the language and processes of glass.” With a long involvement in education, Belfrage has lectured in the glass programs at the University of South Australia, Ohio State University and Curtin University, Western Australia. A founding member of blue pony studio in Adelaide, Belfrage played the pivotal role of Creative Director at Canberra Glassworks from 2009 to 2013. She is currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of South Australia and has taught numerous workshops throughout Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the United States. Belfrage's work is represented in major public collections including: most of the Australian State Gallery collections, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, Museum of Arts and Sciences, Sydney, National Art Glass Collection, Wagga Wagga, Corning Museum of Glass, Peabody Essex Museum, Tacoma Museum of Glass and Toledo Museum of Art, USA, Ebeltoft Glass Museum, Denmark, Ernsting Stifltung Glass Museum, Germany, Castello Sforzesco Museum, Italy, Museo do Vidro, Marinha Grande, Portugal and Niijima Glass Museum, Japan. In addition to Australia, Belfrage exhibits regularly in North America, Europe, Hong Kong and New Zealand. Her work was recognized for its innovation and originality in 2005 and 2011 with the Tom Malone Glass Prize presented by the Art Gallery of Western Australia. In 2016, the artist was awarded the inaugural FUSE Glass Prize for Australian and New Zealand glass and in 2018 was selected as the South Australian Living Artist Festival feature artist, becoming the subject of the festival's annual monograph, Rhythms of Necessity, written by Kay Lawrence and Sera Waters. She was also named JamFactory Icon of 2018, presenting a solo exhibition for a three-year national tour. With rounded corners and soothing pastel hues, Belfrage's uniquely shaped pieces stand out for their delicate patterns drifting over organic forms. Each of these ethereal designs is “drawn” with glass stringers. The sandblasted and pumiced surface creates a satin finish that really helps to draw the viewer into the layers of pattern, which is quite different from what a reflective surface does. Grids made of softly curving white lines, circular slices, and strips of different colors are just a few of the ways she covers her sculptures. The mesmerizing blueprints contrast the pure simplicity of the sculptural shape, which in turn creates visual depth. Although the artist plans carefully and there is a lot of preparation that goes into each piece, she works consciously with the fluid nature of the material and process so the pattern stretches, softens, and opens up – an important aspect of the final piece. She told Modern Met: “When absorbed by the natural world, the enduring inspiration for my work, part of my experience of wonder is the contemplation of Time – the way Time is described, measured, and held. It can feel frozen or captured, it can feel sped up, dense with energy, it can feel fleeting, and it can feel endless. The rhythms within the natural world that I observe and work to bring into my making, mark out movement through Time, evidence of the life that is lived, expressing growth, aging, shedding, mapping and binding.” Belfrage is currently completing a two-week residency at the Tweed Regional Gallery in Murwillumbah, NSW, Australia, which will result in a solo exhibition to take place in August 2023. She will be exhibiting with Adrian Sassoon Gallery at the art fair, PAD London Design + Art 2022, October 11 – 16 in Berkeley Square, London, and with Sandra Ainsley Gallery in Toronto from October 27 – 30, 2022. Belfrage will also participate in a three-week residency followed by a solo exhibition at Soneva Fushi Art Glass in the Maldives in December 2022.  

After a wonderfully successful decade training from his Murwillumbah base, Matt Dunn surprised a few people when he elected to open a metropolitan stable. The first negative was his ineligibility for the weekly TAB Highways which he'd dominated since their inception in 2015. Matt talks about the numbers in his Rosehill and Murwillumbah stables. He acknowledges the contribution of Holly Julius who runs the northern operation. Matt talks of his frequent visits to the northern rivers. The trainer talks of the easy access to many racetracks from the Murwillumbah stables. He lauds the vastly improved country prize money levels. Matt trained under Gerald Ryan's name for the first two years at Murwillumbah. He explains how the concept came about. He admits he was sad to have to forfeit the right to run in the TAB Highways. The talented trainer talks about a successful run enjoyed by the operation through the month of August. Matt reflects on his childhood fascination with horses. He learned to ride at a Frenchs Forest riding school. He looks back on a dual apprenticeship beginning at Warwick Farm and continuing at Port Macquarie. Matt rode a respectable number of winners but is brutally honest when he rates his talents in the saddle. He acknowledges a horse called Whiskey Decanter who played an important role in his early career. Matt rode the grey to a handful of wins before training him successfully. Matt struggled to make ends meet as a bush trainer, and he actually walked away from racing. He returned to his family in Sydney and worked in his father's earthmoving business. He regenerated his training career on the Gold Coast and did well with average horses. This prompted Gerald Ryan to offer him the job of managing newly established Sydney stables. He spent eight years with the iconic trainer. Matt reflects on one special horse he looked after during his time in the Ryan stables. The young horseman got a massive shock when he told Gerald of his intentions to go it alone from a Murwillumbah base. Matt talks of the young lady from Byron Bay who requested a job in the Murwillumbah stable. Keira is now his wife and business partner. Dunn acknowledges some of his favourite horses beginning with Care To Think whose promising career was hindered by breathing issues. He talks of a Country Championship Final win with Gracie Belle. He's not allowed to contest the series nowadays. Matt pays tribute to his good friend and bloodstock adviser Neil Jenkinson.

