Built in 1864, it brought passengers and goods between Britain and Australia. During this period, the "Adelaide" played an important part in Australia's immigration. On the return voyages, cargos of wool and copper from Adelaide and Port Augusta were taken to London, along with passengers.

Episode 95: Boomer AnchorsThis week we are joined by Duncan Webster, the man behind this innovative product. Duncan designed the anchor after being frustrated at losing anchors when getting them stuck on reefy bottom while fishing the Queensland coast where he lives. The anchor has a breakaway system, meaning when the anchor is stuck, extra motor pressure will collapse the anchor via a shear pin, releasing it from the reef; it can then have a new shear pin inserted and can be used again straight away! We have a great chat with Duncan about how the idea came about, the different steps in improving the anchor and growing the business and also chat about his own fishing!We also have a big announcement, we have launched the first All The Gear But No Idea T Shirts, which are available for pre order and will be in stock early in the new year.

Because Westpac lied to the Senate inquiry into regional bank closures back in February, the residents of Coober Pedy in remote South Australia are stuck in a financial “nightmare”. Senior 9News.com.au journalist Emily McPherson has documented their nightmare in a very important 27 October article titled “Coober Pedy's last bank closed eight months ago. Here's what happened next”. The residents revealed: • They avoid going to the bank because the closest bank is now 540 km away in Port Augusta. • Coober Pedy's opal tourism economy is heavily cash-dependent, but taking cash to Port Augusta “is a safety issue”—with no mobile coverage for two-and-a-half hours of the trip, businesses fear they are a “target” for criminals who assume cars driving from Coober Pedy to Port Augusta are carrying cash. • The few ATMs in town always run out of money because the businesses which operate them can't get enough cash—petrol station and restaurant owner Chris Pantelis said he previously withdrew $50,000-$70,000 from the bank to restock his ATM, but now he can only restock it from his own cash takings. • Only Bank@Post provides banking services in Coober Pedy, but customers can't open bank accounts at the post office, and it limits withdrawals to $2,000 and deposits to $7,000, woefully inadequate for a town regularly visited by opal buyers carrying half a million dollars in cash. • Michael Edgecomb, from community group Coober Pedy Together, noted the local Aboriginal population and others “rely on being able to open accounts, get replacement cards and check identities—which you can't do at the post office”, so “community services are having to do a lot more work to help people prove their identity so they can access cash, and it's really tricky”. Coober Pedy is only enduring this nightmare because of Westpac's deliberate deception back in February, when the Senate established the current inquiry into bank closures in regional Australia. On the 10th of February, Inquiry Chair Senator Matt Canavan and the entire Senate committee wrote to the banks asking them to pause any more branch closures until the inquiry concluded. The same day, Westpac replied: “In response to the Committee's request, Westpac will postpone eight regional branch closures that were announced in February 2023. No further decisions on regional branch closures will be made while we engage with the Inquiry.” Politicians and the media praised Westpac for this announcement. However, in that letter Westpac deliberately omitted to mention seven other Westpac branches slated to close, which also should have been paused, including Coober Pedy seven days later and Carnamah in WA 14 days later. Westpac was the last bank in both towns. On the 17th of February, independent journalist Dale Webster excoriated Westpac's “stunning PR subterfuge” in an article in The Regional titled, “Westpac's deception by omission will not be forgotten”: In May, under the pressure of scrutiny from the inquiry, Westpac reversed the closures of the eight paused branches, saying it will keep them open permanently. If Westpac had not deceived the Committee about the seven other branches, Westpac would have had to include them in its reversal decision, and the townspeople of Coober Pedy would not be living their nightmare. Australian Citizens Party Research Director Robert Barwick said: “Coober Pedy only ever had one bank, Westpac. Its economy didn't change, Westpac did—into a digital model that doesn't serve customers. “The government should establish a full public postal bank to serve these towns and take customers away from the banks that don't want to provide a service anymore.”

The Australian overland telegraph was a 3,200 km line connecting Port Augusta in South Australia to Darwin. It was completed in 1872 and allowed communication between Australia and the rest of the world. It was one of the great engineering feats of 19th-century Australia and was a significant milestone in Australia's development. The line was built due to the determination of one man, a government employee, Charles Todd. As we celebrate 150 years since the line was completed, Sharon Carleton looks at the Charles Todd story, who it turns out was the first pioneer of STEM, way before the acronym had come into use.

Apprentice jockey Alana Livesey had a day to remember on Sunday when she rode a treble at Port Augusta including wins in Races 1,5 and 8

Chad Lever's sudden disappearance from the riding ranks last September mystified trainers, punters and friends. The popular jockey had been juggling a huge workload for several years to honour commitments on the provincial and country circuit. Ten months ago he knew he'd have to take a break before his health suffered. Chad explains that he's been able to control his weight by riding trackwork and competing in barrier trials for his wife Claire. He explains that the constant travelling and wasting had worn him down. Chad talks of his wife's riding career under the name of Claire Nutman and the training career she always envisaged. He looks back on their New York wedding. He acknowledges Claire's good start as a professional trainer. Chad takes us back to his early days in Port Augusta and the valuable tuition he received from his late grandfather Fred Brodie. He remembers being regaled by Fred's tales of the turf. He looks back on his move to Adelaide and an apprenticeship to top trainer Leon Macdonald. He was horrified to see a glut of apprentices already in Macdonald's care. Chad talks of his fellow apprentices and the bizarre run of injuries that propelled him from number four to number one on the pecking order. He talks of his very first race win at Mt. Gambier. The jockey looks back on a productive apprenticeship. He outrode his claims quickly, and got tremendous support from outside stables. Chad pays tribute to Leon Macdonald and Richard Jolly. He looks back on four Adelaide jockey's premierships- two as a junior and two as a fully fledged rider. He says Simon Price gave him a fright in his second senior quest. The hard working jockey speaks of his delight in winning two city races for his uncle Mick Huxtable. He talks of the best horse he's been on to date. He had two race rides on dual Gr 1 winner Umrum. Chad reflects on his move to NSW at the invitation of trainer Sam Kavanough. He acknowledges valuable early support from Bjorn Baker. He looks back on a five year stint with Chris Waller and his many winners for the premier stable. Chad recalls his decision to concentrate on the out of town tracks, and the clientele he was able to build up in a short time. He looks back on a great run of success. He explains that Claire was his regular chauffeur at the time and was present at the Scone meeting in 2017 when he was involved in a nasty race fall. He looks back on many frustrating months out of the saddle. Chad was still riding regularly when Claire saddled up her first winner as a trainer.

Climate Action ShowJune 27th 2022Produced by Vivien Langford PORT AUGUSTA, WHYALLA - GREEN STEEL AND SMART ENERGY Guests:Kurt Johnson -  Journalist with Renew Economy https://reneweconomy.com.au/green-dreams-managing-the-transition-from-rust-to-renewables/ John Grimes - CEO The Smart Energy Council At the Smart Energy Conference in May, soon to be PM and Environment Minister Albanese and Bowen were fascinated by a new Solar Company. On display were 5B Mavericks. Mr Albanese was enthusiastic because they were very close to his electorate, employed many people and had expanded to USA, India and Chile. We asked them what 5B stood for and it turned out to be for the Five Billion Years of sun power ahead of us. The Mavericks are solar arrays the size of a roof. they can be folded up and deployed elsewhere and their inventors are Chris Mc Grath and Eden Tehan. Since the election many are expecting a great acceleration of clean energy and John Grimes says that the targets taken to the election could be more than doubled by 2030.Then we go to Port Augusta  and Whyalla with Kurt Johnson who found there was such a boom for workers there he could hardly find a room for the night.
