Our SUGi Forest Maker Brett Krause grew up on a sawmill in Northern Queensland. Witnessing deforestation and the destruction of habitats, he was inspired to be part of the solution. Upon discovering the Miyawaki Method of creating rapid-growth biodiverse native forests, Brett set about on a mission to restore habitat for endangered species, like the extraordinary Cassowary and the Mahogany Glider.Since 2014, and with our support, he's been establishing biodiversity corridors in farm-degraded rural areas.In this episode of SUGi Talks, we'll speak about how he went from growing up on a sawmill witnessing deforestation, to now leading the way on Miyawaki Forest building in Northern Queensland.

Northern Queensland floods are yet to reach predicted levels. Parts of the north-east have had about a metre of rain since Friday, and a woman died when a rescue boat capsized - and parts of Townsville are evacuating. Authorities claim the rain is currently easing - but the worst is still to come. Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says many residents have battened down the hatches to prepare for more extreme weather. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Colourful, playful, sun-splashed Cairns enjoys the unique distinction of being cradled in tropical wonder. The gateway city straddles two World Heritage-protected treasures: the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics rainforest. I took a daytrip to the family-favourite destination of Fitzroy Island. Just 45 minutes from Cairns on the Fitzroy Flyer, this barefoot island getaway serves up a flavourful dabble with the Great Barrier Reef. The island is designated a National Park, in deference to its spectacular walking trails, rainforest, beaches and abundant marine life, in the calm sheltered waters. It's jaw-dropping to think the island was previously connected to the mainland before the last Ice Age." Read Mike's full article here.

Roaming the lush rainforests of Northern Queensland and Papua New Guinea, the Cassowary bird is a striking sight to behold. Resembling something like an exquisite dinosaur at 6 feet tall, this at-risk flightless bird is now in a fight for survival. As a keystone species, the Cassowary is facing endangerment due to the fragmentation of its habitat by development and industrial agriculture.  On this episode of SUGi Talks, we speak with SUGi Forest Maker Brett Krause.  Since 2014, with our support, Brett has been planting Miyawaki forests in Tropical North Queensland as a way to create habitats for endangered species like the Cassowary and the Mahogany Glider.  Together we'll speak about how he went from growing up on a sawmill witnessing deforestation, to now leading the way on Miyawaki forest building in Northern Australia.  Make sure you like and subscribe wherever you get podcasts for more SUGi Talks.

VK4JDJ Dennis Bauer SK 12 April Dennis grew up in Northern Queensland and in his early years lived in a small community on the Palmerston Range where it rained nearly all year which made for interesting bus rides on the muddy road to school. Dennis led a life of various jobs on cattle properties, drilling camps, road maintenance work and hotel work and picked up a range of varied skills. On one occasion Dennis designed a full wave 80 meter horizontal loop antenna with support posts which was huge but certainly worked. Dennis was a regular on Rob VK4ARQ CW 0530 to 0630 net with hams from Darling Downs, Rockhampton, Mackay, Bowen, Townsville and atherton Tableland locations plus Cairns and occasionally others joined in. They got up to some high sending speeds. Dennis acquired a few different paddles from Italy and other countries. He also enjoyed QRP ops and building various projects to incorporate his station Usually a quiet bloke who “plugged away” at projects and learning. Many hams have similar attributes. Hello, I'm Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I've been thinking. During the past week, I received an email from the ACMA seeking clients to complete a satisfaction survey. This is a good indication that pleasing the client base is a priority and I would suggest that we all take the opportunity of spending the 4 to 5 minutes this takes. With the introduction of the Class Licence, people have listed what they see as deficiencies in the material being made available and here is an opportunity to personally let the regulator know our thoughts. “The times are a-changin” was the lyric in an old song and surely that is true. We amateurs do crazy things such as send each others post cards when the e-qsl routes aren't quite what is needed. Now I am familiar with the extensive delays which happen with the volunteer run QSL bureaux but just to delay things a little more our not so beloved main carrier has introduced alternate day postal deliveries. This past week, the new regime started on Tuesday which means we had 2 lonely delivery days this week. It is perhaps not so important that mail is delayed but the basic cost of a stamp to send a letter has risen to $1-50 which means that more and more business communications are going to be directed to electronic delivery. This can raise many issues for those of us with physical impairments and regardless of rules about discrimination, some of these actions just cement the divides in the community. Recently I had to find a supplier of a certain type of antenna mount and despite my best efforts I couldn't track down what I needed from local vendors. It ended up being a choice between two of the big international on-line vendors. The deciding factor was that one would deliver free of postage and the other required me to sacrifice a vital internal organ to pay for delivery. Well the decision was easy and with the help of someone who had an account with the seller, the mount was bought and paid for. Overseas vendors using major on-line sites are beset by advertised delivery prices that too often dissuade the prudent buyer from a sight unseen purchase. Sadly for the local suppliers to our niche interest, the amateur radio fraternity is small and the cost of maintaining inventory often can't be justified for the low return it provides. We do have some excellent small businesses dedicated to the amateur market and often their stocked prices are more competitive than the overseas megastores when freight and warranty costs are taken into account. It is perhaps the subject for an article in Amateur Radio magazine just to let us all know who is serving the market for us. I have been told that some vendors feel the cost of advertising is beyond their resources and a printout with product lines and contact details would be a service to the amateur community. I'm Geoff Emery VK4ZPP and that's what I think….how about you?

