After lots of rest and rejuvenation, we are back in action with a deep dive into what our last year has been like. As promised, we debrief our Great Ocean Walk and talk about the recent developments in our lives. We have both undergone immense changes and we've really enjoyed having the year to reflect on what we want to bring you. We have some funny stories, heartfelt moments, and lots of adventure to share. Join us in our new season and don't forget to send us your funny adventure moments. We'll read them out on the podcast!

Content warning: In this episode we speak about chronic illness, disability, and surgery.

We live and work on Wurundjeri and Bunurong land and we pay our respects to elders past and present. We want to acknowledge that this is stolen land and we are on this land as beneficiaries of an unreconciled dispossession which is ongoing today.  We are striving for growth in how we can be better allies and accomplices while we walk and speak about land.  In this conversation we do speak about "buying land" and we reflect and recognise the impact of buying land that is not rightfully ours and where there has been no treaty. We will do better to be mindful about these conversations and the general concept of buying land in the future. We recognise this always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.

While we were recording and editing this episode, the Aboriginal community lost a shining young soul. We want to send our deepest thoughts and wishes to the family of Cassius Turvey who was murdered while walking home from school. We want counteract statements that were made to the public and say that it is white supremacy, racism, and violence that is in the wrong place, not a teenage boy simply going home from school. The atrocities committed against this young man and subsequently his family and community are appalling and we are so saddened for the community at this time. We send our respects and love to the families and community who lost this bright soul. If you can, please donate to his family at their Go Fund Me site here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/justiceforcassius
