I Hate to Whinge

So it turns out being a mermaid isn’t as glamorous as the fairytales have had us believe all these years: there’s a whole lot more plastic & trash to navigate, species to save, and those tails certainly don’t feel as majestic as they look.

Keep up to date with Salacia and her mermaid friends, Australia-wide, here.

I’ve decided it’s time to hand the whinging privileges over to a few other voices: I Hate To Whinge the Podcast is coming!

Each week, one guest will finish the sentence, “I hate to whinge but …”. What unfolds from there is all part of the fun. Who knows where one little whinge could lead?

Because sometimes the greatest stories start from a little whinge …