The damage bill from the Northern Queensland floods is expected to run into the billions, so how did a low level cyclone cause so much devastation?There's growing concern about the use of “deep fake” images produced by A.I. are being used on social media. So can anything be done to stamp it out?

Episode 97: Ben CalvertThis week we are joined by a South Aussie Fisho who has taken his fishing talents onto the national stage, competing and having a huge amount of success in Barra Comps in Northern Queensland.

Rohdey is claiming he caught the most using the value for money Shimano Sienna reel which we feature as our tackle item of the week in this episode!

Unprecedented rain caused by Tropical Cyclone Jasper has caused widespread flooding in northern Queensland. Cairns Airport is closed, roads are badly damaged and residents on the city's northern beaches are cut off by floodwaters. SBS Russian spoke to Olga Mazin, resident of one of the hardest hit areas. - Беспрецедентный дождь, вызванный тропическим циклоном Джаспер, спровоцировал масштабное наводнение на севере штата Квинсленд. Аэропорт Кэрнса закрыт, дороги сильно повреждены, а жители северных пляжей города отрезаны паводковыми водами. SBS Russian смогли созвониться с Ольгой, жительницей одного из районов, наиболее пострадавших от наводнения.

Few of us live out our childhood dreams, let alone meet the hero that set us on our life path. Chadden Hunter, Australian biologist and wildlife filmmaker, has spent the better part of two decades in pursuit of the perfect shot. From living in a Bornean bat cave for a month, to scuba diving under Antarctic ice shelves and dodging death on the Arctic tundra - his mission is to tell nature's weird and wonderful stories. As a kid growing up in Northern Queensland, he was fascinated by Sir David Attenborough documentaries and the tropical world around him. Every dollar he earned went to dives on the Great Barrier Reef, and after graduating with a degree in Zoology, he pursued a PhD in Ethiopia. There, high in the Simian mountains, he had a chance encounter with an Attenborough film crew, and the man himself.

Denmark has been raised higher in the minds of Tasmanians ever since the Crown Prince of Denmark married a Tassie girl, sometimes affectionately referred to as "Our Princess Mary". Lisbeth's story has some parallels - she's a Dane who meet someone special in Tasmania. In her case, it was towards the end of a two-year Working Holiday in which she'd worked as a jillaroo in Northern Queensland and as an accountant for Australia's biggest mining company. Her romance with Adam in Tasmania was something of a whirlwind one by today's standards - they married within 6 months, and they are still going strong over a decade later. Lisbeth has two young boys, who have shown interest in their Danish heritage and are both learning Danish through Zoom from a teacher in Denmark. Lisbeth is also passionate about mental health, and is in the later stages of studying a Psychology major and has been trying to raise awareness of mental health in her local area. In this conversation we touch on family issues, including a childhood stay in her mother's birthplace of Greenland, and dealing with her father's cancer diagnosis. And like many other countries, Denmark has some of its own traditions and customs, especially around Christmas.

John MacKenzie chats with David Bobberman, CEO of Queensland Seafood Industry Association, about the fear facing Queensland's seafood industry after the announcement that the state government will ban certain net fishing. Commercial fishers are terrified of the proposal which would see an 800km area of the Northern Queensland coast be shut down to gillnet fishing by the end of June 2027. David Bobberman was furious that the announcements were made without any consultation with industry stakeholders.

This week on the show Claire speaks to Dr Kylie Cairns all about dingoes, and her groundbreaking research using new genetic tools that has changed the way we understand the lineage of dingoes and in particular whether dingoes hybridised with feral dogs, or in fact are they a lot more pure dingo than we thought.Also on the show Chris talks to Dr Ellie Sansom from the Desert Fireball Network about the recent fireball that was seen and videoed blazing across the Northern Queensland skies. Where did it come from, what do we know about it, and will we ever find any remaining rocks on Earth?

Flood records have been swept aside in Burke, in Northern Queensland, Australia, where vast swathes of the Gulf of Carpentaria are underwater.  Most residents of Burketown were flown to safety, while emergency officials including the mayor left their own flooding properties to help others.  Livestock, and wild animals have drowned .... and whole houses have been underwater for days.  All three rivers which meet near Burke were at record levels last week - and the flooding is eight metres deeper than the old records. The area has essentially been cut off since the rainy season began four months ago.  The Burke Shire council chief executive Dan McKinlay spoke to Corin Dann.

