Award-winning author Melanie Cheng joins James and Ashley to discuss her writing practice, her pet rabbit, and The Burrow, her 'most personal book' and its many parallels to her own life.  She also shares her experience of writing toward her greatest fear, coming to terms with her cyclical writing process, and how teaching narrative to medical students can help increase communication between doctors and patients.  Melanie Cheng is a writer and general practitioner. She was born in Adelaide, grew up in Hong Kong and now lives in Melbourne. Her debut collection of short stories, Australia Day, won the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for an Unpublished Manuscript in 2016 and the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for Fiction in 2018. Room for a Stranger, her highly acclaimed first novel, was published in 2019.

Ich freue mich sehr heute erneut Birgit Schönharting hier im Podcast begrüßen zu dürfen. In Episode 218 durfte ich sie zu Ihrem Engagement als Projektleiterin für Ärzte ohne Grenzen interviewen. Heute geht es um eine ganz besondere Initiative, die sie ins Leben gerufen hat: mit ihrem Verein „TWENDE SHULENI“ setzt sie sich für gute Bildung und Lebensbedingungen von Jugendlichen im kleinen Dorf Kihesa Mgagao in den Southern Highlands von Tansania ein. Heute erzählt uns Birgit, wie es ihr gelungen ist, nicht nur die Schülerzahl dort zu erhöhen, sondern auch nachhaltige Kleinprojekte wie einen Schulgarten, eine Nähstube und eine Hühnerfarm zu initiieren. Mit der Unterstützung der Spender und der Vision, noch mehr Jugendlichen eine Perspektive zu bieten, gibt uns Birgit einen tiefen Einblick in die beeindruckende Arbeit von „TWENDE SHULENI“ und die Veränderungen, die durch ihr Engagement möglich werden.

After a week off so Brentley could enjoy some time with his family and kid No. 2, George, he and Burko catch up on one of the biggest two-week stretches of the year. Southern Highlands, Cabo, Darius Rucker – it's all discussed in depth while the guys also welcome Auburn's Nick Clinard, who dishes on the No. 1 Tigers and their looming NCAA title defense later this spring, plus his standout sophomore – and future PGA Tour member – Jackson Koivun. There is also a March Madness bet made between Nick and Burko (Florida). Many other results are spun through before things close with Brentley dreaming of the days of the Pizza Hut buffet.

He did it, folks! Florida State junior Luke Clanton has his PGA Tour card after making the cut at the Cognizant Classic and earning his 20th and final PGA Tour U Accelerated point. In this episode of College Golf Talk, Burko and Brentley discuss the great achievement while Brentley empties the notebook from a week of following Clanton and writing about his incredible journey. The guys then preview some huge tournaments on the docket – Cabo, Southern Highlands and the Darius Rucker, which will be on Golf Channel. Some results are discussed before Brentley catches up with UCLA head coach Alicia Um Holmes following the Bruins' much-needed home win in the post-Campos/Canales era.

In this week's episode of the Geared for Growth podcast, Mike Mortlock is joined by Matt Knight, a seasoned Buyer's Agent with over a decade of experience at Precium, to discuss the property market dynamics in the Southern Highlands and Illawarra regions.

River Island Nature Retreat, a cornerstone of Australia's naturist community, has been sold, marking the end of its clothing-optional tradition. The 222-acre property, located in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, was purchased for just under $4.75 million AUD (approximately $3.1 million USD) by Sydney property developer Kurt Braune. The new owners plan to transform the retreat into a clothed, family-friendly holiday destination, officially closing the chapter on its nearly 40-year history as Australia's “Nude Capital.”The transition begins December 1, with upgrades including modern cabins, improved access roads, Wi-Fi enhancements, and the addition of a children's playground. While the renovations aim to attract families and mainstream holidaymakers, they bring an end to one of Australia's most prominent spaces for naturists.Read the original article at www(dot)planetnude(dot)co This is a public episode.

