In the 1920's and 30s, shark attacks off the coast of New South Wales, Australia were not an especially uncommon event. In 1935, however, Sydney's peaceful coastal charm was shattered by a grotesque discovery at the Coogee Aquarium that was anything but normal. A captured tiger shark, put on public display, vomited up a human arm—severed, tattooed, and unmistakably out of place. What began as a curiosity quickly spiraled into a chilling murder mystery involving gangsters, betrayal, and a body that was never found. SOURCES Roope, Phillip & Meagher, Kevin (2020) Shark Arm.

The SA Drink of the Week this week is a brand new Raspberry and Finger Lime Gin from 23rd Street Distillery. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, we hear the emotionally charged single "Sincerely Me" by the talented Hayli. Join us for this milestone episode as we blend history, music, and community conversation, marking eleven years of showcasing the passions that shape South Australia.

Running Sheet: Those Dry Stone Walls Of South Australia 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:04:05 SA Drink Of The Week The South Australian Drink Of The Week this week is the brand new Raspberry and Finger Lime Gin from 23rd Street Distillery. This gin is a really interesting blend of juicy raspberries and tangy finger lime. After soaking the blue juniper berries they then start the vapor distil process, creating a spicy, aromatic gin base. Then they add in the raspberries and finger lime, which soak for about three weeks, tasting daily to get that balance right.  The gin's smooth and fruity, and its recommended to mix it with tonic or soda and garnish with lime and mint. Our guest taster, John Gledhill from Gledhill Vignerons, mixed the drinks with Bickfords Soda and Bickfords Dry Tonic, and then pulled a rabbit out of the hat, mixing it with Fever Tree Raspberry Tonic. He also agrees with the good people at 23rd Street, that this would go very very well with dark chocolate. 00:18:30 Bruce Munday, Those Dry Stone Walls Revisited South Australia is blessed with beautiful stone – stone with colour, texture and light. Some of our stone structures have stood for 150 years, never touched by mortar. So, in this episode, Bruce Munday returns to The Adelaide Show to share the stories behind these stone walls and the people who built them and commissioned them. His book is, Those Dry Stone Walls Revisited, out through Wakefield Press. If Bruce sounds familiar, he was last on our show in 2017, discussing the history of rabbits in South Australia and beyond. 01:03:50 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature Sincerely Me by Hayli. Hayli was first on The Adelaide Show in episode 369, but has released a new single since then, Sincerely Me, which is very very raw. In fact, it comes with an explicit tag so if you're listening with kids or you'd prefer not to have your sensibilities pushed, you might want to click through to listen to some of her other tracks instead. As you'll hear in our interview, Hayli is a dynamic artist who pursues great clarity in in her stories, with the lyrics matching the melody and performance. So, it only follows that when she is unpacking a story of betrayal, that the passion and the rawness go off the scale. I've since discovered why Hayli was so generous in her interview and so clear in her willingness to dive into her storytelling through song; it's because she wants all of us to embrace music culture , whether we're adults or whether we're kids who are thinking about learning an instrument. Hayli, who is the music teacher at Seaview High School, says the most important part to of music is that people learn the value of self expression and teamwork. And she must be doing something right because her students have nominated her as the ARIA Music Teacher of the year. You can watch the nomination video with Sarah McLeod, and you can also vote for her, once a day, between now and November 13, 2024.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this special episode recorded at the Adelaide Central School of Art, Andrew Purvis talks to 2024 SALA Feature Artist Julia Robinson, and her monograph writers Hannah Kent, Leigh Robb, and Jess Taylor. They discuss the collaborative process that brought the book to fruition, and how each of the writers used Julia's work as inspiration for their pieces, particularly her interest in folklore, horror themes and feminism. Julia also delves into working with designer Rachel Harris on the visual representation of the monograph. In the Q&A section, Julia explains how the book was structured around each of the writer's interests; the process for creating her sculptures; and the significance of dark themes in her art. Finally, Julia discusses the impact of receiving the Feature Artist award, and the influence and importance of SALA Festival on her career and the opportunities it affords all artists.

