Lontana dalle rotte usuali del turismo e grazie alle sue correnti, la barriera corallina di Ningaloo fino alla scorsa estate ha potuto evitare il fenomeno dello sbiancamento di massa dei coralli. Ma da quest'anno le cose sono cambiate.

This week, our guest is West Australian coral ecologist Associate Professor Zoe Richards, who's had some extraordinary adventures—diving with crocodiles, discovering new coral species and surveying nuclear bomb sites!We'll journey to Micronesia to uncover an ancient civilisation that built mysterious structures from coral, and to Ningaloo, the world's largest fringing reef, now sadly in the grips of a mass bleaching event.From emus on the beach to seals frolicking with corals, this is both a love letter to WA's reefs and a powerful wake-up call for their protection.

This is an incredibly eerie recording of the wind turbine located on Ningaloo Coast to provide power for Coral Bay. It is in an area out of town in the desert where you can find lizards and birds. I have used this recording as a rhythm for experimental music production.

"When I heard the field recording, I was hooked by its eeriness and musicality. A vivid image came to mind—a lonely wind turbine at night in the middle of the ocean. Though from a distant place I had never been, it resonated with me. "My approach was based on how, even when we try to create environmental solutions, we still leave an impact, like altering the natural soundscape. The recording reflects that duality—both beautiful and eerie—which I wanted to capture in the narrative and atmosphere. "I worked with limitation and deconstruction, using only this field recording to extract and amplify its musicality. Through rounds of listening, I identified keynotes and sonic elements, shaping instruments and sampling parts to recreate its perceived melodies."

Tim Winton on the stories which inspired Juice, his novel of determination, survival, and the limits of the human spirit.Tim's latest novel, Juice, is an astonishing feat of imagination.It takes us to a far-off future on a superheated planet, where people must live like desert frogs in Northwest Australia. They go underground for the murderously hot summer months, before emerging in winter to grow and make what they can.The nameless narrator of the book is travelling with a child under his protection. They are taken hostage by a man with a crossbow, who takes them to the bottom of a mine shaft.There, the narrator has to tell his story to the bowman in the hope that he won't kill them.This episode of Conversations explores climate change, science, climate justice, storytelling, writing, books, narrative, fiction, Australian writers, Cloudstreet, Western Australia, coral bleaching, Pilbara, Ningaloo Reef, Putin, Trump, American politics, global politics, Russia, oligarchs, tariffs, trade wars, artists protesting, romantasy, climate change refugees.Juice is published by Penguin.This conversation was recorded in front of a live audience at Adelaide Writers' Week.

Daniel catches up with Archibald Prize winner Laura Jones, who painted author Tim Winton. Painter and sitter share a passion for WA's Ningaloo reef and its survival amid climate crisis. Unusually, Laura's own portrait is also on display  –  she entered it in the concurrent Sulman Prize, on at the Art Gallery of NSW. Interviewing visual artists is just one of the things that Jennifer Higgie has mastered in her decades-long career at the helm of Frieze magazine and as a writer, reviewer and podcast host. Daniel speaks with London-based Jennifer as her new podcast series for the National Gallery of Australia is released. Listen to Jennifer and Daniel's conversation about women artists and the spirit world.

Kev, Trev, Kylie and Ken On today's show, we chat to an author/illustrator about how to create a graphic novel series, what's involved, where to find characters, how to develop them, and so many amazing tips on creating books for kids. Plus, Liv reviews two awesome new picture books. Today's special guest began her working life as a graphic designer, before realising that involved spending way too much time on dry land. And, as someone who is actually part fish, her time would be better spent merging her love of sea creatures with amazing and super fun stories for kids. She has swum with whale sharks, manta rays and humpback whales in Ningaloo. Piranhas and pink dolphins in the Amazon. She's braved scuba diving with lionfish in Egypt. Marine iguanas and hammerhead sharks in the Galapagos Islands. And, encountered great white sharks in South Africa! She's popped in today to share her author/illustrator journey, and her latest graphic novel titled, Kev and Trev, everybody please welcome, the fintastic, seasational, Kylie Howarth.

Big-name conceptual artist - four words you don't often hear together. But Jeremy Deller is one - he's a household name in Britain, but a few years back he sparked controversy here when he made giant wax candles of Rupert Murdoch and son Lachlan, and let them burn. The Turner Prize-winning artist also orchestrates mass public spectacles that bridge the worlds of contemporary art and pop culture.Daniel catches up with Archibald Prize winner Laura Jones, who painted author Tim Winton. Painter and sitter share a passion for WA's Ningaloo reef and its survival amid climate crisis. Unusually, Laura's own portrait is also on display  –  she entered it in the concurrent Sulman Prize, on at the Art Gallery of NSW. Brent Harris' psychologically-driven artworks are often described as haunting and even ‘brooding'. So, if you haven't ever seen his paintings– would it surprise you to know they're also colourful and cartoonish? More Betty Boop than Edvard Munch's The Scream. He takes producer Rosa Ellen through his studio, in preparation for his survey show, which is soon to tour  the Art Gallery of South Australia.

