zIn this series of podcast we are interviewing the four lead candidates in the upcoming Federal election about their policies: 

The Federal Election is coming up on May 3rd and here at KCR we want you to be informed about the people you are voting for, their policies and what is likely to get done if they get elected. The Federal electorate of Gilmore stretches from Kiama in the north to Moruya in the south, taking in Nowra, Ulladulla, and many coastal and rural communities in between. Over 164,000 people call this diverse electorate home — including young families, retirees, First Nations communities, small business owners, students, and health professionals.  The Kiama LGA represents about 14% of the population of Gilmore and only 4% of the area. There are 8 candidates in total running for election.  Four of them have made their intentions clear for some months now and KCR has interviewed them already to try to get a sense of who they are as people, and you can hear podcasts of these interviews.   The other 4 candidates have entered the race too late to be included in this process.  In this series of podcast we are interviewing the four lead candidates in more detail about their policies: 

Review of Day 2 of the Country Champs Southern Pool down here in Nowra.

Day 1, PBRB day here in Nowra & Bomaderry.

In part 2 of my yarn with Nooky, we dive into the making of his album with 3%, sharing how collaborations with artists like Dallas and Angus enriched the project's focus on elevating cultural history and awareness. The iconic album cover, featuring AFL player Uncle Nicky Winmar, stands as a powerful testament against racism, symbolising resilience and strength. Beyond his music, Nooky opens up about personal challenges, including his journey through grief and addiction, and the crucial role of community in his recovery. His dedication to cultural representation shines through in initiatives like We Are Warriors and an inspiring film trilogy about the black cockatoo, all of which emphasise youth mentorship and cultural storytelling. Nooky's personal anecdotes, including friendships with artists like Kid Laroi, highlight the significance of shared cultural ties and community-driven spaces for Indigenous voices. This yarn is a testament to the role of music in advocating for Indigenous rights, illustrating how Nooky's resilience fuels his mission to create a supportive, culturally rich community.

In this episode of Ben & Harry... This or that  FOOTY CHAT: Carlton's qualify for finals thanks to the Power "Never in doubt

Kevin Sweeney was one of those ever reliable jockeys who did his job with total dedication for an amazing 46 years. Had it not been for a high spirited horse dumping him at a Nowra meeting in 2015, he may well have pushed on for a bit longer. Kev spent the bulk of his career at Canberra and on southern districts tracks, where he forged strong associations with many stables. Despite a few current health issues the seventy year old pays us the honour of joining the podcast for a good, old fashioned trip down memory lane. Kev begins by revisiting the occasion of his last race ride when he was unceremoniously dumped by a quirky horse. He recalls a winning treble at Wagga just two days earlier. Kevin talks about his move to the far NSW south coast, and the health issues he's been battling for the last four years. He remains philosophical. The former respected jockey takes us back to childhood days, and the love he received from his single mum and a doting grandfather. He's never forgotten the day his family took him to Randwick races. He's happy to admit that his aversion to school brought much grief to his mother Grace. Kevin remembers his apprenticeship to Reg Cook, brother of Bill and uncle of Peter. He shares his memories of the famous Cook family. He remembers his first two wins on a horse trained by Reg Cook. Both wins were at Hawkesbury. Kevin has never forgotten his first city win. His second metropolitan success figured in a little piece of racing history. The  veteran takes us back to Reg Cook's move to Canberra in the early 70's. He talks about a switch of stables to Terry Rutzo who would become a staunch supporter. He explains the reasons for his sudden relocation to Wyong at the invitation of local trainer Ron Tilley.  Back in Canberra Kevin forged a great association with trainer Keith Dryden. He believes he rode 220 winners for the Dryden stable. Sweeney reflects on his association with talented Dryden trained mares Coolroom Candidate and Bacchanal Woman. He went to NZ with Bacchanal Woman. He acknowledges another Dryden runner De Lightning Ridge. He won four races on the mare including two in the city.  The dedicated jockey pays rightful homage to the ageless gelding Digger Stakas. He rode the veteran on many occasions, and actually gave him a home in his twilight years. Kevin fondly remembers 13 wins on the consistent Comanche Prince. He talks about his long association with the John Morrisey stable with special mention of an AJC Country Cup win on China Garden.  Kevin remembers another ride on China Garden which landed him in hot water. He was given three months by the stewards for an unsatisfactory ride. Sweeney's commitment to country racing deprived him of opportunities in feature races. He says he was 49 before he won a decent race.  He looks back on the days when he was the “go-to” jockey for bush trainers who were bringing their horses to Canberra meetings. He tells the story of a win on a plunge horse at Canberra trained by a man destined to reach dizzy heights on the turf. Kevin reflects on his good fortune when it came to injuries. He and partner Michelle were the parents of three boys. He says only one has made a career in racing. The former jockey pays tribute to later partner Libby who's doing a great job on the Keith Dryden team. Libby is close to commencing a new role in the stable. This is an overdue acknowledgment of a long and distinguished riding career.

