Podcasts about Tasmania

You're listening to The Dark Zone: An Adventure Racing Podcast, where we try to understand how adventure races really play out—over long distances, under fatigue, and within the relationships that make or break a team.Today's episode is a conversation with Emily Panietz and Becca Lunnon, racing as The Wonky Donkeys, about their strong showing at The Legend Adventure Race in Tasmania.That result didn't come out of nowhere. In earlier races, Emily and Becca struggled at times with communication and teamwork—misaligned expectations, moments of frustration, and the normal growing pains that come with learning how to race together. Those experiences didn't end in easy results, but they did give them a clearer sense of what needed to change.At The Legend, that work showed. Over the course of a long, technical race, they communicated more clearly, managed decisions together, and stayed connected when things got difficult. Rather than trying to force the race, they settled into a rhythm that allowed them to move steadily and efficiently through the course.In this episode, we talk about that progression—what didn't work early on, how they adjusted, and why The Legend felt like a genuinely strong race for them as teammates. It's a conversation about learning, adapting, and how growth over time can turn into a result that feels earned.Shownotes:The Legend - https://www.legendexpd.com.au/Sponsor Links:Nuataaq Carabiner Hydration Bottle - www.nuataaq.comShenandoah Epic Adventure Race - https://www.adventureenablers.com/

Lake St Clair is surrounded by Tasmania's Wilderness World Heritage area and was carved out by glaciers over millions of years. It's around twice as deep as Bass Strait, but Australia's deepest lake has never been fully mapped. Until now: CSIRO scientists have produced the first 3D map of the underwater landscape, confirming the vast depth of the natural wonder.

Bonus Episode: Leadership as a Public Good — Developing Collective Capacity for a Complex World What kind of leadership is needed when no single person can hold the whole picture? In this Bonus Episode of The Future of Leadership Development, Dr Toby Newstead is joined by Professor David Day and Liz Gillies to explore a defining challenge of our time: the growing gap between the complexity of the world and the way we develop leadership. As global challenges intensify — from climate disruption and political polarisation to declining trust and the rise of generative AI — leaders are increasingly expected to navigate overlapping crises that no individual can solve alone. This Bonus Episode examines why traditional, individual-focused models of leadership development are no longer fit for purpose and explores the shift toward collective leadership capacity grounded in purpose, ethics, and shared responsibility. Listeners are invited to rethink leadership not as a scarce commodity or positional role, but as a public good — essential to navigating complexity and shaping a more resilient, humane future. Key Themes & Talking Points Why “hero leadership” models are breaking down Leader development vs leadership development Collective leadership as a response to complexity Purpose and ethics as anchors in uncertainty Leadership as a public good With Toby P. Newstead from University of Tasmania, Professor David Day from Claremont McKenna College and Liz Gillies, CEO Menzies Leadership Foundation

In this episode of Gardeners' Corner, David Maxwell visits what some call 'Ireland's secret garden' - Kilmacurragh in County Wicklow. The site became part of the National Botanic Gardens in 1996 and since then a restoration programme has been underway. Leading the tour of the gardens, which boast a vast plant collection, is head gardener Seamus O'Brien. From a 'Peter Pan' tree which thinks it's a child but is over 100 years old to a plant which traps animals so their decaying bodies give it food. Seamus is also continuing the work of the Victorian plant hunters. He has gathered plants from Chile, China and Tasmania on his own plant hunting expeditions. Also joining the tour of the gardens is Neil Porteous from Mount Stewart. The two gardens cooperate in the work of creating a 'Noah's Ark' of endangered southern hemisphere plants in the temperate Irish climate.