Watch the video version of my interview with Laura Jones here on the Talking with Painters YouTube channel Congratulations to previous podcast guest Laura Jones on winning the Archibald Prize - Australia's most famous portrait prize  - with a sensitive and meaningful portrait of writer and environmentalist Tim Winton. On Friday I interviewed Laura shortly after the announcement and I'm bringing you that 5 minute conversation in this episode but I've also gone through the archives to my podcast conversation with Laura in 2018 to bring you something extra.  When I interviewed Laura a few years ago it was after she had finished a residency on the Great Barrier Reef where she was studying the terrible bleaching events which occurred there (and continue to occur) and her concern surrounding those events is not unconnected with her winning portrait in this year's Archibald Prize. Because it was after seeing Tim Winton's documentary on the ABC, Ningaloo Nyinggulu, about the fight to save the Ningaloo reef that Laura requested an Archibald portrait sitting. They have in common a sense of urgency that we must act now on climate change and are doing everything they can to bring attention to the devastating and inevitable consequences of inaction. One of the most interesting parts of my conversation with Laura was when she explained how coral bleaching occurs. It's complex and scientific but she explained it in a way that anyone could understand so I thought I would bring you that part of the interview today .   The Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes exhibition continues until Sunday 8 September 2024.  The Archibald finalist works then go on tour across 5 venues across NSW and for the first time, to the Northern Territory. The Wynne Prize finalist works will tour to four venues in regional NSW. 2018 podcast interview with Laura Jones (ep 53) Laura Jones' Archibald Prize acceptance speech (Instagram) YouTube version of my Archibald interview with Laura Incognito Art Show Studio A Tim WintonOil on linen, 198 x 152.5cmImage: Art Gallery of NSW, Jenni Carter Winner 2024 Archibald Prize

On episode 167, we are stoked to finally bring you the legendary Brett Wolf. Many will already know about Brett as the guy who put Exmouth on the map as one of Australia's premier fly fishing destinations. It would be fair to say that Brett is the one, who as a guide, developed Exmouth as Australia's most consistent Bonefish fishery. In more recent years, Bretts achievements with permit are hard to ignore. Having both Blochii and Anak Permit, and the incredible biosphere that is the Exmouth Gulf, makes Brett one of the leading operation in OZ to offer many shots at single and small schooled fish, which is what anyone who aims to test themselves on Permit aspires too. On this show Brett offers up some great insights from a guides perspective on fly placement and reading the fishes mood. This show turned out great and is not one to be missed by any self respecting Permaphile.  Exmouth is definitely not only about Permit and Bonefish, and we don't ignore that either as we delve into Bretts experiences with the other great species that are on offer around the Exmouth Gulf and Ningaloo reef.  If you keen to see more of what Brett offers, checkout his website www.ningalooflyfishing.com.au  This show is brought to you by Nervous Water, Kettafly, Power Pole and Beast Brushes

On Thursday 20 April, the Ningaloo region of Western Australia will experience a total solar eclipse. - Την Πέμπτη 20 Απριλίου, η περιοχή Ningaloo της Δυτικής Αυστραλίας θα βιώσει μια ολική έκλειψη ηλίου.