Meditation is a solitary practice right? Not necessarily. Our latest guest on our podcast is not only creating community through this individual practice, he is also pioneering a study on the effect of deep meditation on the collective consciousness.                             We are delighted to have Barron Hanson on our podcast. Barron is a fellow Vedic Meditation teacher based in Australia, and has a long history of bringing people together, designing transformative experiences, creating films, and generally working to make the world a better place. His latest project, more like a family of projects, is centered on researching and documenting the “Maharishi Effect” which suggests that if 1% of a geographic population starts meditating, it can have a seismic effect on the collective. Barron wanted to see what would happen if 1% of his community in Nowra learned to meditate, and the study and documentary about the initiative is called “Be Here Nowra.”  As a compliment to “Be Here Nowra,” Barron also is spearheading a festival called “Here In Nowra” to invite meditators from all over the world to enjoy a month-long festival in October 2024 devoted to vedic philosophy, practices and teachings. It also will play a role in a study through the University of Wollongong to explore the effects of collective consciousness within the community.  And….Meditation Without Borders is going to be there as to host a talk, a teacher's workshop on outreach teaching, and a 5-day women's rounding retreat.  We couldn't wait to sit down with Barron to hear how all of this came about, and to learn more about the personal journey of birthing such an ambitious and inspiring project.  If you would like to learn more about the Here In Nowra Festival, here is the link: https://www.here-in.world/Notes:3.00 Arriving in NYC6.32 “I´ve always had lots of energy, the problem was channeling it.” Barron Hanson6.52 “I started to move into things that could be more relevant and helpful to share a state of consciousness and making the world a better place.” Barron Hanson7.10 Maharishi Effect11.00 Challenges11.16 “It's not the size of the group med, it's what you do with it.” 12.50 Importing meditators and studies on it15.00 Invitation to come to Nowra and studies 17.40 Be Here Nowra Festival 18.00 Lighthouses and Loneliness20.00 Individual flavors of different teachers23.00 Experiences of building a community for Isabel and Kristen30.00 Waves and consciousness34.00 Coming back home to Nowra 42.00 Geysers of Creativity and Consciousness“The story of Nowra is trying to express itself through me.

“I think we live in a world people are too, quick to throw stones throw sticks and point fingers. None of us are perfect. I certainly am not. I'm a very temperamental reactive sort of person. So, I have perfected the art of saying I'm sorry. So, I think it's really important that if you're doing something in the world, and you think, Oh, that wasn't very kind, or I could have spoken to that person in a better way, don't be afraid to go out and just say, Look, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to speak to you like that. Also forgive the people around you, they might have been under pressure they might have you don't know what's going on for other people.” Christine Denny Top Five Tips For Cultivating Joy In Your Life and Harnessing The Power It Brings1.       Knowing your narratives2.       Aligning with your values 3.       Investing in self-care4.       Surrounding yourself with supportive people5.       Investing in forgiveness TIME STAMP SUMMARY  01:59 Discovering your own narrative.07:28 What are your values12:32 The importance of self-care20:40 Forgive others and yourself Where to find Christine Website                               www.christinedenny.comLinkedIn                               https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-denny-4a26232b3?  Christine Denny BioChristine Denny is the creator, CEO, and director of TAPATAK OZ – the elite tap dance syllabus and mentorship programme for teachers and students, that launched in Australia in 2008.

