Welcome to this exciting episode of The Roar, part of the Australian Deer Podcast. Join host Paul Gray and Sean Kilkenny, Leader of Advocacy and Deer Management at the ADA, as they discuss monumental news for deer hunters in Australia. The Snowy River and Irinundra National Parks in Victoria have been opened for seasonal recreational deer hunting, a landmark achievement years in the making. This episode delves into the journey and persistence of the Australian Deer Association, working with government officials like Premier Jacinta Allan and Minister Steve Dimopoulos to make this dream a reality. Discover the significance of this victory for the hunting community and how it sets a precedent for the future of national parks in Australia. Alongside this significant development, the episode also covers the upcoming Tasmanian election and its implications for deer hunters, as well as new legislative opportunities in New South Wales. Tune in for all this and more, only on The Roar on the Australian Deer Podcast.

Join me on the second segment of my ecotourism trip to Tasmania, Australia (my unscientific, amateur, American, vegan, wombat-obsessed perspective) with all my own audio recordings from my June 2025 trip. This 58-minute (part 2) segment of the trip takes you along with me to my favorite part -- Maria Island National Park and its wombats, kangaroos and wallabies, stingrays, and ruby red anemones, and the culling issue of marsupial "overpopulation" -- through to Port Arthur Historic Convict Site, then on to the city of Hobart, with insights from my Conference on Communication and Environment #COCE2025 (at Univ of Tasmania), including compelling audio clips from Tassie Green Party pioneers who spoke to us -- Bob Brown and Christine Milne. As retired Members of Parliament, and forest/river and gender activists, Christine and Bob have refreshingly candid political advice for activists that also gives listeners insights into current Australian politics. Plus you get to hear their cool Aussie accents (much better than my one attempt early on to do an Aussie accent). "Bad Weather" pronounced "Beed Weeth-uh." (side note: I loved the cool weather there in their winter and the sunny days on the coast). If you like my ecotourist ramblings and low-tech audio, make sure you've listened to Tassie podcast part 1 in the previous podcast posting. And see photos and videos from my trip at https://www.facebook.com/InTunetoNature  Idea: You can do a drinking game every time I talk about wombat poop, the ferry, and how adorable any marsupial is. Note: All the animal audio and photos here are of free-living/wild animals (no one was captive in a zoo or sanctuary), which did limit the number of other animal species I interacted with (no Tasmanian Devils or platypuses this time), but I felt it was a more natural and respectful way to interact (it was the animal individual's choice to get near me or allow me nearer to them). And I had an amazing time, and was elated for every wild animal I saw (like fairy wrens or swamp hens at outdoor bistro tables eating my chia pudding cup). As part of me compensating for the greenhouse gas emitted from my international trip, I made some donations to the Tasmanian Land Conservancy and the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania and the Friends of Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary.

I'm so excited to share my three-week ecotourism trip through Tasmania, Australia. This 50-minute podcast is the first of a multi-part podcast series I created from the audio that I took along my June 2025 trip (and you can pair that with the gorgeous photos I posted on https://www.facebook.com/InTunetoNature ) to get a feel for this extraordinary place, and its animals, like wombats, kangaroos, wallabies, seals, whales, sheep, cows, and birds like cockatoos, forest ravens, magpies, wrens, and kookaburras. Often I'm adding in my own audio commentary and context as an American traveler and animal and environmental advocate, but other times I'm just quietly recording the voices and sounds around me, particularly the other animals there. Across the full series exploring Tasmania (or lutruwita, as the Aborignal Palawa people have called their homeland for 40,000 years), the itinerary I'll take you on is first a quick visit to Melbourne on the front end of the trip (hello city Cockatoo), and then we spend a week traveling through Northern and Eastern Tasmania, starting at beautiful Dove Lake in Cradle Mountain National Park (where I see my first wombats), through the second largest city, Launceston, and the wine and agricultural region, over to the East Coast to the iconic wineglass bay in Freycinet National Park (this is Part 1). And then in future podcasts, I take the ferry to Maria Island (with so many wild animals, including kangaroos) and Port Arthur historic convict site, then South, over to the largest city, Hobart, for a week for my participation in the Conference on Communication and Environment at Univ of Tasmania, and a post-conference on Deep Ecology with esteemed activist John Seed (and we also get to meet two of their biggest environmental activists who started the Green Party in Australia, Christine Milne and Bob Brown). Then before flying out of Melbourne, on the mainland of Australia, I share my tour of the Great Ocean Road where I got to see my first wild koalas up in the eucalyptus trees, and a kookaburra, black and white magpies, and kangaroos at their gorgeous national parks. Note: all the animal audio and photos here are of wild/free-living animals (no one was captive in a zoo or sanctuary), which did limit the number of other animal species I interacted with (no Tasmanian Devils or platypuses this time), but I felt it was a more natural and respectful way to interact (it was the animal individual's choice to get near me or allow me nearer to them). And I had an amazing time, and was elated for every wild animal I saw (even wrens or swamp hens at outdoor bistro tables), plus I enjoyed the human Aussies I met as well. Love their accents! As part of my compensation for the resources used and greenhouse gas emitted from my international trip, I made some donations to the Tasmanian Land Conservancy and the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania and the Friends of Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary.