The best kind of YA novels are the ones that appeal to a broad audience.  Ones that teenagers, younger and older adults alike can relate to on a multitude of levels. In my time as a podcaster I've been fortunate to encounter some truly engaging, highly relevant YA stories that offer a glimpse into the lives of young adults and the issues they face making their way out into the world.  So when I heard about Troy Hunter's novel, ‘Gus and the Missing Boy', a part-detective, part coming of age story, I was intrigued. And I knew I wanted to learn more.  Troy is a Melbourne-based writer of both adult and YA fiction.  His work has appeared in a variety of publications which include Visible Ink, Nocturnal Submissions and Outrage Magazine.  'Gus and the Missing Boy' (published by Wakefield Press) is Troy's debut novel.  I was thrilled to have the chance to speak with him on the podcast recently. 

S3E5 Queer Writes Session: R.W.R. McDonald with Troy Hunter In this episode Rob chats with Troy Hunter about his debut YA novel, Gus and the Missing Boy, published by Wakefield Press in March 2024. They chat about Troy's serendipitous pathway to publication, crime fiction, author identity, and Troy offers great writing advice. Troy Hunter's shout out books this episode are: A Man and His Pride by Luke Rutledge (check out our interview with Luke QWS S2E3) Mona of the Manor by Armistead Maupin Queer Writes Session (QWS) Podcast, a Words & Nerds spin off series hosted by Rob aka R.W.R.

Jessica Loughlin's work is characterized by a strict reductive sensibility and restricted use of color. Fusing kiln formed sheets of opaque and translucent glass together in flat panels or in thin, geometric compositions and vessels, she alludes to shadow, reflection and refraction. Loughlin's work is influenced by the flat landscapes and salt lakes of South Australia, and the recurring motif of the mirage appears in much of her work. Each piece makes its own poetic statement.  “My work investigates space, seeing distance and understanding how wide-open spaces, particularly of the Australian landscape, affect us. I am fascinated by the unreachable space. The view we look upon, but can never reach. In this minimal landscape, all elements are stripped back, light becomes the landscape, and I am left looking at space, the space between here.…and there. This viewed distance is a place we can never reach, never get to, for as we move towards it, it moves away from you. Is this a real place or is it a projected space of the imagination. My work does not aim to represent this landscape directly but rather induce a state of looking inward and outward simultaneously.”   Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Loughlin is a graduate of the Canberra School of Art under the tutelage of late Stephen Procter. Her work can be found in the permanent collections of the Corning Museum of Glass, the National Gallery of Australia, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, National Museums Scotland, Edinburgh GB, and the Musee de Design et d'Arts Appliques Contemporains in Lausanne, Switzerland. A studio artist for over 20 years, Loughlin has exhibited both nationally and internationally. In 2020, she was only the second Australian to have work selected as a finalist in the Loewe Craft Prize. In 2018, she was awarded the Fuse Glass Prize, and in 2004 and 2007, the Tom Malone Art Prize. She is represented by Sabbia Gallery, Sydney, Australia, and Caterina Tognon, Venice, Italy. A committed and passionate artist who is highly regarded both in Australia and internationally, Loughlin combines her thoughtful and instinctual approach with extraordinary technical skills. With a gentle color palette of soft muted hues, her work often explores ideas of evaporation, space and distance, all inherent in the Australian landscape. Loughlin's work was on view in late 2023 in a solo exhibition near | far at Sabbia Gallery, Sydney, and her piece of light is on national tour as part of the Jamfactory Icon series, accompanied by a monograph of her art Jessica Loughlin: from here published by Wakefield Press. In 2024, Loughlin was selected for and will participate in the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia, March 29 through June 2.  

