In this episode I talk to Patti and Jenny, two courageous women who embarked on a mission of epic proportions. They wanted to create a book that recorded the unique history and people of a place known to locals as the Five Villages. This publication is snapshot of life on the South coast for so many, but it also recorded something truly powerful about what happens when communities band together to protect their places.

The Five villages has a unique and strong history of activism - a history that continues today. And this book is a powerful record of what can be realised if people work together in the face of adversity - even when things feel hopeless.

In our very first episode of Active and Effective, I interview June Frew, a woman who has dedicated decades to the care and conservation of wildlife on the South Coast.

June shares the highs and the heartbreak of rescuing wildlife, and the many battles she has fought with her husband Lex in the face of rampant development and deforestation

on the southeast coast of Australia. We talked about many groups in the community that work to protect our wildlife and have listed some links below.