Shaun Guymer made the decision a few seasons back to  follow in the footsteps of Sydney based jockeys like Grant Buckley and Jeff Penza who've enjoyed fruitful careers away from the metropolitan area. Like Penza and Buckley, Shaun sees more sense in having five or six rides on a southern districts track than pushing a 100/1 “pop”around in town. The popular jockey talks about his current workload and his acceptance of the endless travel required to meet “bush” commitments. He talks about the predicament of having offers at two meetings on the same day. Shaun says he agonises over the offer of a good ride in town from time to time. He hates to disappoint regular clients in the bush. He talks about distances to his usual venues. The jockey pays tribute to Jeff Penza and Grant Buckley. He greatly admires the longtime dedication of the veterans. Shaun says his family background is devoid of racing. He talks of his father's glazing business, and the support of his mother and sibling Josh. The jockey looks back on his initial work experience with top Goulburn horseman Danny Williams. He was later apprenticed to Williams. Shaun looks back on a transfer of his indentures to Canberra trainer Mark Schmetzer who became a valued friend and tutor. He's never forgotten his very first race ride. The horse was trained by Keith Dryden but failed to flatter at any stage. Shaun's first winning ride at Queanbeyan remains etched in his memory. The horse was trained by Rex Cole. Guymer had a long wait before his first city winner came along. The horse was trained by Jarrod Austin and started at cricket score odds.   He's very proud of a Canberra apprentices premiership.   Shaun looks back on a three month loan out to Randwick trainer Kevin Moses. He says Moses rode work with him most mornings.   He says he thoroughly enjoyed his time with Stephen Farley at Wyong.   The 31 year old looks back on a brief association with Chris Waller who utilised his claim on a couple of talented horses.   Shaun remembers with gratitude a valuable stint with Peter Moody not long after Black Caviar had departed the stable.   He's never forgotten a Caulfield win on a smart Moody trained mare.   The jockey looks back on a bout of depression after completing his apprenticeship. He lost his way as the opportunities diminished, but found a way to get back on track.   He talks admiringly of his wife Emma, daughter of Hawkesbury trainer Tim Walsh.   Shaun was gobsmacked when offered an opportunity by high profile trainer Tony McEvoy who had opened a satellite stable at Hawkesbury. He speaks highly of the multiple Group 1 winning trainer.   He talks of a move to the former Lindsay Park in South Australia when McEvoy's Sydney base was closed.   Shaun has nothing but fond memories of his association with Richard Freedman who'd made the decision to train in his own right at Rosehill. They won numerous races together.   The jockey looks back on a freakish incident at Nowra in 2018. His mount Ahmad literally got off the ground to win a BM 58. The footage went viral on social media.   He talks of a Wagga Guineas win on Lion's Roar beating a future Kosciuszko winner.    Shaun expresses appreciation for the support he receives from trainers in the southern region. He makes special mention of Natalie Jarvis.   He talks of a rare trip he made recently to Newcastle. It was worth the trouble.   Shaun says Emma closely watches his rides on the Sky service.   You can hear the “proud dad” element as he talks about three and a half year old son Fletcher.   It's a laid back chat with a very talented jockey who drives thousands of kilometres to ply his trade.

For the first few years of their training partnership Robert and Luke Price worked individually- Robert at Turpentine Park, a spelling and pre-training property at Cambewarra while Luke was based at the partnership's Kembla stables. Circumstances have changed and the pair now operate in tandem from the racecourse. Rob joins us on the podcast to talk about the reasons for the change of format. Rob talks of his love for the NSW South Coast and the passion for thoroughbreds he and Luke have in common. He sees himself training horses long into the future. The experienced horseman talks of the extensive refurbishments being carried out at Kembla Grange currently. He says trainers are feeling the pressure but are excited about the future facilities. Rob talks of the unique premiership double he and Luke achieved last season. He looks back on an early aspiration to be a jockey and his apprenticeship to Nowra trainer Fred Thomason. Rob says he got as far as the trials, but the scales told him a riding future was off the table. He talks of the interim job he secured while sorting out his future. Rob looks back on the acquisition of his trainer's licence and a low key start in the business. He talks of regular trips to the Berry Showground where he would meet his mentor and his future wife. He and Patricia produced two sons and a daughter who have subsequently provided them with a big team of grand kids. Rob pays tribute to the family. The South Coast horseman looks back on the valuable tutelage given by his late father in law Kevin Robinson. He extols the virtues of an extraordinary trainer. Rob remembers his first win as a trainer at Kembla in 1990, and the lengthy wait before that first elusive city win came along. He pays tribute to a few special horses who helped to get him up and running as a trainer. Rob looks back on the professional riding career of his son and training partner Luke Price. He talks of a nasty accident which halted Luke's riding career in 2002, and the amazing comeback he made a year later. Rob says Luke still enjoys riding trackwork especially when his mount happens to be stable favourite Cuban Royale. The co-trainer pays tribute to bonny mare Jamaea, and reflects on some of her better performances. He talks of her recent sale on the Inglis Digital online auction. Not surprisingly we devote ample time to Rob's reminiscences about the ill fated Count de Rupee- the best horse to pass through the Price stables so far. He comments on the bizarre reality that both Count de Rupee and his Golden Eagle conqueror I'm Thunderstruck are no longer with us. Rob says Count De Rupee's deeds lifted the profile of the Price stable overnight. He makes special mention of the stable “war horse” Cuban Royale who's still going strong as a nine year old. The trainer talks of a recent affiliation with the famous Australian Bloodstock operation. He's optimistic about a Brave Smash two year old he's training for the syndication giant. Rob gives us a “heads up” regarding a couple of unraced I Am Invincible fillies he and Luke are training. He concludes with mention of the instantly recognizable Price stable colours. Some of his owners have taken the white and tartan theme to another level. 

