In regions such as northern New South Wales and parts of Queensland, coffee grows in rich volcanic soils and ripens over an extended cycle of around eleven months, which contributes to sweetness and flavor development in the fruit.She describes the taste profile often associated with Australian-grown coffee as naturally sweet, chocolate-forward, and berry-like, with differences emerging between regions depending on climate, soil, and local conditions. The conversation also explores how some Australian coffees share similarities with certain Kenyan and Hawaiian coffees, while still expressing a distinctly Australian terroir. We also examine the relationship between landscape and farming practicality. Because many Australian coffee farms are located on rolling land rather than steep mountain slopes, some are able to use machinery in ways that would not be possible in many traditional coffee-growing regions. Rebecca explains why that matters economically, particularly in a high-cost producing country. The episode also introduces the varietals that have historically been grown in Australia, including K7 and Catuai, and discusses how newer cultivar trials are helping growers understand which varieties may be best suited to future Australian production. We also touch on processing methods, with Rebecca explaining why wet processing has traditionally been used in much of Australia due to the local rainfall patterns and lack of long dry harvest windows. This conversation provides a deeper understanding of how climate, soil, altitude-equivalent conditions, varietals, and farm infrastructure all combine to shape the flavor and farming reality of Australian-grown coffee.In the next episode, we explore the challenges Australian coffee farmers are facing right now, including costs, climate, scale, and the pressures shaping the future of the industry.Connect with Rebecca Zentveld and Zentveld's Coffee Farms here: https://www.zentvelds.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/zentveldscoffee/ https://www.agca.au/***************************************About Map It Forward The Daily Coffee Pro is produced by Map It Forward, supporting coffee professionals globally across the supply chain.Website: https://mapitforward.coffeeMailing list: https://mapitforward.coffee/mailinglistPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/mapitforwardInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mapitforward.coffee/Contact: support@mapitforward.org

Yet modern coffee farming in Australia has been developing for more than four decades.In this episode, Rebecca explains how the modern Australian coffee industry began in the 1980s, when a small number of growers in northern New South Wales and far north Queensland began planting Arabica coffee commercially. She shares how her own family became part of that movement, planting coffee behind Byron Bay and helping establish one of the early farms in the region. The conversation also reaches further back into history, examining Australia's little-known coffee-growing past in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when coffee was grown successfully enough to win awards in Europe before the industry faded. Rebecca explains how that historical record gave early growers confidence that quality coffee could once again be grown in Australia. We also explore what made Australia's coffee sector different from the beginning. Many of the early growers were not generational farmers but people entering agriculture after careers in other industries. That shaped the way farms developed, how value-adding became part of the business model, and why some growers moved into roasting and direct sales rather than simply exporting green coffee. Rebecca also reflects on how Australia's volcanic soils, cooler subtropical climate, and longer ripening periods created the foundation for a distinctive coffee-growing environment. At the same time, high labour costs and rising land values made profitability far more challenging than in many traditional producing countries. This episode sets the foundation for the series by explaining where Australian coffee farming came from, why it remains relatively small, and why it matters in the wider global conversation about coffee origins, value creation, and farming viability.In the next episode, we look at where Australian coffee is today, focusing on terroir, climate, varietals, and the distinct flavor profile of Australian-grown coffee.Connect with Rebecca Zentveld and Zentveld's Coffee Farms here: https://www.zentvelds.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/zentveldscoffee/ https://www.agca.au/***************************************About Map It Forward The Daily Coffee Pro is produced by Map It Forward, supporting coffee professionals globally across the supply chain.Website: https://mapitforward.coffeeMailing list: https://mapitforward.coffee/mailinglistPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/mapitforwardInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mapitforward.coffee/Contact: support@mapitforward.org