On Flinders Island in Bass Strait sits a little-known place, significant to not only Tasmanian and Australian history ... but global history. It's known as Wybalenna and it's a place of deep sorrow for the Aboriginal community. But in more recent years an effort has been underway to make it a more comfortable place for the Aboriginal community to spend time for healing and truth-telling. With the community gathering there this week to mark NAIDOC week and continue the truth-telling that's been happening since colonisation. - فلنڈرز آئی لینڈ میں باس اسٹریٹ پر ایک کم معروف مقام موجود ہے جو نہ صرف تسمانیہ اور آسٹریلین تاریخ بلکہ عالمی تاریخ کے لیے بھی اہمیت کا حامل ہے۔ یہ مقام وائبلینا (Wybalenna) کے نام سے جانا جاتا ہے اور مقامی ایب اوریجنل کمیونٹی کے لیے گہرے دکھ اور صدمے کی جگہ ہے۔ تاہم حالیہ برسوں میں اسے ایک ایسا مقام بنانے کی کوشش کی جا رہی ہے جہاں ایب اوریجنل لوگ روحانی تسکین کے ساتھ تلخ تاریخی سچائی بیان کر سکیں۔ اس ہفتے کمیونٹی یہاں NAIDOC ہفتہ منانے اور نوآبادیاتی دور سے جاری سچ بیان کرنے کی روایت کو برقرار رکھنے کے لیے اکٹھی ہو رہی ہے۔

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, the acclaimed historians Dr Henry Reynolds and Dr Nicholas Clements chat with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about their choices while crafting Tongerlongeter: First Nations Leader and Tasmanian War Hero, the biography of the courageous Indigenous warrior, Tongerlongeter. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: Tongerlongeter's story, like many Indigenous Australian narratives, has largely been erased from mainstream history Why sharing Tongerlongeter's story is crucial and so relevant today Why Henry Reynolds and Nicholas Clements reframed early 19th-century Tasmanian history through a biographical lens Henry and Nicholas's research strategy given that few archival records exist of Indigenous peoples' lives in 19th-century Tasmania How Henry and Nicholas ensured Tongerlongeter's voice and agency were central to the narrative The literary devices Henry and Nicholas employed to craft gripping narrative and create a graphic sense of place How Tongerlongeter challenged traditional narratives of Tasmanian Indigenous history Why deeply researched, revisionist accounts of a life and events are so vital in authentically portraying our nation's history and the individuals who created that history