Shownotes In Australia Daylight Saving ends on April 2nd Moon Phases: Full moon April 6th So for those out camping over Easter, you'll have very nice dark skies to see lots of clusters and nebulae as well as Venus and Mars without any interference from the moon. Last Quarter April 13th Perigee moon April 16th New Moon April 20th First Quarter (apogee) Moon appears in evening skies on April 28th. In the Evening Skies Mercury is a very difficult target even for those with very low western horizons. Venus is very easily observed in the West in the early evening just after sunset for an hour and a half. Over April Venus is moving closes and closer to the iconic open cluster the Pleiades and between the 10th and the 12th Venus and the Pleiades close together will make great binocular viewing. On the 23rd Venus is just 3 degrees from the crescent moon. Mars is still prominent, but is shrinking and fading and moving from the Taurus constellation into Gemini. At the start of April is close to the open cluster M35 and within binocular distance from the 1st to the 4th. On the 26th Mars is close to the waxing moon. The Emu dark constellation is always great to see around 10pm when the sky is fully dark. In the Morning Skies Jupiter is lost to view in evening skies and won't turn up in morning skies till May. Saturn is climbing higher and higher in the morning skies, easily seen an hour before sunrise On the 16th and 17th Saturn is near the thin crescent moon Orion the Hunter is sinking to the West and Scorpius is rising in the East April's Signature Event ~ A Total Solar Eclipse A Total Solar Eclipse in remote Western Australia is on the April 20, but all accomodation and campsites have been fully booked out years in advance, so if you're not booked in, you're best to see totality happen by watching online. Other parts of Australia will experience a partial solar eclipse. On April 20, the shadow of the moon will graze in a 40-kilometre-wide track over one of the most beautiful parts of the world – the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo region near Exmouth. The website at Ningalooeclipse-DOT-com is highly recommended. For Western Australia start to look about 10am Perth residents will see 71% of the sun covered at 11:20am Darwin gets 80% of the sun covered at 1:50pm For Central Australia and Northern Territory their partial eclipse begins around 12 noon. For Eastern States it's round about 1pm, with only a small percentage of the sun covered. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN. You WILL go blind. Specialist astronomical solar glasses from astronomical supply shops are OK for viewing, and NEVER used 'smoked glass' or ‘filters' or you will lose your vision. Ian describe how to make a pinhole projector to safely observe an image of the eclipse which is projected onto a flat surface Further safe observing tips can be found on Ian's Astroblog at astrobloggerDOTblogspotDOTcom Ian's Tangent The Colours of Space Our eyes can only see the visible spectrum ROYGBIV Bees can see in the ultra violet. The famous Hubble images are obtained by using filters and assigning colours using the Hubble Pallette. Most meteorites do not have striking colours, some comets and meteors can have spectacular colours. Gases in space can predominantly be Hydrogen, Helium, Methanol and Ethanol, and many complex molecules have been observed and identified. The Orion Nebula's colour is due to ethanol, and Ian goes on to explain how the spectacular colours of space are out of this world.

“I started my STEM career as a national parks ranger working in beautiful places like the Great Barrier Reef, Ningaloo in WA, Kakadu in the NT and in the ACT as well. Learning about the country and ecology, and about visitor management led me on a new pathway when I saw augmented reality in 2012 and I thought, Wow! I really want to learn about technology.” – Mikaela Jade founder Indigital.

Some great advice from Alethea Murphy is to "step into things you're unsure of - you'll be surprised that you tend to swim rather than sink". But then she also enjoys swimming with sharks on the reefs of Ningaloo - so it's no surprise she's thriving in the fast-paced world of tech!

There are fresh environmental concerns for some of WA's most pristine waters after Indonesian-marked rubbish was spotted in protected coral zones. Ningaloo tourist and former Radio 6PR producer Liz Sheehan told Simon Beaumont on 6PR Mornings she was on a snorkelling tour and saw rubbish being pulled from the ocean at Ningaloo Reef. Northern Wildcatch Seafood Australia director and fisherman Grant Barker said there were fleets of boats from Indonesia off our northern coast and believes punishment for illegal Indonesian fishermen should be higher. "There would be a little bit [of rubbish] coming off the boats but most of it would be coming from the islands, I would've thought," he said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia's history is being significantly rewritten - or perhaps better said, heard. There is growing widespread understanding of the sophistication, presence and wisdom of the First Australians, and not just from the game-changing works of people like Bruce Pascoe and Bill Gammage. Now that modern Australia is looking in more of the right places, with the right mind, and with the First Australians themselves, our national - and really, human - story, is changing everywhere. This is a story of successful continuous human migration, cultivation and livelihood, right across Australia, over many a changing climate and shifting sea level. And leading archaeology professor from UWA, Peter Veth, has been working with First Nations for over 40 years to help share this story. Peter has just started a new dig with First Nations folk here on the North West Cape of Australia, part of the World Heritage Ningaloo Coast. It's expected to reveal the First Nations presence in this part of the world dates back an extraordinary 60,000 years. And when pieced together with other finds and collaborations happening across Australia and the world, it changes the way we see our country, it's people, and the human experience generally. And that, in turn, is broadening the menu of present and future possibilities enormously, at a time when this region, its people, and the world as a whole, need it most. This conversation was recorded on the new moon of 12 May 2021. Title slide image: Cape Range, on the World Heritage Ningaloo Coast (pic: UWA).

