From The Block to Brinkworth, Mat Johnson is swapping reality TV renovations for a country church, and Abbie caught up with him to hear all about his plans.

Also on The Greater SA Podcast, we’re talking about the proposed changes to birthing services at Crystal Brook and Jamestown, a timely reminder about snake bites as the weather warms up, and the beautiful transformation of Blume Estate at Mannum.

Plus, there’s a new mural turning heads in Gawler, some interesting results from the Aussie Bird Count, and our usual round-up of what’s happening across regional SA.

Grab a cuppa and catch up with us!

What defines a "female farmer"?

In this episode we mic up as we sit on a "creativity panel" at SheFarmer's Year of the Female Farmer event in Saddleworth.

We go beyond Greater SA and show a bit of raw vulnerability as we remind rural women it's ok to ditch the hats that no longer fit.

Discover more about She Farmer and the work Rachel Titley does here.

We thought we'd escaped to a quiet shearing shed... but the dog had other ideas, the father in law decided to high pressure clean the tractor, and somehow Melissa ended up advertising a job on her farm. 😂

Join us for another behind-the-scenes Greater SA catch-up as we talk the latest National Trust inquiry, October Long Weekend adventures, regional events and the stories that have kept us busy this week. It's basically our weekly meeting with a microphone... and you're invited along.

There’s plenty happening across country SA this week, and we chew the fat about all of it.

The Greater SA crew take a break from writing South Aussie stories to download on fishing bans, trashy news headlines and the Moonta volunteers taking National Trust SA to the Supreme Court. 

We dish up the details on regional events, from Cradock's Outback Revival, Farina's Underground Bakery opening and classic cars at Port Broughton.

And Melissa decides we need to get a Winnebego and go on a roadtrip to SA's far north.