Recently a farmer reference group was formed in the Mid Coast region of NSW to provide information and guidance on an economic and risk analysis of rearing non-replacement calves. The project was led by Dan Armstrong, Senior Consultant with the RM Consulting Group. In the analysis, Dan and his team used two of the farms as case studies where the goal was to sell the non-replacement calves as dairy beef and investigate whether it would be economically practical to hold onto these calves and pursue this alternative pathway.This was the second phase of a Dairy UP project looking at Sustainable Pathways for Surplus calves, led by Dairy Australia. The first phase involved a variety of consultation activities in the Nowra region with consumers, farmers, milk and meat processors and other supply chain stakeholders looking at alternative management pathways.Useful resources related to this podcast:DairyUP website - further information on this project and others www.dairyup.com.au Dairy Australia's “Surplus Calves” and the Growing Beef from Dairy Project This podcast is an initiative of the NSW DPI Dairy Business Advisory UnitIt is brought to you in partnership the Hunter Local Land ServicesPlease share this podcast with your fellow farmers and colleagues and feel free to contact us with suggestions or comments via this email address thebusinessofdairy@gmail.comFurther NSW DPI Dairy channels to follow and subscribe to include;NSW DPI Dairy Facebook pageDPI Intensive Livestock Twitter feedNSW DPI Dairy NewsletterTranscript hereProduced by Video LiftThe information discussed in this podcast are for informative and educational purposes only and do not constitute advice.

In this episode, I'm joined by Barron Hansen, Vedic Meditation Initiator and co-founder of CONVICTS creative studio. In our conversation, Barron describes the inspiration behind his documentary “Be Here Nowra,” which follows his journey of implementing a community happiness project in his hometown of Nowra, New South Wales. Barron originally started practicing Vedic Meditation as a way to balance out the intense energy of living in New York City, but it turned out to be something much more pivotal in his life. Barron highlights how he was able to integrate the extrasensory awareness that he developed during a 3,000-hour teacher training and what that experience revealed to him about collective consciousness. Meditation is often a journey of coming back home to yourself, which intrinsically impacts how you show up in the world. Barron and I touch on the gifts that we've gotten from meditation, including stepping into our creativity and dismantling old patterning. We also discuss the core themes of “Be Here Nowra,” like community activation, the domino effect of one small change, and the beauty of unsuspecting practitioners.

Jeremy Rowling is a skateboarder, photographer, dedicated family-man, and a lifelong friend. It's an important episode for me. As a teenager, Jeremy was that person I looked-up to the most. He was a few years older, a few years cooler, confident, kind, funny, and the catalyst that held the crew together. Enamoured with skateboarding, and as the the oldest...he had a job. This meant that he was able to buy the latest skate videos when they came out, in which we would spend countless hours watching, studying, learning, mimicking, and developing our sense of identity as individuals, and also as a collective crew, in the process. In this week's episode Jeremy discusses his childhood growing up in semi-rural NSW, finding skateboarding, his family's move to the south coast, that time he knocked his tooth out learning how to ollie, finding a magical crew, that time Julian shot me with a slug-gun, skateboarding in a time without skateparks, legendary Nowra spots, influences, falling in love with his now wife, becoming a father, why radness begets radness,  and much much more. We could've talked for days reminiscing...Straight-up golden years of skating, partying, hanging with friends and no responsibility. Mainly good times, sometimes awkward, sometimes painful,  either way, it seems like most of us reflect on our teen years with great reverence. So listen, compare, and reflect on your own experience with this stage of life, and ask yourself who your Jeremy Rowling was.Enjoy,Shan Support the show and become a subscriber.

The Tokyo Paralympics was a proud moment for all Australians with our Aussie superstars totalling an incredible 80 medals at the games. On this week's episode we take you behind the scenes of the Paralympics and share the incredible story of Para-triathlete and Paralympian Jonathan Goerlach. In Part One of the series, Jono talks about his childhood growing up in Nowra, his love for sport as well as growing up with a disability known as Usher Syndrome. Jono shares his experience with hearing difficulties as a child before being diagnosed with vision loss at aged 15 called retinitis pigmentosa. Overtime it meant that Jono experienced moderate hearing loss, no peripheral vision, night-blindness, and tunnel vision. Did that stop Jono from achieving his goals? Not a chance!A journey that took years of hard work, dedication, sacrifice and resilience to overcome some unbelievable setbacks, “Jono” questioned if he could ever achieve his dream. But join me as Jono shares his story as he found his way back to sport and started his journey to become a Paralympian. If you're looking for motivation in lockdown, this is the episode for you.~ Dan