Luxon - 1, media - 0. After no small effort on the media's part to drum up a crisis on a bad poll, there's two important points and we can put this whole nonsense to bed. 1) Luxon doesn't have a coup brewing. Despite all the detractors' best efforts, there is no one counting numbers. The nearest they have managed to get is Chris Bishop, who was more interested in being in India over the weekend than lining up a new job for the new week. Also, we don't vote for Prime Ministers. They are not presidents. We vote for parties and policies and results. If you like National you don't not vote National because the leader isn't to your taste. 2) The revelation from the Curia poll, that on one hand they tried to tell you how unpopular Luxon was with a net negative rating of -19. It turns out Bishop is about as bad on -14. Erica Stanford is -16. Everyone is underwater. Chuck in Winston, Seymour, and Hipkins, you'll see no one is in positive territory and that tells you a couple of things as well. We live in an era where likeability is irrelevant because we hate everyone. Post-Covid we have never got over the funk, so as much as you want to bang on about Luxon not connecting, according to the numbers, no one connects. It's all over the world. Trump is underwater, Starmer is underwater, Albanese is underwater and Macron is underwater. Chris Minns who runs New South Wales is popular currently because of his handling of Bondi. Apart from that pick a politician because we hate them all. In the likeability numbers, the likes of which we see in the TV1 poll, if Hipkins was 50% and Luxon was 20% then that's an issue. But they aren't. They both have been stuck at about 20% forever and all the others are below that. That's why none of this matters. In the past the polls have shown an answer, a suitor, a name that drives a bit of fizz. We have no such names. Now, you can debate the merits or otherwise of great leaders with great personalities, or lack of them. But we are where we are and none of the current lot will go down as Churchill's, to paraphrase Trump. And Churchill, by the way, for a lot of the time wasn't popular either. So let's see this nonsense for what it is: we are voting on the economy, not show-men. There is no coup, this is but one poll. Mountain versus molehill. A waste of time. Let's all try and do a lot better. There is too much at stake. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rachel Ward recently went viral for a video filmed in a paddock on her farm. The internet had a lot to say about how she looked. At 66, the former Thorn Birds star suddenly found herself at the centre of a global conversation about ageing, beauty, and what people expect women who were once famous for their looks to look like decades later. In this episode of No Filter, Rachel talks to Kate Langbroek about the viral moment and why she believes the reaction had very little to do with her and everything to do with society’s discomfort with women ageing in public. Rachel reflects on her extraordinary life, from British aristocracy to international fame, from Hollywood film sets to regenerative farming on the mid north coast of New South Wales. She also speaks candidly about mental health, the “crumbles” that forced her to reassess everything, and the instinct she has learned to trust when it is time to leave one chapter of her life behind and begin another.

In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with Jason Phillips – a runner whose journey into endurance running has been shaped by resilience, adventure, and some deeply personal challenges. Jason grew up in a sailing family near Newcastle in New South Wales. Boats, windsurfing, and life around the water were a huge part of his childhood. Running, on the other hand… not so much. In fact, as a kid he was a sprinter and absolutely hated cross-country running. Fast forward a few decades and Jason has found himself drawn to longer distances and big adventures. But his running journey hasn't been straightforward. In 2024 Jason was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which led to surgery and a long road back to fitness. During that time he lost a lot of the speed and conditioning he'd built over the years, and had to start again almost from scratch. Instead of giving up, Jason decided to channel his energy into something meaningful. He organised a run of the Cape to Cape Track in Western Australia, finishing on Anzac Day, raising funds and awareness for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. And now he's preparing for an even bigger challenge – the Delirious WEST 100 miler. This race carries a deeply personal reason. Jason is running it to raise funds and awareness for the Liver Foundation, after his father Brian passed away suddenly last year from liver cancer. It's a powerful reminder of how running can become more than just a sport. Sometimes it becomes a way to process grief, honour loved ones, and do something positive in the face of life's hardest moments. Jason also shares what it's really like to rebuild fitness after illness – including starting again with very simple training and learning to trust the slow process of base building. This conversation is honest, raw, and incredibly inspiring. Why You'll Love This Episode • Growing up in a sailing family and discovering running later in life • Why Jason hated cross-country running as a kid (and how that changed) • His prostate cancer diagnosis and the long road back to running • Running the Cape to Cape Track to raise awareness for prostate cancer • Training again from scratch after surgery • Why he's running the Delirious WEST 100 miler to honour his father Tips from Jason • Start small and build gradually. Even experienced runners sometimes need to go right back to basics. • Don't rush fitness after illness or injury. The body needs time to rebuild. • Slow training builds the foundation. Jason spent months running very slowly to rebuild his aerobic base. • Trust the process. Progress can feel frustratingly slow – until one day it suddenly starts to click. Jason's story is a beautiful reminder that running isn't just about races or times. Sometimes it's about healing, honouring people we love, and simply putting one foot in front of the other.

