Today I have a chat with Megan Sidebottom from Solo Birds.  As I was in Longreach for a couple of days and love a good coffee, I decided to have a chat with Megan. The flies in this particular week were, a little thick you could say. Be sure to check out our picture bottom!!!

This is the part of the podcast where I dive, into our lives in the bush and the extraordinary people in them. Ok so we all don't have a micro business and this might not be everyone's cup of tea. But what I am hoping is by listening in today you might think that little idea you have had floating around in your head may finally be given the soil needed to sprout.

I ask Megan lots of questions about what, this virtual co-working space looks like. As I am a very visual person and I can't be the only one, I wanted to paint the picture of the space from this audio. Basically, we talk about resourceful thinking, mental wellness and especially for the mum's out there post-natal depression. No, we are not professional experts in this area, but to have an open conversation about mental health its critically essential in these long dry years we are experiencing out bush.

I hope you hang in there to the end as two mates, catch up and talk about there passions.

Like many other women in the bush, Tess Pemble wears many hats.  Grazier, teacher, swim instructor, member of the community and voice of the outback. 

In this episode Sink or Swim I talk with Tess Pemble from Allan Hills Station and discuss the reality of living in drought and her work in providing swimming lessons in the bush when water is, an issue itself.

I called in and had smoko with Don, we sat around the kitchen table and had a great yarn.  I could have spent hours more and this podcast could have been made up of a complete season with serial episodes of Don Douglas's life. But what I have had to do, was give you just one episode.

Helping Dad 

Dad drove the tractor while I operated the drawn scoop. Then he handled the mouldboard plough (sometimes called a road plough) while I drove the tractor.  The single mouldboard and plough shear was next (behind an adjustable skid plate which gave the depth of cut). Behind that were two iron handles by which the operator held it upright and against the countering effect of the mouldboard. It required strength and a certain skill to be managed in hard ground.

Gone Cop can be purchased from Amazon Kindle

Like a Book in Your Hand?These books can be found at:

Cunningham's Newsagency in Charters Towers,

Woods News in Ayr

Rhonda's Refits in Toowoomba

Boolarong Press 

Don knows how to tell a good yarn. With five generations of pastoral experience in his blood, these books will have you hooked!!! Happy Reading.