We introduce a hard working Queensland jockey who more than holds his own in the fiercely competitive Brisbane riding ranks. Michael reflects on a milestone win at a recent Gold Coast meeting- his 700th since his riding career began under amazing circumstances. Michael acknowledges the emergence of young trainer Indiana Turner who was in the winner's circle for the first time. The jockey says he had no idea about his upcoming career milestone until he heard other jockeys talking about a new on line service.   He says the Queensland riding ranks are as strong as they've been in years.   Michael takes us back to the day he bought his first car in Wollongong. He was attracted to some racing photos on the wall in the car dealer's office. He talks of his enrolment in a Racing NSW/Tafe course at Orange NSW. Michael looks back on work experience with Dubbo trainer Peter Nestor and his initial indentureship to Wade and Doreen Slinkard at Hawkesbury. He looks back on subsequent apprenticeships at Orange and Kembla Grange. He says his first day as a professional jockey was a complete disaster. Michael tells the story of his first winning ride. He noticed a jockey hadn't been declared for a horse at a Sapphire Coast meeting. He rang for the ride and a dream came true. The jockey outlines his next move- a “loan out” to Port Macquarie trainer Wayne Wilkes. He looks back on one disastrous ride. The horse won but Michael takes no credit. He remembers the day he met Linda Parker at the Grafton races- a young lady who was destined to become his wife. Michael talks of his next move to Murwillumbah where his future father-in-law Col Parker was training a team of racehorses. The jockey looks back on a Sunshine Coast win for the Parker stable which attracted the attention of trainer Pat Duff. Before he knew it Michael was working for Duff at his Deagon stables. He speaks fondly of his final boss, the late Kelso Wood who he regarded as a master trainer and a great supporter. The thirty four year old talks of his wife Linda and daughter Everly who's coming up seven years of age.  Michael reflects on the thrill of winning a South East Queensland apprentice's premiership in the 2009/2010 season. He acknowledges the support of trainer David Vandyke and his great association with top filly Baccarat Baby. Michael reflects on some talented horses he's been lucky enough to ride in recent years. He explains why he chooses to chase his own rides rather than use the services of a jockey manager. Michael pays tribute to one of his Brisbane role models. It's a nice chat with the jockey whose career was motivated by the photos on the wall at the Oak Flats car dealership. 

Gary Kliese has been a fixture on the Skychannel service from NSW northern tracks for 23 years. He was appointed and tutored by Graham McNeice who remains his greatest supporter. Gary begins by sharing his sadness about the recent flooding which has seriously impacted his hometown of Ballina. He remembers the fateful phone call to Graham McNeice which resulted in a career after race riding.  He talks of the many tracks to which he travels to present Sky's race day service, and the time he spends on form analysis between race meetings. Gary's travel schedule is punishing. He usually returns home to Ballina when his Sky commitments are completed. He pays tribute to the participants who are happy to join him on air to discuss the prospects of their horses. He pays a special tribute to regular co-host Priscilla Looker. Gary also acknowledges the contribution of Melinda Graham who filled in during Priscilla's absence on maternity leave. Back to his riding days, and Gary talks of his apprenticeship to the late Bruce McLachlan. He shares the story of McLachlan's plan to give his apprentice a first up win. Torrential rain on the Gold Coast brought the plan undone, but the story had a happy ending. Gary looks back with dismay on a twelve months disqualification which continues to be a thorn in his side. His first day back in the saddle had a fairy tale ending. The former talented jockey expresses his admiration for the skills of Henry Davis- the man he regards as the best trainer he ever knew. He looks back on a winner he rode for Davis at Eagle Farm. Gary reflects on his marriage to Jenny Powell in 1981 and a move to Ballina to escape Brisbane's powerful riding ranks. He talks of sons Luke and Brad who were always too big to be jockeys but made their marks as horsemen in other pursuits. Gary talks of his flying start on the northern rivers and the Murwillumbah race fall which should never have happened. A knee injury put him on the sidelines for twelve months. When he resumed, the new season was already two months in. He looks back on the sensational winning run which saw him get up to win his first NRRA premiership. He started the next season with a flurry of winners but then lady luck turned her back again. Gary graphically describes the most freakish of accidents which put him out for another twelve months. He talks of a chance meeting with an eminent orthopaedic surgeon. You'll love Gary's story about the show horse he rode every day to strengthen his leg before a return to race riding. The horse happened to be a thoroughbred but had never raced. Mr. Kliese changed all of that. He talks of another two NRRA premierships, and pays tribute to his two favourite northern rivers trainers. He also acknowledges the jockeys for whom he had special admiration. We take Gary back to his early days in Brisbane when he got to ride some very smart horses. He rates his favourites. The sixty one year old reflects with sadness on the loss of sister Lorraine and brother Raymond in 1992. The siblings died only six months apart. Gary sends a cheerio to sister Narelle in Maroochydore and brother Graham who's still booting home the winners in north Queensland. Gary Kliese was still riding regular winners in 1996 when another bizarre accident brought down the curtain on a career he loved. His mount Lukawae snapped a foreleg in the straight at Coffs Harbour and speared his jockey to the track. Another runner crashed over the top of Lukawae and landed on top of the hapless Kliese. He was left with no feeling from the neck down. His account of the aftermath is pretty distressing. Gary finishes on a bright note as he reflects on eleven years as a Ballina Jockey Club Committeeman, three of those years as Chairman. This is a laid back chat with one of Sky Racing's most respected presenters and a former jockey of considerable talent.

