    S3 Ep9: VILLAGES Goodooga
    2024/11/18
    In this Episode we hear interviews from people in Goodooga NSW. Located in northwestern New South Wales, Australia on the Queensland border Goodooga is a remote town on the Bokhara River. A population of just over 200 people, Goodooga is home to a strong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community who make up a significant portion of the population. The Goodooga Tin Camp and Cemeteries are very important to the Yuwaalaraay/Urallaroi, Murrawarri, and other Aboriginal people.
    One of Goodooga's most unique attractions is the Great Artesian Bore Baths. This natural wonder, fed by mineral-rich waters from deep beneath the earth's surface, offers a relaxing and therapeutic experience.

    Episode Features:

    Dr. Mary Anne Jebb helps us learn more about the history of Goodooga.


    Tommy Stanton, a lifelong Goodooga resident, recalls a vibrant past. Back then, outdoor adventures and Sunday School buggy rides were highlights. Today, he works at the local school and council, striving to improve the community. The once-thriving river, a vital lifeline, has sadly seen better days.


    Drawn by its beauty and the strong connection to his previous teaching experience in nearby Brewarrina, Colin Rogers is a teacher at the Central School. He originally planned to retire, but after spending a year in Goodooga, he's fallen in love with the place and has stayed on!


    Warren Mason, shares a poignant and honest story about his grandfather who signed the Aboriginal Exemption. This little-known policy impacted many Aboriginal communities and families. Warren's work at the Tin Camp Studio reflects his commitment to healing and cultural expression. This creative space provides a safe haven for sharing stories, songs, and music, promoting healing through the power of sound and vibration.


    Karen Lane, an Aboriginal teacher, is passionate about education, opportunities and the importance of preserving cultural heritage. She highlights the significance & value of the river and cultural practice to her community.


    Lucy Howard-Shibuya, a language teacher, shares her experiences working with Aboriginal communities to create rich learning experiences. She emphasises the importance of incorporating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into education and to encourage “immersion” and “exchange”.

    S3 Ep8: VILLAGES Carinda Part 2
    2024/11/18
    In this Episode we hear interviews from people in Carinda NSW, Weilwan Country. This episode features stories, memories and reflections about Carinda.
    Located in the heart of New South Wales, Australia, Carinda is a small remote town on the edge of the stunning Macquarie Marshes, one of Australia's largest inland wetlands, Carinda offers breathtaking natural and diverse beauty.

    This episode of Outback Outloud dives into the heart of Carinda, unearthing its vibrant past and the resilience of its community. The iconic Carinda Hotel, immortalised in David Bowie's "Let's Dance" music video, stands as a testament to the town's unique history. While the bustling days of a bygone cinema may be gone, Carinda retains its warmth and character. The Far West Store, Town Hall, pub, and petrol station continue to serve the friendly locals.

    The annual "Let's Dance Carinda Festival" celebrates its connection to Bowie and brings together locals and visitors in a joyous celebration. The long-standing Carinda and District Race Club also adds to the town's vibrant spirit with its annual Picnic Races.

    The episode features interviews with other Carinda residents, each painting a vibrant picture of life in this unique town.


    Episode Features:


    Carinda's iconic Carinda Hotel holds a special place in music history. In 1983, David Bowie filmed his legendary music video "Let's Dance" within its walls. This event not only put Carinda on the map but also left an indelible mark on a young local named Jude Masman. A Bowie superfan, Jude's encounter with the rockstar became a cherished memory.


    Beyond the rock and roll connection, Carinda thrives on its agricultural heritage. We hear from Boof, a seasoned shearer, who offers a glimpse into the demanding yet rewarding world of shearing.


    Drought, however, has impacted the region, a story shared by Rob, a local who recently returned to Carinda. Rob also shares some stories about community events and a few spooky tales from the area.


    Simone Donai reminisces about her childhood spent attending the local cinema (now closed), while Dave and Mick share their love for the region and their youthful adventures.


    Ian Webber, a long-time resident on his family's property, reflects on his farming experiences.

    S3 Ep6: VILLAGES Nevertire
    2024/11/18
    In this episode we hear interviews from people in Nevertire NSW 0n Ngiyampaa / Wangaaypuwan & Weilwan country.

    Nevertire is a small country town in New South Wales, Australia. It's fairly remote, sitting right where the Mitchell and Oxley Highways meet. You'll find it about 496 kilometres northwest of Sydney, closer to Narromine, Nyngan and Dubbo. If you're coming from Warren, it's about 15-minutes southwest.

    The town started growing when the railway from Dubbo to Nevertire was built in the early days. Later, they extended the railway to Warren. This made it a good place for storing and shipping grain, and remains so today.


    The passenger train station doesn’t run anymore, but you can still see grain freight trains going through.

    Episode Features:

    First up Nevertire history from Dr Mary Anne Jebb including some funny stories about locals.

    Gwen Hazel reflects about her life and wonderful experiences in Nevertire. She really has a magnificent perspective as her family was one of the first to arrive and work on the railway during the great depression. This Interview with long-time resident Gwen is special.

    Barbara and Michael Hancock speak about how they met in Woomera restricted area.
    After World War II, Australia and the United Kingdom joined forces to create a new project for testing weapons. They chose remote area Woomera. Barbara and Michael lived there for many years, with such a unique experience and life before eventually coming to the region, settling in Nevertire.

    Pauline Serdity shares about coming to Nevertire, the rewards of life in the outback and also discusses the importance of being an active part of her community. Pauline has been a community leader in Nevertire and the Warren Shire for over 22 years. She’s passionate about the arts, health, and the local library. Pauline has worked hard to make sure everyone in Nevertire has access to social activities, health care and a voice for their town!

    We’re joined by Maria and Sid Kinsey, who take us on a journey through their experience of bee keeping and tree robbing! What’s all this you ask? Well in this reflective conversation, they share stories and lessons learned from keeping bees in the local area. Dive into this sweet world and see what unfolds…

    Laurie talks about his work and fills us in on the crazy mouse plague stories that happened in Nevertire! Apparently, it was so bad that there were literally thousands of mice everywhere.