Kara Walker is one of America's most significant living artists, known for cut-paper silhouettes and gigantic public sculptures, using the visual artefacts of slavery in nightmarish black and white scenes.At the heart is an exploration of race, sexuality and gender, and a critique of white supremacy. Could the black-humoured delivery of the message get lost on Australian audiences? Hopefully not – two of her works, Your World is About to Change and a film, Testimony: Narrative of a Negress Burdened by Good Intentions – have been acquired by the National Gallery of Australia.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page   Running Sheet: Alex Frayne on framing Adelaide and South Australia00:00:00 Intro Introduction to the show. 00:03:18 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week is 2021 Ginache from Never Never Distilling Co. 00:25:53 Alex Frayne In the foreword to Landscapes of South Australia, Murray Bramwell notes that a landscape is a scene seen from a single aspect. He notes that Frayne helps us see, almost for the first time, what it is that has been seen many times before. It is an act of revelation. My hope, in this interview is to shed some light, on local photographer and artist, Alex Frayne, so that those of us who have seen his work, can have the artist revealed. Landscapes of South Australia on Wakefield Press Alex Frayne Facebook Page Alex, this chat will be more about themes rather than be based upon specific questions. There is much we can dwell upon and I expect that every stop along the way has great potential for unending conversation. But I'd like to start with the art and/or discipline of “seeing” the familiar. And perhaps your image, Maslin Beach, is a good start for undressing this topic because I've just come back from there, but your lens has shown that coastline in its full morning glory – autumnal tones, some water, some vegetation – it was rich and lavish and is right under our noses. How do you decide where to stop and shoot. You have revealed the autumnal palate in many of your shots – a palate I have been hitherto unaware of. Take us through your journey of seeing light – from your time in England, to your time here in South Australia. The outback inspires many – I've just returned from it – but you talk about its allure in terms of photographic nothingness – negative space. What do you mean and how does that affect your framing? You are so masterful with your work but you also admit the Mallee has not been conquered yet. What is the challenge? You have a film making background and I know you argue that film makers prefer night lighting. Isn't that the bain of photography, due to grain? What's the allure and is there such as thing as perfect black? How do you choose between portrait, landscape, or square? And what determines the depth of an image? Landscape photography, indeed, art itself, requires patience from three parties – the artist, the audience, and the patron, benefactor, or client who funds it. Let's look at each one. The artist – how do you summon the focus to have patience? And does that mean returning to a location numerous times? And how long before you admit defeat? The audience – a coffee table book demands a coffee table and time to be spent at one. Who is the audience? How do we become your audience? And are there less of us due to us being glued to mobile phones? The patron. In this case, Wakefield Press. They need patience for the momentum to build, do they not? What gets you that sort of support? In fact, you quit film making because photography was more lucrative. That surprises me. Can you explain? My favourite shot from you book is The Long Dark. An Ampol service station at night, in Wistow. We see it and we see the road disappear into pitch black. That leads to introspection. Is that what you want? There was also some fear in that photo. You say film makers still use the aussie landscape to inspire fear – you see it for revelation. Wy the difference? Isn't it just darkness, ANYWHERE, that inspires fear? Light Visions, Dark Intervals – tell us about this Now, pitch the book. 01:34:46 Musical Pilgrimage In the musical pilgrimage, we have a fitting song from Magic Tortoise, entitled, Wild. Follow Magic Tortoise on Facebook. Magic Tortoise performs quirky, atmospheric, alt-folk music and they were brought to our attention by band member, Tim Seeley, whom Steve met last week on Hamilton Island (a perfect tortoise location, maybe).

Wakefield Press tell us their publishing secrets.

