G'day and good onya! Our Discover Guides are deep dives into new destinations, where we interview experts to get the ‘drum' on the places they live and love.  Today we're excited to share the first of two episodes exploring South Australia, a less-trodden state rich in adventure, wildlife and natural beauty. This two-part series is produced as a road trip through a lesser-known part of Australia filled with natural wonders, wildlife and more than one hilarious Aussie character. We'll explore indigenous heritage in Port McDonald, and hear the tale of an ancestral giant sleeping at the bottom of a lake beneath Mt. Gambier. We'll climb into hidden garden sinkholes, race up sand dunes, and ponder primordial hippo-sized wombats in South Australia's world heritage site, Naracoorte Caves. Of course we'll enjoy some of the best wine on earth in Adelaide, before meeting a baby joey and their babysitter on the wildlife haven of Kangaroo Island.  So fair dinkum, no worries mate it's time to hit the frog and toad!

Panthers humiliate the Carolina Hurricanes and continue to look unbeatable. Bill Zito built a Panthers roster with seemingly zero flaws or weaknesses.

For the first time ever, fourteen elite survivalists will brave the treacherous Australian Outback, combating the harsh environment, venomous snakes and slithering rivals, when the toughest and most shocking season yet of NAKED AND AFRAID: LAST ONE STANDING premieres.Fan-favorite legends return to take on new challengers in an all-out battle of skill, innovation, and grit. The competitor who demonstrates the best bushcraft, ingenuity and stamina to outlast their opponents in head-to-head, multiphase challenges will earn the crown, a coveted perfect 10.0 Primitive Survival Rating and a $100,000 cash prize. This season, survivalists will face heartbreaking medical tap outs, legacy-defining moments, and the most shocking elimination ever seen in the franchise.The unforgiving Australian Outback was intentionally chosen to push these battle-tested survivalists—each of whom have completed at least two previous Naked and Afraid challenges—to their absolute limits. Competitors will enter the uninhabited Outback completely naked and without any food or water, facing the blistering heat during the day and freezing temperatures that threaten hypothermia at night. The brutal environment presents both deadly threats and game-changing opportunities – from the highly lethal taipan snake, whose bite has enough venom to take down 100 humans, to 250-pound wild boars that could provide an ample food source to skilled hunters.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

It was more than a month ago when outback Australia was swamped by floods, experiencing a years' worth of rain in a week, which not only devastated lives and livelihoods, it devastated livestock as well. The floods were bigger than the size of Texas and to this day, locals are still waiting for the water to drain away completely. What were the final numbers of livestock lost? What was the impact and cost? How are local people feeling about this event and the future?We'll get to the bottom of that, as well as other major news on climate from around the world, including new information on the AMOC, some promising news from Antarctica (or is it?), the farmers in the UK have raised the alarm on crops, Tony Blair putting his foot in it, extreme heat events, a significant decline in bird numbers reported in the US and what it means, we'll delve into Overshoot following Nate Hagens definition, the war between India and Pakistan because our world can not afford war, especially at this fragile moment for our world, and so much more. As always, there's a lot to discuss, so come and join us, 9th May, 8am UK, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST. To help us dig into the conversation, we are delighted to have Heather Cameron joining us from the outback of Australia. Hailing from Gunderbooka near Bourke in New South Wales, she's a born and bred outback gal, but today, is running her own country retreat, so everyone can enjoy the peace of Australia's stunning nature. The Lower Lila retreat is 64,000 acres, grazing sheep, cattle, and goats, and has a carbon project to conserve areas of native bush lands for future generations to come. But she's doing more than that, Heather is a credentialed practitioner of coaching, while also studying to become a master practitioner of coaching, and she is also author of ‘Never Underestimate a Woman' with book three in the series coming out soon. Climate Courage is a livestream, held every two weeks and is co-hosted by Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko and Richard Busellato. On the show, we cover critical topics across the full spectrum of the polycrisis, in everyday language, and we go big picture on the climate crisis, while also drilling down and focusing on the actions we can all take to be part of the solution. Whether individual action, community action, or national/global action - every single one of us can be part of ensuring a live-able future for our children and grandchildren. We owe them that!#ClimateCourage #RethinkingChoices #UncommonCourage To get in touch with me, all of my contact details are here https://linktr.ee/andreatedwards My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar

CW: This episode contains discussions of alcoholism and cinematic violence including animal cruelty.The writer, comedian and musician Patrick Marlborough returns to the podcast from Perth, WA to discuss Wake in Fright (1971), the landmark Australian film by the late Canadian director Ted Kotcheff. One of only two films to be shown twice in the history of the Cannes Film Festival, and influential in shaping both the Australian New Wave and Ozploitation genres, Wake in Fright was acclaimed around the world but outraged local audiences with its brutal and merciless depiction of Australian toxic masculinity, violence, and alcoholism.Patrick gives us some insight on how Wake in Fright captures some of the ugliest aspects of the Australian national character, and we discuss how Kotcheff's Canadian-ness was an asset for his outsider's view of this world, the amazing supporting performance by Aussie comic screen icon Chips Rafferty in his final role, and how this great film was nearly lost forever.