Buddhist sutras tell of a distant future, where the teachings of the Buddha we know have been entirely forgotten. This future city, ruled by a benevolent, wise king, is a utopia, where people want for nothing and live for over 80,000 years. But even this paradise is still in need of a teaching, that nothing lasts forever.This is the world of the future Buddha Maitreya, also known as Metteyya, the Buddha of loving kindness. Exploring Buddhist texts like the Descending Birth of Maitreya Sutra, the Lion's Roar of Maitreya Sutra, and the Gandavyuha Sutra, we find timeless wisdom, a warning against false prophets, and a dramatic vision of the infinite potential of loving kindness.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mythosandlogos00:00 Introduction00:10 Bodhisattva Maitreya, Indian Museum, Kolkata00:26 Gameplay from Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt Red01:08 Leaves from a Gandavyuha Manuscript, Asia Society, New York, Rockefeller Collection01:28 The Future Age01:39 Buddhas of the Three Generation by Ding Guanpeng02:11 Buddha Teaching the Ramaga Sutra 佛說羅摩伽經 by Shengjian 聖堅02:34 Leaves from a Gandavyuha Manuscript, Asia Society, New York, Rockefeller Collection03:20 Minimundus Klagenfurt, Borobudur Tempel Magelang, Detail, Schubbay, Creative Commons03:43 Mucailnda Protects the Buddha from the Rain, at Wat Olak Madu, Kedah, Photo Dharma from Sadao, Thailand, Creative Commons03:56 Universal Monarch, Phanigiri, Telangana, Anandajoti Bhikkhu, Creative Commons04:22 Clothed statues of the Buddha in the ruined Khmer Hindu temple of Wat Phou, Champasak, Laos, Basile Morin, Creative Commons04:43 Maitreya, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney05:26 Miniature Votive Stupa, Cleveland Museum of Art05:38 The Buddha Amitabha with the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, The Asian Museum, San Francisco06:08 The Lion's Roar06:46 Maitreya Buddha Triad, Gyeongju Art Museum07:22 Hungry Ghosts Scroll, Kyoto National Museum08:30 Maitreya's Tower08:52 The Mong Xuanzang, Tokyo National Museum09:06 The Eighteen Arhats Traversing the Sea, The Museum of Chinese Art and Ethnography, Parma09:50 The Transmission of the Teachings of the Gelugpa Sect, The Asian Art Museum, San Francisco10:00 Seven Leaves from a Manuscript of the Gandavyuha Sutra, Cleveland Museum of Art10:16 View of Borobudur, Indonesia, Anandajoti Bhikkhu, Creative Commons10:24 Maitreya, Museum of Oriental Art, Torino10:41 Maitreya Makes a Gift of a Throne, Borobudur, Anandajoti Bhikkhu, Photo Dharma from Sadao, Thailand, Creative Commons10:52 Maitreya Makes a Gift of a Woman, Borobudur, Anandajoti Bhikkhu, Photo Dharma from Sadao, Thailand, Creative Commons10:58 Stone Buddhas of Yonghwasa Temple, Cheongju, Cheongju Early Printing Museum11:11 Sudhana's Pilgrimage to Fifty Five Spiritual Teachers as Described in the Flower Garland Sutra, Nara National Museum11:19 Conclusion: Nothing Lasts Forever.

