The Lynd Oasis Roadhouse, is exactly that! An Oasis in the outback that the locals like to call home. In today's podcast I catch up with Pauline Royes and talk about life at the roadhouse being the centre of the community. Pauline also shares some early stories of life on the Atherton Tablelands. I hope you enjoy this one.

I join other producers today at the Elders Information Roadshow in Charters Towers. It was a great afternoon to catch up, have a BBQ and learn from some interesting presenters supporting graziers in the north.

Thanks to Elders team and reps for having me, love a good yarn especially with a great BBQ to match.

Nikki Johnston is a nanny, working on a remote cattle property in North Queensland. I catch up and have a chat with Nikki, and yarn about nanny life on a station, remote living, family support and all her other hobbies in between. So lovely to shine the light and an extraordinary life.

Jim Callcott has been in the Charters Towers region all his life. Today I have a yarn and its a good one from everything from having Shanghai's up the main street of Charters Towers to after-school antics at the rifle range. But it doesn't end here, this is just part one!

Every Man n His Dog is a podcast I recorded with a few of the competitors who attended the Fletcherview Working Cattle Dog Trial near Charters Towers over the weekend. A great insight to the handlers and working dogs in North Queensland.

I arrived at Leahton Park, Charters Towers at sunset hour. Oh, what a sight! I catch up with Michael Bethel after hours in Michael and Lynda's Saddlery Shop. We cover so many things, but the takeaway is "we can always find reasons not to do something - but just do it" Enjoy this one!

What a lovely chat I had with Katie Jones, the artist and amazing illustrator of Not Far to Go Now.  A beautifully illustrated book about life in the bush and especially our bush kids helping with a muster. We had an authentic farm background, so the animals calls are all a bonus!

I catch up with Bob and Beryl Johnston at their place near Charters Towers. Bob worked on the railway in the sleeper mills.  Cutting timber sleepers for the railway line. Beryl talks about her time as a railway workers wife, bringing up a young family in a tent on the railway in the 1950's.  Before moving to Charters Towers to work at Mossman Hall, a large psychiatric hospital in its time. Hope you enjoy our yarn.