Poet's Corner is WestWords' monthly encounter with celebrated Australian poets, curated by David Ades. Each month a poet is invited to read and talk about their poetry on a theme of the poet's choice. Geoff Goodfellow has established a reputation for giving voice to a wide range of people who wouldn't normally be the subjects of poetry or prose. He left school at fifteen and began to write in 1982 at the age of thirty-three. He had worked for many years in semi-skilled occupations. Essentially, he is an auto-didact. In February of 2008 Geoff was diagnosed with cancer of the throat and told he had one to five years to live. Geoff continues to defy the odds. In 2011 he published Waltzing with Jack Dancer: a slow dance with cancer (Wakefield Press). His first collection of poetry No Collars No Cuffs was launched at Adelaide Writer's Week in 1986. It has been re-printed nine times. Ten books have followed, most going into multiple print runs. An eleventh book, his first book of short stories Out of Copley Street (Wakefield Press) will be launched at the Hawke Centre in Adelaide on October 29th by Professor Rick Sarre, Dean of Law at UniSA. Geoff has worked as a writer-in-residence in school, jails, youth detention centres, drug & alcohol rehabilitation units, building and construction sites, factories, mad-houses…as well as in universities in Australia and overseas. He has toured Canada, USA, Cuba, China, Europe and the UK, giving readings of his work as well as taking up residencies. In 1988 Geoff was awarded the Inaugural Carclew Fellowship at the Festival Awards for Literature, to assist the development of young South Australian writers. In 2002 his collection Poems for a Dead Father was short listed for the Age Book of the Year award. His poems have appeared in The Best Australian Poetry 2009 and The Best Australian Poems 2011, 2012, 2014 & 2015. Geoff grew up in the inner-northern suburbs of Adelaide but has lived most of his adult life close to the beach at Semaphore.

An exposé of the corruption of medicine by the pharmaceutical industry at every level, from exploiting the vulnerable destitute for drug testing, through manipulation of research data, to disease mongering and promoting drugs that do more harm than good. Authors, Professor Jon Jureidini and Dr Leemon McHenry, made critical contributions to exposing the scientific misconduct in two infamous trials of antidepressants. Ghostwritten publications of these trials were highly influential in prescriptions of paroxetine (Paxil) and citalopram (Celexa) in paediatric and adolescent depression, yet both trials (Glaxo Smith Kline's paroxetine study 329 and Forest Laboratories' citalopram study CIT-MD-18) seriously misrepresented the efficacy and safety data. The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine: Exposing the Crisis of Credibility in Clinical Research (Wakefield Press, 2020) provides a detailed account of these studies and argues that medicine desperately needs to re-evaluate its relationship with the pharmaceutical industry. Without a basis for independent evaluation of the results of randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trials, there can be no confidence in evidence-based medicine. Science demands rigorous, critical examination and especially severe testing of hypotheses to function properly, but this is exactly what is lacking in academic medicine.

Lisa Walker launches her 2nd YA novel "The Girl with the Gold Bikini" Whenever I see a girl with a gold bikini, I think of Princess Leia. Here on the Gold Coast, gold bikinis are common, so I think of Princess Leia a lot. Eighteen-year-old Olivia Grace has deferred her law degree and ducked out of her friends' gap-year tour of Asia. Instead, she's fulfilling her childhood dream of becoming a private investigator, following in the footsteps of Nancy Drew and Veronica Mars - who taught her everything she knows, including a solid line in quick-quipping repartee, the importance of a handbag full of disguises, and a way of mixing business with inconvenient chemistry. Playing Watson to the Sherlock of her childhood friend, detective agency owner Rosco (once the Han Solo to her Princess Leia), Olivia pursues a routine cheating husband case from the glitzy Gold Coast to Insta-perfect Byron Bay, where she faces yoga wars, dirty whale activism, and a guru who's kind of a creep. Olivia Grace is a teenage screwball heroine for the #metoo era, and is a body-positive detective romp, rich with pop-culture pleasures.The Girl with the Gold Bikini SHOW NOTES: Writes4Womenwww.writes4women.comFacebook @writes4womenTwitter / Instagram @w4wpodcast W4W Patreonhttps://www.writes4women.com/support-us-on-patreon Lisa Walker "The Girl with the Gold Bikini" https://www.lisawalker.com.au Wakefield Presshttps://www.wakefieldpress.com.au/product.php?productid=1555Facebook @lisawalkerhomeInstagram @lisawalkerwriter Pamela Cookwww.pamelacook.com.auFacebook @pamelacookauthorTwitter @PamelaCookAU Listen Up Podcasting (Kel Butler)www.listenuppodcasting.com.auFacebook @kelbutler / @listenuppodcastingTwitter @KelB