En 2022, en France l'espérance de vie d'une femme est de plus de 85 ans contre un peu plus de 79 ans pour les hommes, selon les chiffres de l'INSEE. Un décalage qui s'observe dans beaucoup de pays mais aussi chez certaines espèces de mammifères. Comme l'explique le docteur Perminder Sachdev, professeur de neuropsychiatrie à l'université de New South Wales en Australie au journal Time : « Cet écart d'espérance de vie entre hommes et femmes se retrouve dans toutes les sociétés, ainsi que chez les grands singes. » Les scientifiques ont-ils des éléments qui permettent d'expliquer ce phénomène ? Y a-t-il des raisons biologiques ?

Adriana Forte is a Brazilian-born writer, facilitator, and developmental thinker currently based in a rural intentional community in Bellingen, New South Wales, Australia. Originally trained as a journalist, Adriana has spent years investigating the intersection of women's cyclical biology, embodied knowing, and the structures of modern life. She runs retreats and workshops through her Substack platform C-Lab (A Lab for a Cyclically Informed Society), and is currently completing a book on the spell of modernity and the role of the matriarch as a force for cultural repair.________________In this conversation, James sits down with Adriana to explore one of the most under-examined questions in contemporary culture: what happens when society is built around a linear, continuous model of productivity — and half the population runs on a fundamentally cyclical one? Drawing on her own journey from Brazil through Hong Kong and India to off-grid life in rural Australia, Adriana maps the hormonal landscape of the female cycle and argues that the oscillation between estrogen and progesterone doesn't just produce moods — it produces a distinct mode of subjectivity, perception, and thought. We explore the cultural erasure of rites of passage, the psychological costs of the contraceptive pill, the wisdom encoded in perimenopause and menopause, and why Adriana believes the matriarch — the post-menopausal woman — may be the missing counter-energy to the relentless forward drive of modernity. The conversation moves through evolutionary biology, embodied philosophy, grassroots community-building, and genuine hope for a more rhythmically intelligent future.________________You can find Adriana's work at:Substack (C-Lab): https://theclab.substack.com/________________⏳ Timestamps:0:00 Intro - Our Bellingen Connection5:41 How Adriana ended up on this journey12:56 Critique of Modernity and Birth Interventions15:23 Rhythms and female psychology24:38 A map of the menstrual cycle39:11 The Influence of Modernity on Women's Psyche45:59 Transgender and phenomenology of hormones52:01 The oscillating nature of female psychology59:25 The spell of the System on modern psychology1:09:15 The challenge of organising around cyclical society1:15:03 Adriana's Matriarch Book1:18:43 Where to get more from Adriana1:19:39 Adriana's Guest Recommendation

As the regime in Iran fell, a handful of Shia Muslim communities in Australia went into mourning for the Ayatollah, drawing criticism from New South Wales premier Chris Minns. Khamenei was a brutal autocrat, but he was also a spiritual leader to many Shi'ites. Is it the role of the state to decide who a religious community can mourn?  GuestDr Renae Barker Senior Lecturer, UWA Law School 

Donald Trump says he's liberated the people of Iran to forge their own future, after killing their autocratic leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But as the bombing continues and any organised resistance struggles to emerge, is this ethnically diverse land, with thousands of years of history, at risk of breaking up or descending into sectarian division?

She's also part of the Iranian diaspora.Acclaimed journalist Robin Wright of The New Yorker covered Iran from the start of the 1979 revolution, which brought the first ayatollah, Ruhollah Khomeini, to power.  She's sceptical that the United States and Israel can bring change through aerial bombardment.As the regime in Iran fell, a handful of Shia Muslim communities in Australia went into mourning for the Ayatollah, drawing criticism from New South Wales premier Chris Minns.