This episode, I spoke to the front man of the Metallica tribute band, Damage Inc. Clint is another Western Sydney dad and in recent weeks has seen the damage the Queensland and New South Wales floods have been affecting people. We sat down and spoke about music, the influence it can have on our kids and how its our responsibility to teach children that music is open for interpretation and is only negative when you look at it through a negative lens. Clint also spoke about how great it feels to be a positive influence on the kids who have seen his shows and the gratitude he has when he hears he has inspired someone to take up music. Clint along with the rest of the band recently celebrated Damage Inc's 18th birthday! The have a few shows coming up at the end of March in Northern Queensland, so go check out the bands website or social media pages for more info or check out the links below.

Maryrose Cuskelly is an award winning writer or fiction and nonfiction. Her debut novel is The Cane.The Cane transports the reader to the Northern Queensland canefields and back in time to the 1970's.The town of Quala is reeling from the disappearance of sixteen year old Janet McClymont. In the weeks since Janet failed to arrive at her babysitting job the canefields have been repeatedly swept by search parties and every man is the district has been grilled over his whereabouts at the time of her disappearance.Told through a multitude of perspectives, The Cane delves into the psychology of a town on the brink. The questions of whether Janet is alive is almost secondary to the rarely spoken, ‘could have been one of us?'This is a society that views outsiders with suspicion.The new school teacher is too tall, too long haired and too free in his advocacy of social change. His alibi must be rechecked and still not believed.The new publican's daughter is old for primary school and too open in her ways with the boys. Raelene flaunts the unspoken rules that have turned the town in on itself. She freely walks alone and refuses to defer to parental authority.The new copper brought in from Brisbane is just too much because she's a woman and Quala's men have their own ideas about the roles women should occupy.With the harvest being held off in the hopes that Janet might be found before the cane burn the stage is set for tensions to run high. If the cops can't do anything about the malignant force that seems to have invaded Quala the locals might just have to sort it out themselves.The Cane has all the elements of a seat of your pants beach read, purpose built to give you aching arms and sunburn as you lay too long turning page after page. As it builds inexorably towards the moment the canefields are set alight the book shows us how social unrest brews in a town turned against itself.The various narratorial perspectives glimpse at the ways this highly conservative social milieu is fighting against itself and the forces of change. Women in particular are given the spotlight as agents of change and targets of those who would maintain the status quo.The narrative is based on a true story and it is not simply in this historical alignment that we can find resonance with The Cane's exploration of social expectation and control.It was interesting to read back fifty years in the wake of the current news cycle. While the sexism and misogyny of many of The Cane's men is more bald than we might be used to today, there is undoubtedly a through line from older attitudes towards women working, reading and expressing themselves openly, and attitudes in certain sections of the media about ‘proper' behaviour from prominent women.By giving us perspectives from characters as diverse as children, established and recent arrivals we are privy to a world that is seeking a united front but is torn by feelings that something is not right.As I entered the world of The Cane I fell into the trap of trying to solve the mystery alongside the characters. This is not a traditional ‘fair play' style whodunnit although it offers a compelling psychological search. As a reader you are given enough of a glimpse into the ensemble cast of characters to wonder at who might be the perpetrator, and perhaps just as importantly, how that person may go unseen within a close knit community.Check out The Cane. It's an exciting read with its soul in the heart of contemporary questions about how we treat and respond to violence against women.Book Club is produced and presented by Andrew PopleWant more great conversations with Australian authors?Discover this and many more conversations on Final Draft every week from 2ser.

The Overlanders Way was an essential route in World War II and a practical cattle transfer route from the Northern Territory to the coastal markets in Queensland. Today it's a 1550km long strategic touring route. Both highways are fully sealed. During the wet season, rivers might overflow on the road, and some narrow parts of the road require more cautious driving. We headed from the Great Barrier Reef in Townsville west and ended up at the border of the Northern Territory, and what fantastic history of dinosaurs and so much more we discovered!Like we did, you can drive the Overlanders Way any season but be aware of flooding and storms if you do it in the summer. The wildlife is more active during wet season, and waterholes get full. However, some towns might get cut off because of flooding, and you'll have to modify your plans. The colder months, June and July, are more suitable if you want dry weather, but anytime between April and October is perfect.  Did you know that you can speak to us to feature this show on your community radio station, or website, we would love to talk with you.  If you would like to reach out and help us with this fiercely Australian and independent podcast with sponsorship or product support, please contact us.We love your feedback and comments, and if you have something that you think we should feature, review, visit or discuss, then please drop us an email at  phatcat@iinet.net.au Like us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramSupport us on PatreonListen on SpotifyListen on AppleListen on GoogleListen on iHeartRadioThank you for supporting us, visit www.phatcatmedia.com.au for more information  Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=27844421) Hosted on Acast.