Coming to you from Equitana in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Warwick interviews Brett Parbery in front of a live audience as a part of the Equitana programming. Brett Parbery was born to ride, growing up in Dorrigo, NSW, in a family deeply immersed in horse culture. His father professionally broke and trained horses, specializing in cattle horse sports like campdrafting and cutting, and Brett was involved in stable life from a young age, helping train horses before and after school. Weekends were spent competing in various equestrian activities, from campdrafting and polocrosse to pony club and agricultural shows, where Brett's passion for rodeo was ignited by watching saddle bronc riding at night-time events. Determined to become a cowboy, Brett pursued saddle bronc riding nationally and internationally from 1989 to 2000, consistently ranking among Australia's top 20 riders. However, his love for training horses led him to transition to dressage, and in 2000, he moved to Europe to train under top professionals before returning home to establish his own stable. Over the years, Brett has excelled in dressage, representing Australia at two World Equestrian Games and earning numerous accolades, including over 30 Australian Championships and a standout 2010 season featuring an 8th-place finish at the World Games in Kentucky. With extensive training under legendary riders like Edward Gal and Ulla Salzgeber, Brett developed a horse-friendly training system, which he now shares through “Performance Riders,” an online education program co-founded with Natalie Foxon to mentor riders of all levels, guiding them from foundational skills to high performance. He lives in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales with his wife Melinda and his son Jake.Wesbite: https://www.brettparbery.com.au/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PerformanceRidersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parberydressage/Support the showBecome a Patreon Member today!

Chris is one of those people you are fortunate to meet in your lifetime—kind, patient, non-judgmental, and radiating all that is good in the world.After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023, it was later discovered that the cancer had metastasized. In this episode, Chris speaks with absolute vulnerability and honesty, sharing how her unwavering faith has guided her throughout her life and is a source of strength now and always.Kris and Cass apologize for the quality of this recording, as it was conducted in Chris's beautiful cottage deep in the Southern Highlands, near a country train line.What is Chris loving right now that she thinks our listeners should, too? Chris suggests that everyone should watch The Assembly, available on ABC iView.

As one of Australia's great contemporary artists, Ben's compassion and humanity is evident in all his work, and so is his willingness to self-examine. So perhaps unsurprisingly in his chat with Hamish, Ben opens up about what shaped him in his own childhood, his thoughts on masculinity, the shockwave of sadness that hit him recently when his adult son moved out of home, and the unwelcome thoughts of mortality that followed.  Ben also gives us some fantastic practical hacks on how to encourage creativity in our kids, why it's so important to keep doing it beyond just the cute years, and some great drawing games to play when you're out to dinner with the kids. He also revisits memories of the magic and mischief his father would create for him and his brothers as a kid with the secret lives of gnomes that lived in their house (and inspired some of his latest work). And perhaps in a world first (for reasons that become self-evident) Ben gives Hamish a drawing lesson on a podcast. We promise it works out (sort of). Massive thanks to Ben for having us over to his studio in the Southern Highlands. His honesty and vulnerability make for a heartfelt and wisdom filled chat. —- And big thanks to HERTZ who are back as our exclusive sponsor in season 3.  And just like us, Hertz are all about making memories and having adventures.  So if you need a great car to complete your next family getaway, head to hertz.com.au/hodd for a great discount.