The death toll from a shooting at Sydney's Bondi Beach on Sunday has risen to 16, with a father and son identified as the attackers, police said Monday.警方周一表示，周日在悉尼邦迪海滩发生的枪击事件死亡人数已升至16人，袭击者已被确认为一对父子。Police in the state of New South Wales (NSW) said on Monday morning that 16 people have been confirmed dead after the shooting.新南威尔士州警方周一上午表示，枪击案发生后，已有16人被确认死亡。A police statement said that 14 people died at the scene and two others died in hospital.一份警方声明称，14人当场死亡，另有2人在医院不治身亡。The deceased range in age from 10 to 87 years old and includes one of the attackers.死者年龄跨度从10岁到87岁不等，其中包括一名袭击者。Another 40 people were being treated in hospital for their injuries as of Monday morning, five of whom were in critical condition.截至周一上午，另有40人因伤在医院接受治疗，其中5人伤势危急。NSW Police Force Commissioner Mal Lanyon told a press conference on Monday morning that the two alleged shooters were a 50-year-old man and his 24-year-old son.新南威尔士州警务处长马尔·兰尼恩（Mal Lanyon）在周一上午的新闻发布会上表示，两名涉嫌枪手分别是一名50岁的男子和他24岁的儿子。The 50-year-old, who was killed at the scene, was a licensed firearm holder with six guns legally in his possession, Lanyon said.兰尼恩说，这名当场被击毙的50岁男子是持证枪支拥有者，其名下合法拥有六支枪。The shooting occurred at around 6:47 pm local time on Sunday when the two men opened fire on a crowd of at least 1,000 people who gathered at the beach for an event celebrating the first day of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.枪击事件发生在当地时间周日晚上6点47分左右，当时这两名男子向聚集在海滩上庆祝犹太节日“光明节”（Hanukkah）第一天的至少1000名人群开火。Lanyon, who on Sunday night officially declared the shooting as a terrorist attack, said Monday that investigations into motives behind the attack are ongoing.兰尼恩已于周日晚间正式宣布这起枪击事件为恐怖袭击，他在周一表示，关于袭击背后动机的调查正在进行中。Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that the attack was an act of "pure evil" and that Australia would do whatever is necessary to stamp out antisemitism.澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯（Anthony Albanese）表示，这次袭击是“纯粹的邪恶”行径，澳大利亚将采取一切必要措施来消灭反犹太主义。"It is a scourge and we'll eradicate it together," he said.“这是一个祸害，我们将共同根除它，”他说。It marks Australia's most deadly mass shooting since 35 people were killed at Port Arthur in the island state of Tasmania in 1996, which prompted fundamental changes to Australia's gun ownership laws.这是自1996年塔斯马尼亚岛亚瑟港发生35人被杀事件以来，澳大利亚发生的最致命的大规模枪击事件，当年的惨剧曾促使澳大利亚对枪支所有权法律进行了根本性的改革。 Death toll死亡人数Critical condition伤势危急，病危Alleged[ə'ledʒd]涉嫌的，声称的Licensed firearm holder持证枪支拥有者

Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast!Civil construction has communication and cost-control problems. Everyone knows it. Very few people actually try to fix it.That's what led James Baker to build Varicon, a construction management software platform designed specifically for civil contractors.James didn't come into tech chasing hype or investor buzz. He came into it frustrated. After years of working as a contractor for principals and administering contracts, he kept seeing the same issues everywhere.Too much admin. Too much paper. Too many spreadsheets. And way too much friction killing relationships and cash flow.So, Varicon was born.In this episode, we talked about James growing up in Tasmania, chasing elite rowing overseas, working in Brazil during the oil and gas boom, and how seeing construction from every angle gave him a clearer view of what was broken.And somehow, we also ended up talking about home-brewing beer... and how it nearly landed him a trip to Antarctica.Connect with James Baker: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameshsbaker/ Website: https://varicon.com.au/Connect with Jordan Skinner: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanaskinner/ Website: https://moonshotmedia.com.au/Do you have an influential personal brand?Take the quiz to find out:http://www.constructingaleader.com/quiz

Salmo 106:8.Parecía una tarde perfecta para un paseo en barco entre padre e hijo. las aguas del Tasmania eran de un azul cristalino y hermoso que reflejaba la luz del sol, y eso formaba un ambiente atractivo para la pesca.El muchacho estaba emocionado. Además de disfrutar de la tarde, estaría más cerca de su padre. Pero estando en alta mar, sucedió algo terrible. Observaron a lo lejos una criatura que se acercaba al barco: era un gran tiburón blanco.El gran tiburón blanco es un animal veloz y temido por la mayoría de la gente. Su mordedura puede ser fatal. De pronto, el tiburón golpeó la embarcación de un cabezazo y el niño cayó al agua. El animal rápidamente lo atrapó con sus dientes. Pero no fue más rápido que el padre del niño. El amor de padre lo hizo pensar rápido: se arrojó al mar y distrajo al tiburón, que liberó al niño. Como de milagro, el animal se fue y el padre llevó a su hijo hasta la playa, donde el niño recibió asistencia médica y se salvó.Más rápido que el gran tiburón blanco es el amor de un padre que actúa con prontitud para ayudar a su hijo. El amor del Padre celestial por la humanidad es aún más rápido, cruza el cielo a la velocidad de la luz, es capaz de quebrantar hasta el corazón más duro.Mi oración: Padre que estás en el cielo, gracias por tu amor fuerte y veloz.Cuéntale a tus familiares y amigos, situaciones en las que sentiste la ayuda de Dios cuando más lo necesitabas. 