Episode 83 Richard Lowenstein: An Original Story       It's often opined that Chris Murphy was the 7th member of INXS and, from a business point of view such sentiment, seemed more than legitimate. However, it's without a doubt that artistically Richard Lowenstein was that 7th member. Joining the INXS family in Northern Queensland as that pasty, vitamin D-deprived emerging auteur in early 1984, he would go on to be an intrinsic and artistic tour-de-force shaping INXS' ascent from hard-working, freshmen musicians to globe-trotting superstars. All of that aside, Access all Areas would love to provide an origin story backdrop of who just Richard Lowenstein is and the lead-up of how he came to work with INXS.     The son of parents who fled Nazi Germany via the UK and ultimately to Australia in 1940, Richard was the proud graduate from Swinburne Institute of Technology, Film and Television Department in 1979. Within a year, he had directed his first music video embracing the Melbourne punk rock scene and was awarded the illustrious Erwin Radio Prize for Best Short Film at the Melbourne International Film Festival.   With an impressive résumé building, Richard's life was to change with his groundbreaking music video of the Hunters & Collectors' classic “Talking to a Stranger”, a video that aroused the attention of one “Michael Hutchence”. Being a man in demand, Richard produced and directed clips for Cold Chisel, Tim Finn (ex-Splitz Enz), Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons, plus The Church, all whilst releasing in 1984 his first full feature film Strikebound, the story of 1930's coal miners' strike (based on his mother's book and union research) that coincidentally featured the INXS track “All the Voices”.     A true auteur to his craft, Richard has always remained humble, stylistically unique, and a true innovator in celluloid. Never one to embrace the mainstream and dumb it down (hello Michael Bay), Richard's early work shows a true passion, instinct, and distinctive approach in the art of filmmaking, whether it be short-form or long-form, and we hope you enjoy the first installment of this career retrospective of the great Richard Lowenstein (not steen ).     Love and Peace   Haydn To become a Patron/ subscriber check out our different levels and see which one suits you. https://patron.podbean.com/INXSAccessAllAreas   Check out our website for all the good stuff... https://www.inxsaccessallareas.com ...and for some cool stuff visit https://www.inxs.com  Please sign the petition at  http://inductinxs.com to help get INXS nominated into the ROCK & ROLL HALL of FAME, where they belong.  A new episode drops every Sunday INXS Access All Areas is available on Podbean, iTunes, Spotify, TuneIn, and Amazon Music.

Any issues you may encounter will be solved by several experts. Having the right people is crucial and so is having the right reporting systems in place so that you can measure your success and see whether you are achieving your goals.

You may have to go through the lengthy process of testing things out yourself before you can train people up to make sure they are implementing processes the way you know best. If you have a high hourly rate, you need to look at the tasks you are doing and see whether or not they are bringing in the same as you would charge per hour. Just because you enjoy doing something, does not always mean it is a good use of your time. To ensure you are successful in your field you need to become good at finding great people. Networking, working alongside great people and trying to find experts to help in highly skilled areas will help you on your way to success. BEST MOMENTS “This book was not easy. It was probably one of the hardest things I have ever done.” “Always try to work with experts.” “You have got to go around that loop a few times before you can be confident that things are working in the way that you need it to.” ABOUT THE GUEST Property Investor, #1 best-selling author and property coach, Quit corporate job 5 years ago and invested in property. Within 2 years, had replaced income, travelled the world, lived in NZ for 6 months. Currently in Namibia wildlife conservation since October. Bronwen Vearncombe has built a successful business over the last few years and has been able to give up her full-time corporate banking job and find freedom. Having been told she’d not be able to retire until age 67 – she knew there must be a way to escape and to spend more time with her husband and two children, and maybe even be her boss! In just two years she and her husband replaced their corporate income with property rental and left their jobs. Inspiring many people each year through her success, not only does she have a great property business, but she teaches others through her online learning platform established in 2017. Just two years later they set out to follow their dreams and specific adventures: John circumnavigated the globe with the 17/18 Clipper Round the World yacht race, and Bronwen followed working in the business and volunteering along the way. Travelling the world proved that they could balance a property business and adventure. In 2019 they spent 6 months working from The Whitsunday Islands in Northern Queensland, where Bronwen wrote her book Building Your Dream Life which was published in 2020. Featured in national property media, Bronwen loves to share her knowledge and to help others get onto the investor ladder of success. Her programme of pre-recorded webinars and coaching enables easy, but supported, learning of the very foundation steps and uses examples from her own Hampshire portfolio too. Bronwen is currently in Namibia volunteering at her favourite wildlife conservation group, Naankuse – a great place to escape the UK lockdown and continue to work from her laptop!