Tyler is back for the show notes and if you play your cards right I might also give you a free knee cap piercing.     What we are watching/reading   Tyler:  Alien 40th Anniversary Edition.  Check out ten reasons to buy it.  He is also really excited about John Langan's new collection Sefira and Other Betrayals. Mike is reading Nicole Cushing's Mirrors.  You can check out one of her fabulous weird stories, The Orchard of Hanging Trees on Pseudopod Episode 277.  He also is reading Whiskey Tales by Jean Rey.  Both of us flicked our beans about how great it is to have a favorite author.  Check out Wakefield Press a small press that specializes in translations.  Worde Horde publishes Langan and Cushing.  They are the best.   Dark Corners of the Web Darkest Night, its Bianural.  Hit us up on the FB group if you have any idea how to actually pronounce that word.  Tyler specifically mentioned the episode Happy Hollow Farms.  Essential Question:  Is American Mary making any specific claims about American views of self-expression? 1.  The Movie The Bad review comes from The Guardian.  Listen as we pretend to be stuffy British dudes from Manchester.  The Good review comes from IGN.  Its what you would expect from folks that like a movie about electively removing one's nipples. Also, both of us liked the movie a lot. 2.  The Theory Anya Stanley has a kick-ass article in Vague Visages that picks apart what the movie says about feminism, the female body, and self-expression.  Its pretty rad.   IndieWire has what is essentially a negative review of the movie but offers some interesting analysis with what the film attempts to do. LightSpeed Magazine has a pretty comprehensive if basic explanation of the different forms of body modification.  The boys talk about folks they knew that branded themselves.   3.  The Application. We ran out of time to really further expand on the application but there is an interesting article in BRNO Studies in English about the Canadian and American dichotomy in terms of American Psycho and American Mary. Sight and Sound has a pretty good bio piece about the Soska Sisters who wrote and directed the movie. Finally, Mike unpacks what a Mary Sue is and refuses to explain what flicking ones bean means.  Although he has agreed to get a tattoo of a hotdog on his neck.     Next Week Old Testament Horror and The Dibbuk Box.

Patricia Sumerling presented on 28 November 'Elephants and Egotists'. Samorn, the Adelaide Zoo's last elephant, was adored by generations of zoo visitors. A gift from the Thai government in 1956, she was transferred thirty-five years later to Monarto Zoo to live out her days. When she died there in 1994 there was an outpouring of sadness from all who knew or grew up with her. Elephants and Egotists is a tribute to Samorn, but also tells of other elephants sent to South Australia and the colourful characters who decided their fate. Elephants, particularly those in Southeast Asia, are now a critically endangered species needing our concern and immediate action. As Sir David Attenborough asks: 'The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?' 'Elephants and Egotists: in search of Samorn of the Adelaide Zoo' was published in 2016 by Wakefield Press. www.wakefieldpress.com.au/ This free public lecture was part of the History Trust of South Australia's Talking History series.

George Wauchope Cameron arrived in the Wirrabara district in the 1850s. For over fifty years Aboriginal people – the Nukunu – regularly camped on ‘Doughboy Creek’, the land purchased by Cameron in the 1870s. In this paper Dr Krichauff draws on stories of Aboriginal-settler interaction told to her by six of Cameron’s descendants during site visits and interviews. Dr Krichauff shows, by recognising the importance of place – and continuity of people in place – and the degree to which lived experiences (of past and present generations) determine what is remembered, we are better able to analyse and, ultimately, understand, the absence of Aboriginal people in the historical consciousness of mid-northern South Australian settler descendants. Skye Krichauff is a historian and anthropologist who is interested in historical cross-cultural relations and understanding the enduring legacies of colonialism. Her doctoral thesis (conferred in 2015) was a place-centred ethnography which investigated the absence of Aboriginal people in the historical consciousness of settler descendants. Skye has previously worked on an international project 'Social Memory, Historical Injustice', as a history researcher for an Aboriginal community organisation and on various research projects including the compilation of a register of SA and NT Aboriginal‒settler conflict. Nharangga wargunni buggi-buggilu, a rewritten version of Skye’s Masters thesis, was published by Wakefield Press in 2011. Her rewritten doctoral thesis will be published by Anthem Press in early 2017. Recorded on 13 September 2016