The federal government has released the business case for a bullet train between Sydney and Newcastle, promising funding in hopes of getting the $60bn project ‘shovel ready' within two years. Commuters would be able to travel between the cities in a single hour, cutting the journey by more than half. But we have been here before, with Anthony Albanese joining a long line of prime ministers who have announced grand plans for the train line before putting them back on the shelf. Senior reporter Tory Shepherd speaks to Reged Ahmad about the many broken promises in the long journey to high-speed rail and asks: could we really get it this time?

Few filmmakers have a style as bold, romantic and unmistakable as Baz Luhrmann. From his breakout debut Strictly Ballroom to the glittering spectacle of The Great Gatsby starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and the fever-dream energy of Elvis, Luhrmann has built a career on transforming familiar stories into cinematic events. In this episode, he takes us inside one of his most iconic creative decisions: the unforgettable fish tank scene in his 1996 adaptation of Romeo + Juliet - and reveals how that moment came to life. We also explore his latest project, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, a return to Elvis Presley through newly uncovered footage from the legendary Las Vegas residency. Beyond the films, Luhrmann reflects on the journey that shaped him. Raised in Herons Creek, a tiny rural town in New South Wales, Australia, he grew up surrounded by performance and storytelling: his father ran a quirky petrol station and cinema, while his mother owned a dress shop and taught ballroom dancing. We discuss the setbacks that tested him, his unconventional audition process, his enduring creative partnership with his wife and the viral TikTok moment that sent the internet into a frenzy. I hope you enjoy this candid, wide-ranging conversation with one of modern cinema's great showmen. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 02:28 Creativity as Self‑Medication 05:52 Why Elvis? 09:22 The Romeo + Juliet Fish Tank Origin Story 11:01 Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen: The Accidental Hit 13:56 Failure #1: Losing Instincts, Depression and Finding the Way Back 26:16 Casting Without Auditions: Baz's Workshop Method 27:58 Creating a Fear-Free Room 28:47 The Big Break That Became a Public Flop 30:56 Rebounding with Strictly Ballroom 32:19 Choosing Collaborators 33:36 Marriage and Deep Trust 35:42 Criticism and Staying Humble (Plus the Viral TikTok Moment) 40:38 Future-Focused Filmmaking & Final Reflections

This week, the boys grabbed some beers and kept it positive while they fired off some mini-reviews before featuring a conversation about “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. As part of the random year generator series, 2004 was a great year for movies, with over 50 $100m movies and many likable ones. While “Eternal Sunshine” didn't gross in the top 70, it may be the year's greatest film. Props to Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman for giving Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet some juicy roles and incredibly shifty worlds! As for the mini-reviews, the boys can't speak highly enough of Gore Verbinski's “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die”, starring Sam Rockwell, and the intense and captivating “If I Had Legs I'd Kick You”, and the Academy Award-nominated “It Was Just An Accident”.

Pool Pros text questions hereIn this episode of Mondays Down Under, Lee and Shane take us behind the scenes of a massive Australian water theme park — and the conversation quickly turns from wave pools and plant rooms on steroids to something much more serious:Safety.From razor blades hidden in slide seams (yes, that actually happened) to real-world design flaws causing injuries, this episode dives deep into the responsibility that comes with running aquatic facilities — whether it's a multi-million-dollar water park or your own pool service business.Lee shares her experience training maintenance staff at a high-risk commercial water park facility in New South Wales, including:Massive commercial pump systemsGiant wave pool air blowers (not baffle plates!)35 slides requiring daily walk-through inspectionsStructured risk management protocolsThe difference between low-risk and high-risk commercial facilitiesShe explains how commercial aquatic operations in Australia are tiered under state health guidelines — and why every service professional should understand the compliance responsibilities of the facilities they work with.