Hear about travel to the Queensland Outback as the Amateur Traveler talks to Melissa from Queensland about a destination she discovered during the pandemic when she could not leave her home state. Why should you go to the Queensland Outback? Melissa says, “Firstly, I think when most people think of Queensland or plan a visit to Queensland, they're thinking Great Barrier Reef, maybe Gold Coast, theme parks, beautiful beaches, and I just find people aren't thinking about the outback. I don't know why, really, because it's amazing… I think, particularly perhaps for your North American listeners.” ” I know when I'm traveling around the world and people talk to me, ‘what's Australia like?'. ‘Are there kangaroos jumping down the street?' And the answer is no, there's not. But if you do wanna see kangaroos jumping down the street thing, go to the Outback. It's absolutely amazing. The landscape's amazing. The people are amazing. You can walk into a bar and just talk to a local all night.” “The other thing is, even if you went in what's considered the peak season, there's not going to be masses of tourists everywhere. There are going to be masses of tourists on the Great Barrier on our beautiful beaches. I just think if you wanna see what you think Australia is, the stereotypical view of Australia, then go to the Outback.” ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-the-queensland-outback/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Despite flashy debuts and high-octane reveals, the weight of trade policy loomed over every conversation.Subaru U.S. chief Jeff Walters debuted the all-new Outback, only to field immediate questions about tariffs instead of the vehicle.Nissan embraced the tension with a tongue-in-cheek window decal reading “FREE from new tariffs” on its U.S.-built models.They also revealed plans to build 80% of U.S. inventory domestically, up from 50%, citing flexibility amid tariff volatility.Tariffs dominated nearly every conference panel, with one moderator finally pausing and saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, the bar is open.” It was 10 a.m.Our friend John Bozzella of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation called for more time and flexibility, warning that rushed tariff policy could mean “increased prices and a slowing of sales.” “The key is time for adjustment,” Bozzella said. “This is a massive industry.”Toyota is reevaluating its production strategy for the next-gen RAV4, exploring a shift to U.S. manufacturing as a hedge against 25% import tariffs and currency swings.Toyota sold over 475,000 RAV4s in the U.S. last year—its most popular model, making up 20% of its U.S. volume.Originally planned for export from Japan and Canada, U.S. production in Kentucky is now under serious consideration.The shift would help meet expected demand and mitigate tariff-related costs, with potential U.S. output beginning in 2027.While plans aren't final, Toyota noted it “continually studied ways to improve its manufacturing” but declined to confirm speculation.LiveWire, the electric spin-off from Harley-Davidson, is getting into the public service game with a new line of police-spec electric motorcycles.The new fleet includes emergency lighting, sirens, and reinforced mounts, tailored for urban patrol, motorcades, and event security.Benefits include low maintenance, silent operation, and instant torque—ideal for quick maneuvering through tight city traffic.Custom ride modes, regenerative braking, and one-handed operation aim to reduce officer fatigue and improve shift efficiency.Police departments can choose from a suite of configurations, reinforcing the model's flexibility in law enforcement roles.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

People make sense of the world through stories, and stories about places inevitably shape how we treat, live on, and use those places. In Outback and Out West: The Settler Colonial Environmental Imaginary (U Nebraska Press, 2022), emeritus professor of English at the University of Nebraska Thomas Lynch takes those stories from two places - Australia and the arid American West - to compare how colonial stories have impacted land use practices. By placing Australian and American texts side by side, Lynch tracks the similar ways that settler colonialism played out across two deserts, while also highlighting important differences given the important ecological and social divergences between the two continents. Outback and Out West is also a book about material use. Rather than remaining in the realm of theory, Lynch places himself in the places he writes about, seeing first hand how settler colonial narratives have changed the land, and imploring readers to take concrete, identifiable, actions to nudge arid ecologies back toward health. Settlers found the West and the Outback strange upon first arrival - Lynch shows how recognizing that everyplace is not just normative, but is a home to somebody is the first step toward saving an ailing planet.

In this powerful episode, we're joined by Kevin Lowe, an inspirational speaker and podcast host who shares his remarkable journey of losing his sight at 17 and discovering an entirely new way to "see" the world. Through launching his own travel agency, creating a podcast during the pandemic, learning how to 'see' through sound and now inspiring others through speaking, Kevin exemplifies resilience in its purest form. His personal equation—"faith plus family equals a life worth living"—reminds us all to identify what gives our lives meaning, especially during our darkest moments. Kevin's story isn't just about overcoming blindness—it's about transforming limitation into possibility and finding purpose in pain. As he puts it, "Through the vulnerability of the brain that I became blind, but it's also through the power of the brain that I learned to see again."
