Episode 94 Bird Sound Utopia

Sometimes the unexpected podcasts can be the most rewarding.  On my journey west in the Fraser Coast Region, I found myself staying overnight at the Utopia Environmental Reserve as the guest of Tony Bayliss & Fiona McDonald Bayliss.  What I didn't know about this adventure was that Tony is a passionate wildlife sound recordist, who will do this until he literally falls of his perch.  My chat with Tony only dipped a toe in an ocean of knowledge & experiences.  How fantastic for the Fraser Coast to have this knowledge within our very own region.  Listen To Tony share a bit about his seachange from London to Utopia (near the Mount Walsh National Park), in Queensland, Australia & discover how he has followed a childhood interest in birds to now travel the world recording rare & uncaptured audio moments for the national sound archives in Australia, UK & the USA.  To find out more about the Australian Wildlife Sound Recording Group[ click link here.

Episode 93 Bite The Blue - Breaking the cycle in bite sized pieces!

Jussy meets for the first time, Business Manager/Creator/Abuse Survivor, the beautiful and amazing Jessie Leigh McCarthy.

Jessie has recently launched right here in teh Fraser Coast, Bite the Blue.  A service to combat mental health issues as an early intervention.  Jessie shares openly and honestly some of her story which gives a clear understanding of her own experiences and how they have added to her journey so far, creating her now strong & confidence self, hoping to give back to the community to make the world a better place.

She has developed an eye catching brand, around her logo, looks like a nibbled donut or large lifesaver!  But the meaning behind this she shares and it all makes sense.  

Jessie thank you so much for sharing your personal story and the amazing contribution you are now making back to the Fraser Coast & beyond!
