Have you noticed a boom in rural fashion designers?  Last September, Holly Goodman and I sat down to record this interview.  Holly lives in Tamworth with her husband and three young children and is a fashion designer with her own label, Peter Bill, which has morphed from young boys clothing into a really impressive womens range.  In Spring last year, Holly put on The Rural Runway, a fashion runway and show of some of her favourite rural designers.  I really loved this - as I suppose I just hope that someone picks up this idea and runs with it. I'd love nothing more than to attend a full blown fashion show made up of designers from all our local towns and communities. So the interview may be dated but I'm still celebrating the premise of it; creating a platform in which to celebrate and showcase the work of fashion designers in rural Australia.

Bec Bignell is a West Australian film maker on the road to big things, her biggest project to-date, her film HOMESPUN was picked up by streaming giant STAN last year after being acquired by ABC Commercial.  Bec's main mission in her film making is to challenge stereotypes everywhere. She's pushing boundaries in her narratives, her characters and in the way she produces film. In many ways this film is based on a lifetime of observation and for that Rural Australia is lucky to have her - because her perspective as someone who grew up in WA's wheatbelt runs deep, drawing on her experiences and observations of childhood, community, stereotypes, expectations, hard times, good times - its endless.  HOMESPUN was was financed in large part by Bec personally. It was shot in just two-weeks with locals - who had no acting experience - featured as many of the main characters. I've watched it a few times now and there are so many relatable moments, that hit deep in parts and just make you laugh in others. It's refreshing to see how humorous and engaging these kind of characters can be on screen - because really, we've never seen rural Australia depicted in this way before. You have to make time to see this film.  Here's the trailer - https://youtu.be/IGBMaGS3G_s And here's the film on Stan - https://www.stan.com.au/watch/homespun-2021 Thank you to Rabobank for sponsoring this season of Company.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Elke. Elke is a mama of two from South Australia.  She's a senior secondary science teacher currently on leave to raise her two babies.  Her first birth ended up in an ”emergency” caesarean due to failure to progress, however if you've listened to this podcast you know that 99.9% of the time it is the failure of the medicalized maternity system not upholding the physiology of birth and not the woman who failed. Something that Elke discovered as she healed and learned deeper about birth after her first traumatic experience. Her first birth and entrance into motherhood blew apart everything she thought she knew, and her healing journey altered the way she looks at everything. It led her to the path of becoming a doula and Mother Blessing facilitator and her own redemptive, empowering home birth after Caesarean which made her the VBAC advocate she is today.

After finishing school, she went to Africa to teach... that was 22 years ago and she's never looked back! Gemma met her husband on safari (that's a cracking story) and had four children. You'll hear about the incredible cultural differences and how she was treated after having her babies over there. Amongst it all, Gemma had a dream to build a school that would support some of Africa's poorest children. In 2002, she established the School of St Jude in Tanzania which provides free, high-quality education to thousands of children. She is a true humanitarian and what she's done is remarkable.  And it all started with just a couple of acres. This is her story.

Doctor Bruce Chater has happily worked in rural areas all his life. And he wants others to do the same. “I've been working for really 30 years to try and get the evidence base for what works for getting doctors out into rural areas. And really, it comes down to inspiration,” he explains. Chater is going to retire, so he's handing in the keys to the Theodore Medical Centre. Following in his footsteps: Elizabeth Clarkson. “It almost brings tears to my eyes, I'm really proud of Liz, she's got the right stuff,” says Chater. Two years ago, Clarkson arrived in Theodore and started working as a GP. “They're certainly big shoes to step into. But it's exciting,” says Clarkson. Clarkson, her husband and their one-year-old daughter are very pleased to be part of the local community. “I'm really happy that I'm raising my daughter and we've got another one on the way, in a really nice small town,” says Clarkson. Technically, the center where Chater and Clarkson work has two-and-a-half full-time doctors. But Chater believes every town should have at least three doctors for a medical practice to be efficient. “You need that to allow adequate time off. You get less than two doctors out of that, by the time they have their leave,” explains Chater. Theodore has a well-staffed medical practice but that's unusual for a rural town in Australia. Many of its counterparts in the rest of the country are finding it hard to attract and keep doctors. “That can be improved significantly, though, if we can ensure that rural careers are as attractive as other careers in medicine,” says Matt Nasel of the Rural Doctors Association of Queensland. Clarkson hopes to inspire others to follow in Doctor Chater and her footsteps by turning the bush into their new office. This article was provided by The Associated Press.