It's a pleasure to welcome Terry Evans to the podcast- the trainer who happens to be the sole occupant of on course stabling at the Tuncurry-Forster racecourse on the NSW north coast. Terry was there when the new track was granted a licence by Racing NSW in 2009. This podcast was recorded two days before Sir Ravanelli scored an impressive win on a rain sodden Newcastle track. Terry rates the grey gelding as the best horse he's trained to date. He begins by reflecting on the enthusiasm and commitment of the new Tuncurry-Forster Jockey Club when he arrived fifteen years ago.  Terry pays tribute to the Jockey Club's dedicated President Gary McQuillan. He remembers a conversation with a friend at a Port Macquarie meeting in 2009. At that time he was unaware a new track was under construction at nearby Tuncurry-Forster.  Terry talks about the purchase of the racecourse a few years ago by Racing NSW. The trainer talks about the facilities available to him. He explains the benefits of his 20 acre property at nearby Rainbow Flat. Terry and wife Julie had a frightening experience a few years ago when the property was threatened by the raging NSW north coast bushfires. He says the fires also got dangerously close to the racecourse stables. He was in total disbelief just twelve months later when floodwaters looked likely to inundate the stables. Terry expresses his appreciation of the talents and work ethic of Gonzalo Aguila, an Argentinian horseman who walked into the stables looking for a job. He looks back on early days in Balmain when he realised a dream by landing a sand boy's role with the famous Balmain Tiger's RL team. Terry pays tribute to two former Balmain legends who were his inspiration at the time. He reflects on his playing days in the Balmain Juniors and his transition to the Under 23 ranks. Memories of his very first game at the higher level remain vivid for all the wrong reasons. Terry reminisces about his entry into the thoroughbred world at a Southern Highlands stud farm. This is where he gained valuable experience working with mares and foals. A regular visitor to the property was a young lady who worked for the Horse Power Feed Company. Julie was destined to become his wife. He looks back on a move to Julie's horse property at Dural and his appointment as a yearling handler at nearby Shillington Park. In the early 1990's Terry and Julie established their own spelling and pre-training business near Wyong. They were delighted when the business grew rapidly but in the end it became too much for them. He says this was the catalyst for his transition to horse training. He talks of a low key start at Gosford, and the help he received from the resident CEO. Terry looks back on the magical occasion of his first training win. He reminisces about a win with Verrekeen at Gosford in 2009. It was the very last race called by the retiring Ian Craig. It was a costly exercise for winning jockey Hugh Bowman. Terry acknowledges other horses who've helped him along the way. This podcast was taped a couple of days before Sir Ravanelli's impressive win at Newcastle on May 11th. Terry recalls his acquisition of the gelding on the recommendation of a NZ bloodstock agent. He talks of the care and attention necessary to keep on top of the horse's foot problems.  The trainer looks back on Sir Ravanelli's achievements so far. He talks of the grey's ownership group, one of whom is ace race photographer Steve Hart. He talks of the current progress of his old football team and the emotional attachment that persists to this day. Terry talks of Julie's return to the nursing profession and son Troy's love of a punt. It's a laid back chat with yet another member of that exclusive club known as the “Balmain Boys”.

The Berrima Courthouse in the beautiful Southern Highlands of New South Wales in Australia is a great example of colonial architecture. The courthouse was a necessity as the colony was built on convicts and many continued their wayward deeds. The village of Berrima itself was an important stop on the path from Sydney to Victoria and there were several hotels in the area. Many historic structures still remain and spirits just may be inhabiting them, including the ghost of Australia's first serial killer. Join us as we explore the history and haunts of Berrima, Australia! The Moment in Oddity features the Crawfordsville Monster and This Month in History features the birth of Edward Everett.

Elizabeth grew up in the Southern Highlands, NSW. Elizabeth is self-taught, with a background in criminal law and psychology. Elizabeth has always painted, but has dedicated time to her practice since 2017.

This week I speak with Ben Twomey, founder of Southern Highlands Brewing. Now, this is an interesting one. It's no secret that in the current market, many small breweries are looking to evolve and find a business model that opens up a way forward in a very crowded market. Consolidation is the word on everyone's lips so it was no surprise to receive a media release about two breweries coming together. However, I would definitely had long odds on that being a merger between a small regional New South Wales brewery and a small regional brewery in the UK. But that's what has happened with Southern Highlands Brewing merged into the Powder Monkey Group Limited, owners of Powder Monkey Brewing Co and Powder Monkey Tap House near Portsmouth in the United Kingdom. It's an intriguing move and I am sure that, like me, you have plenty of questions. So this is my chat with Southern Highlands Brewing founder Ben Twomey in which I try and make sense of one of the more interesting announcements of 2023.