Piles upon piles of rotting debris that just keep getting bigger, no phone or internet access, whole communities cut off and exhausted people in desperate need of basic provisions that's the situation in northern New South Wales We've seen the images of devastation in towns like Lismore but what about the regions a little further off the map like Mullumbimby and Murwillumbah? Guests: Eddie Dostine, Byron Bay photographer Rebecca Whan, Murwillumbah Chamber of commerce

The dire weather emergency drenching Australia's east coast is moving even further south as heavy rains and floods threaten NSW, as residents of Lismore are evacuated over fears it could be hit with the worst flooding in more than a century.Thousands of residents in the northeastern NSW city began evacuating on Monday morning as a number of severe weather and major flood warnings were put in place across the state.The Bureau of Meteorology is predicting flood levels to peak at 13.5 metres at the Wilsons River on Monday evening, with data showing the highest recorded flood was 12.4 metres in 1880. ⚠️ Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been updated. Severe thunderstorms with INTENSE RAINFALL and LIFE THREATENING FLOODING are continuing this morning about the Northern Rivers. Further details: https://t.co/Ss766eSCrL pic.twitter.com/6ys8LrUxog— Bureau of Meteorology, New South Wales (@BOM_NSW) February 27, 2022 BOM warns the river will definitely smash the March 1974 record of 12.15 metres, which is far above the March 2017 peak of 11.59 metres.The Lismore levee overtopped around 3am and exceeded 10.6 metres.The slow-moving coastal trough deepened and formed a low-pressure system off the NSW coast on Sunday night, producing even more heavy rainfall, BOM said.“There were areas of locally intense rainfall associated with embedded thunderstorms,” BOM said.“Dangerous and rapid river level rises are being observed along the tributaries upstream of Lismore.”Authorities are saying it is difficult to know just how much water is coming down the valley into the city.The city centre has been completely closed off to drivers and pedestrians, with police shutting it off as water levels continue to rise in the CBD.A desperate search was sparked late on Sunday for a man missing in floodwaters at Lismore but it was suspended due to the dangerous waters.Officers from Richmond Police District were near Brewster Street and Uralba Street in Lismore about 4pm Sunday when they heard a man call for help.They lost sight of the man and believe he may have gone down a drain, searching for him into the evening.NSW Police were due to resume the search at first light on Monday.NSW SES Chief Superintendent Steve Patterson said more rain was predicted for areas across the Northern Rivers and mid-north coast.“The predictions are that we will see about 150-250mm of rain within 24 hours across that widespread area,” he said.A number of evacuation orders are in place across NSW on Monday morning, including parts of Lismore, South Murwillumbah, Wiangaree, Tumbulgum, Condong, Mullumbimby, Coraki and Kyogle.Major Flood Warnings are also in place for the Tweed River, Clarence River, Brunswick River and Marshalls Creek.BOM is predicting major flooding for Murwillumbah and Tumbulgum, while the Clarence River at Grafton, Ulmarra and Maclean could reach levels similar to those seen in March last year.Meanwhile, Casino has been warned to prepare for the possibility of flooding and possibly evacuation.Conditions are worsening across the border in Queensland's southeast, with Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk describing the carnage as “unpredictable as a cyclone”.- by Lauren Ferri, news.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