This is an excerpt from episode 81 featuring the last 20 minutes or so of my conversation with writer and Australian National Living Treasure, Tim Winton. We pick up the conversation where I wondered if Tim agreed that the grounds for positive change seemed to be getting more fertile. We go on to explore more of Tim's personal story, source of meaning, and view on the value of art. Especially in the context of joining efforts to transition away from this ‘peculiar, savage and inhumane form of capitalism', towards the true bottom line of the soil, air, fresh water and ocean that sustains all.

For most people spending time in Tonga swimming alongside a sixteen metre long, forty ton whales is a dream come true. For some it is a nightmare! For Scott Portelli that is another day in the office. Take time with us to learn about Scott on this episode of the podcast. Scott is a world renowned wildlife photographer with multiple awards and accolades. But he doesnt stop there! It has taken Scott the better part of his career to understand how to read Whale behaviour and learn how to best interact with the whales with the aim to create organic interactions and build familiarity. In this episode we discuss the dangers of interacting with humpbacks in light of the recent injuries sustained by tourists swimming with whales in Ningaloo. Join us on this episode as we cover: Scott's early career and interests Interacting with Whales and the dangers of being around such large megafauna How other photographers can get started with underwater photography Connect with Scott here: www.scottportelli.com https://www.facebook.com/scott.portelli www.instagram.com/scott.portelli --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saltyjournals/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/saltyjournals/support

The RegenNarration is back at the magnificent Ningaloo Reef for a couple of firsts - the first conversation in person for the year, and a world first collaboration aiming for the survival of the world's coral reefs, and the communities that depend on them. Dr Peter Barnes is the Marine Park Coordinator at Ningaloo Reef – one of five World Heritage listed coral reefs. Australia is blessed with the responsibility for two of these – the other being the Great Barrier Reef – which only serves to heighten the importance of the work Peter and co. are doing here. One of Peter's newest colleagues is Joel Johnsson. Joel is the Chief Resilience Officer recently appointed at Ningaloo for the global Resilient Reefs Initiative. Of course, coral reefs have been resilient systems for ages – inter-woven with traditional cultures. But the scale of damaging human impact is now jeopardising their existence. Even at 1.5 degrees global warming, the IPCC expects the coral reefs of the world would be largely wiped out. In other words, even the best-case target set by the Paris agreement would risk the annihilation of some of the world's greatest wonders. And one of its greatest generators of human wellbeing, prosperity and meaning. In that context, the Resilient Reefs Initiative is taking a holistic approach – with people at its heart. How can human communities and agencies recreate the way we live with coral reefs, to enhance the resilience of the whole? We'll need greenhouse gas emission targets met in accordance with the Paris agreement, for a start. And in all likelihood the carbon drawdown efforts we've been talking about on this podcast, with regenerative agriculture and other holistic management practices. Alongside these efforts, the timing and delivery of Resilient Reefs is seen as critical to the survival of the world's coral reefs, and the enormous variety of human and other life that thrives with them. And you'll hear some breaking news on how the traditional custodians remain central to it. To talk about it, Pete, Joel and I sat down at Jansz Beach, overlooking Ningaloo. With thanks to the Western Australian Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions for enabling this conversation. Title slide pic: Ningaloo Reef, by Joel Johnsson.

This special podcast features one of Australia's great writers, National Living Treasure, and reluctant activist, Tim Winton, direct from the World Heritage Listed Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. Tim has again donated his prize money from a recent literature award to help launch a campaign to protect this area, called Protect Ningaloo. He has also been touring the country extensively with the publication of his brilliant new novel, The Shepherd's Hut. Along the way, he's been talking a lot about manhood and masculinity, and the problem with our narrow – even toxic - view of it. This wide-ranging conversation with host Anthony James explores why that matters, along with fiction and the arts generally, and what it's all got to do with Ningaloo and the state of the world more broadly. ​ Get more: Get involved in the campaign Protect Ningaloo - https://www.protectningaloo.org.au The Shepherd's Hut - https://www.penguin.com.au/books/the-shepherds-hut-9780143786115 Breath, Simon Baker's film adaptation of another of Tim's award-winning novels (which premiered in Sydney the night before this conversation)- https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/dec/03/exclusive-first-look-at-the-trailer-for-simon-bakers-film-adaptation-of-tim-wintons-breath Music: The sounds of Ningaloo.

Paul Wags is a scuba instructor, videographer and filmmaker. (He's also a video forum moderator at Wetpixel.com!) Kelly is a divemaster, videographer, and our host for this wonderful visual introduction to their "Video Lives," both underwater and above. Wags and Kelly are based in Exmouth and the Ningaloo region of Western Australia. The Ningaloo region is a remote and varied wilderness, where the rugged West Australian desert meets a pristine tropical reef. The region is evolving as an ecotourism mecca.