This week, Steve and Michael hop along to Bruce Munday's place to learn how "those wild rabbits" have thumped their way through Australia's history. We hear about good intentions, cute furriness, very effective teeth and claws, the trail of damage to this land and its native species, and finally a turning of the tables as we begin to win. Bruce's book, Those Wild Rabbits, is out now through Wakefield Press. This week, the SA Drink Of The Week is from Coriole Wines Michael will try to stump us, virtually, with IS IT NEWS on the topic of rabbits. In 100 Weeks Ago we hear from Samela Harris, lover of penguins and many native animals. And in the musical pilgrimage ... our musical curator has dusted off a fantastic song we played a few years ago because it was the most perfect song for tonight; house rabbit blues.

Could our Adelaide winter be a blessing for getting healthy? Professor Gary Wittert from the University of Adelaide thinks so and explains why as we talk to him about all manner of health topics as part of the SAHMRI opening. The South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute is celebrating its official opening this week and we chat with Gary about: The SAHMRI The Fat vs Sugar Q and A involving Tony Jones this week Whether South Australia should use indulgent food in its tourism advertising, given a growing awareness about cutting down on calories You'll even learn what section of the supermarket makes him angry, really angry! Chloe from Yelp is with us to undo the professor's work and guide us around five spots where you can avoid the cold and enjoy hearty, interesting meals - with or without tracky dacks! Brett poses a question: when is grooming too much grooming for men? He explains in the podcast and seeks your feedback, especially from women listeners. We note the launch of AdelaideFree City Wifi - enjoy it as you go about the CBD. Colin notes the large number of mobile phone offenses reported by South Australia Police recently, while Steve shares an inspiring quote from Michael Bollen from Wakefield Press about the true joy of a great book.

This week in Adelaide's Yesterdays it is 'school memories' to honour the conference in Adelaide this week looking at the next wave of challenges facing school design and construction. Chloe from Yelp gives us five great places to go to enjoy Winter better this year - all around Adelaide, the Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula. Dr Dino Hodge returns for part two of the interview about his book, Don Dunstan: Intimacy and Liberty (a political biography). We also cover Adelaide's water (it's better than legend would have you believe), Peter Goers, and Peppa Pig - pick the odd one out! Plus wine from Sir Richard Branson, music about the death of Dr George Duncan, and an Adelaide Visa Council that not only crosses borders, but crosses the floor of parliament. Did someone mention Martin Hamilton Smith? We also stumble across an actual Boring Conference which we'd like to bring Down Under.

Try mentioning South Australia to any other Australian and inevitably the name Don Dunstan will come up. This week, we delve into the first biography about Don Dunstan by interviewing its author, Dr Dino Hodge. Dino unravels some of the mystery around Don Dunstan by taking us back to his formative years, the social and sexual culture of early 20th Century South Australia, the cold war, the police and ASIO special squads and, ultimately, the key things that shrouded his departure from public life. Also this week, we discuss the mainstream media coverage of our interview with Adelaide Lord Mayor, Stephen Yarwood, in last week's show, episode 038. In particular, we discuss the City Messenger treatment of the story in which they tried to milk controversy that wasn't there from Stephen Yarwood's use of the term apartheid. We feature an incredibly talented South Australian band, The Bearded Gypsy Band. The aplomb with which they play clever, complicated compositions is a delight to listen to and to savour. Likewise, this week's wine is fittingly an 8 Songs shiraz from Peter Lehmann - harmony, confidence, majesty!