This time we watched the 1973 British horror film Psychomania, a cult biker horror oddity originally filmed as The Living Dead before the title changed. In the United States it appeared as The Death Wheelers. Not to be confused with the 1963 American film Psychomania, also known as Violent Midnight. The film was produced by Benmar Productions, better known for Spaghetti Westerns shot in Spain. They also made Horror Express later the same year with the same writers, which we covered back in episode 7. Psychomania was created in association with Scotia Bar Distributors who had director Don Sharp under long term contract.Don Sharp was born in Tasmania and began as an actor before becoming a director in the mid 1950s. He turned out low and medium budget films including the Tommy Steele musical It's All Happening, then Hammer Films hired him and he made several well received thrillers. He also worked as second unit director on Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. Quiz time for Jon. Sharp directed BigChrisLee six times. Name them. Beryl Reid plays psychic medium Mrs Latham. She left school at 16 and debuted in 1936 as a music hall performer at the Floral Hall in Bridlington. She became famous on BBC radio in Educating Archie as Monica and as the Brummie Marlene. She later worked for the National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company. She made the very first challenge on Just A Minute in the 1967 pilot. In the late 1970s and early 1980s she played Connie Sachs in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Smiley's People, earning two British Academy Television Award nominations and winning for Smiley's People. Doctor Who fans will know her as Captain Briggs in Earthshock. The same year as Psychomania she appeared in Dr Phibes Rises Again. Ross will always remember her as Grandma in the Adrian Mole TV adaptation. Nicky Henson plays lead biker Tom Latham. A familiar face across British television, he excelled at playing cultivated gents, snobs and playboys. His many guest roles included several appearances in The Bill, A Touch of Frost, Pie in the Sky, Fawlty Towers and Witchfinder General as Trooper Swallow. His first wife was Una Stubbs, with whom he later appeared in EastEnders. Despite living with cancer for twenty years he continued acting on screen until 2018. Robert Hardy plays Chief Inspector Hesseltine. We discussed him fully in episode 41a when we covered The Stalls of Barchester from the BBC Ghost Stories for Christmas series. Academy Award winner George Sanders plays Shadwell. Born in Russia to an English horticulturist mother and a rope maker father, he became a British subject when the family fled during the revolution. His smooth voice and upper class accent made him perfect for polished villains. His roles included Jack Favell in Rebecca, Scott Folliott in Foreign Correspondent, the Saran of Gaza in Samson and Delilah and Addison DeWitt in All About Eve which won him the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. He voiced Shere Khan in Disney's The Jungle Book and played Simon Templar in several films in The Saint series. British horror fans may know him from the Doomwatch movie as The Admiral. There are brief appearances by June Brown as Mrs Pettibone, John Levene from Doctor Who and Bill Pertwee as a publican. Levene worked with Jon Pertwee who was Bill's second cousin. The soundtrack by John Cameron was released in 2003 by Trunk Records. Cameron said they needed something spooky and different with a rock feeling, all pre synthesizer. They recorded at Shepperton's studios which had not been updated since before the war. He described hooligan musicians scratching inside pianos while the engineer sat there in suit and tie, completely anachronistic.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Today's episode is a tangible example of a company in the "natural capital" space. While not traditional agtech, the Hydrowood journey hits familiar themes: building a business within nature's constraints, managing capital intensity, and the frustrating search for the right investors.Andrew Morgan watched the Pieman River in Tasmania dam in the 1970s. In 1986, Lake Pieman flooded, submerging centuries-old forests. Many years later, he and co-founder David Wise spotted trees protruding from the dark water- large quantities of native species like Huon Pine, Tasmanian Myrtle, and Sassafras.The timber was salvageable, but they needed underwater logging technology that wouldn't disturb the lake's ecosystem. This led to the founding of Hydrowood. Today, the business has attracted millions in investment and high-end brand partnerships, but the journey has been far from easy.In this episode, guest host Adam Taylor, Insights Lead at Tenacious, and Andrew Morgan discuss:Why the Hydrowood narrative captivates investors and mediaTrading off custom versus standard machinery to lower financial riskPivoting to crowdfunding when traditional investment proved difficultThe future of sustainable and ethical forestryAndrew is also the Managing Director of SFM, an asset manager for large-scale plantation estates and carbon project developer.Useful Links:The economics of valuing natural capital, with Ken HenryHydrowood featured in first global flagship store by R.M WilliamsAustralian Carbon Credit Unit Scheme | Clean Energy RegulatorOnMarket crowd-sourced fundingForest Economics Congress, MONAFor more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

Scott Bowden set out two weeks ago to tackle a 580km route across Tasmania. His goal was to beat Payson's FKT from 2021, but most importantly, he just wanted to finish. With 11,000 meters of elevation, multiple river crossings, all types of weather, and punishing terrain, the route is brutal to say the least, and when Scott found himself struggling to keep his body temperature, he thought about pulling the plug. In the end, he did finish, and he joins Payson to swap war stories. Before discussing the ride, however, they talk about how Scott got there in the first place. He began his cycling career in XC, and even competed in the Olympics in 2016. After transitioning to pro road racing in Europe, however, his career was cut short by several factors caused by the pandemic. After moving back home to Tassie, he started a new chapter, both on the bike and off. This episode is brought to you by MAAP, TrainingPeaks, and Osprey. Watch Payson's new film Crossings: New Zealand here.Watch Crossing Tasmania here. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc