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Nicola Mason, co-founder of Smitten Merino, shares how she built a thriving Tasmanian fashion brand from her dining table to a $4M business with 30 staff. Using premium Merino wool, they've championed local manufacturing and sustainability, growing through clever strategies like authentic, personal email marketing. Nicola talks about navigating challenges during COVID, balancing rapid growth with family life, and how resilience and creativity turned their dream into a lasting success story. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Nicola Mason, the hardest thing in growing a small business is making sure you don't damage family relationships along the way—especially in a family-run business. Balancing intense work demands with family harmony takes real intention. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Nicola Mason shares that The E-Myth was one of the first business books that truly helped her, alongside Brene Brown's work on vulnerability and leadership, and she recently found Hanging by a Thread by Erin Dearing particularly relevant. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? According to Nicola Mason, some of the best resources to help grow a small business include the Grow a Small Business Podcast, Diary of a CEO, Huberman Lab, and anything by Brene Brown. She finds these not only practical but also inspiring for both business strategy and personal development. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Nicola Mason believes the best “tool” for growing a small business isn't software or tech, but the qualities of passion and resilience—showing up every day, even when it's tough. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Nicola Mason would tell herself on day one to keep going, hold onto the dream, trust the vision, and know that despite the setbacks, it truly will work out in the end.

The Importance of BiodiversityDescription:This episode was originally released on October 31, 2022Conservation is often about protecting the species that still wander around our Earth. But what about those that once did but have gone extinct? In this Halloween-inspired episode, we take a look into how one spooky idea has gone from science fiction to science fact, de-extinction style.Dr. Kaylee Byers takes us to the upside-down world of wild animals in Australia. She sits down with Dr. Axel Newton whose research addresses how to resurrect a species that has been extinct for nearly a century. Also joining her is Dr. Carolyn Hogg who uses the latest genomic technology to understand the impacts of reintroducing endangered species into their native habitats. In this wacky tale of resurrection and 'devils' will the spirit of scientific discovery mean incredible changes for the future, or is a line being crossed that we can't come back from?References:1.

Many punters have noted the absence of Luke Currie from the Melbourne riding ranks in recent weeks. The popular jockey has simply taken advantage of the off-season period to attend to a nagging knee issue he's been dealing with for quite some time.  He's making great progress and hopes to return to the saddle in just a few weeks. Luke Currie has had a presence among Victoria's top bracket of riders for close to three decades posting more than 1500 winners with 13 Gr 1's prominent on his CV. He's been on our podcast shortlist for a long time and we've been able to make it happen during his current layoff. Luke begins by tendering a full report on his troublesome knee. He says the timing of his hiatus wasn't ideal. He'd been riding winners everywhere. The jockey looks back on his Tasmanian upbringing and an early apprenticeship to his father Ricky. He looks back on a couple of winners in his home state. The system was such that any Tasmanian wins would have had an effect on his Victorian claim. He had to relocate as soon as possible.  Luke looks back on his time with trainer and former champion jockey Pat Hyland. He talks of a transfer to Robbie Griffiths in the latter stages of his apprenticeship, and the golden opportunity he was given by his new boss. The high profile jockey looks back on a six race association with champion mare Makybe Diva. Luke remembers his first Gr 1 success on hardy gelding Roman Arch in the famous Toorak Hcp. He pays tribute to mentor, confidant and friend the late Deane Lester. He reminisces about two C.F Orr victories on Suavito and Manuel. The jockey pays a heartfelt tribute to brilliant mare Sunlight  who provided him with ten wins including two Gr 1's. He recalls her fighting effort to beat some star colts in the Coolmore Stud Stakes.  Luke marvels at the mind boggling money generated by Sunlight and her relatives in the sale ring. Currie will always have a soft spot for Hey Doc. He rode the sprinter-miler 27 times for 8 wins including 4 Gr 1's. He reviews his two memorable Blue Diamond wins on Lyre and Artorius. Luke says he was thrilled to win the 2021 Newmarket for old friend Matthew Ellerton. He agrees his McKinnon Stakes win on Arcadia Queen was perhaps the easiest elite level win he's ever been involved with. Luke looks back on his Hong Kong experience at the height of the covid pandemic. He won at his first race ride, but everything went “belly up” from there. He says there was one memorable development during his time in Hong Kong when invited to fly home to ride Mr. Brightside in the All Star Mile at Moonee Valley. The story had a happy ending. Luke pays tribute to his girls- wife Sophia and daughters Mia and Miley.  This is a laid back chat with a Melbourne jockey whose reputation for hard work and reliability precedes him wherever he goes. 

Laos, a Southeast Asian country of about 7 million people,is known for its Buddhist traditions and vibrant food culture. Outhay grew up in the capital, Vientiane, helping her family run a 24-hour convenience store where everyone pitched in. Memories of both the abundance and scarcity of foodshaped her childhood.After studying English at university, Outhay worked ingovernment administration, where she met Roger, a Tasmanian geologist working in Laos. Romance developed gradually, and laws in Laos had significant penalties for Lao women having relationships with foreign men, meaning they had to bite the bullet and they got married in 2005. In 2006, Outhay moved to a farm in Wilmot, north-westTasmania. She connected with the local community through playgroups with herchildren and became known for her spring rolls. Later, she retrained by studying cooking at TAFE, worked at a café, and completed a chef's apprenticeship—earning Tasmania's Apprentice of the Year in 2016.

During our recent trip to Tasmania, we had a surprising highlight.  Our hike to The Confluence — the meeting place of two rivers — and what we found was confronting. The Queen River, once flowing clear through the Tasmanian wilderness, is now known as Australia's most polluted waterway.   Decades of mining in Queenstown left more than a scar on the land — they poisoned the water, stripped the hills bare, and rewrote the natural order. In this episode, we explore the legacy of mining, the price of progress,  and a personal reflection on what standing in that space stirred.

This episode is in partnership with RaconteurIn this episode we get to know the incredible Craig Andrade at one of our favourite fragrance stores @bloomperfumery . Craig is the founder of niche fragrance brand @the_rac_on_teur and his story is both emotional and inspiring.During the episode we learn about the moment in his life that changed everything and took him from being a lawyer in a high-stress environment to being totally immersed in the world of fragrance to the point that he enrolled himself into the Grasse Institute and started his journey as a perfumer and brand founder.Craig's brand is astonishing in a number of ways. Not only does he bring little known Australian botanicals to the fore and give them a beautiful spotlight, but there is a wonderful sense of humour and irreverence. (Craig injects so much of his amazing personality into the brand).Craig is the most passionate and supportive man as you'll hear. He champions everyone in the industry and we feel so lucky that he has also chosen to support our podcast not only for this episode for the next few weeks.During the episode we have our first encounter with his mind-blowingly brilliant collection. Join us as we sniff six gourmands, each with a uniquely Australian twist and some world-first notes that define his frontier perfumery practice: Killr Vanillr — Australians have a bit of a reputation for knowing how to have a good time. This is a scent for 3am — for lovers of late nights and legendary Australian dancefloors. Deep, dark, rich and smokey — a vanilla slice mirror ball. No-Tell Motel — Date night scent — If a dirty martini and spicy margarita hooked up, this would be their motel lock-in. Boozy, flirty, unapologetically fun. Two “world firsts” in fine fragrance: an “olive fruit absolute” extract and a CO2 extract of Tasmanian Mountain Pepper — which introduces a new earthy green facet to the spice family. I pioneered this new spice for the signature scent I designed for Australian pop star, Troye Sivan, and No-Tell Motel continues the story of this rare Tasmanian spice. Pavlova Kasanova — A bittersweet ode to long-distance love, built around Australia's most iconic dessert: the pavlova. Ms. Macadamia — Bold and free-spirited, a scent I designed as a tribute to all the women in my life: Australia's native macadamia nut, native golden wattle, precious orris root and sultry smokey peach. Lord Lamington — A classic cologne, laced with ambition and a slice of Australia's cocoa-dipped nostalgic cake. For those who want to have their cake and eat it. Daintree Rain Tea — A meditative scent inspired by Australia's ancient Daintree Rainforest.

But what is the “West” and where did our culture come from? How did the concepts of 'rule of law' and 'free speech' evolve and how have they helped make Western culture so strong? And why is it 'cool' for intellectuals on the left to criticise the West so much? Rob McMullan from the Natural Law Institute joins me to explain.Help us build a whole new world of Aussie media!
