    2026/08/10

    Send us Fan Mail

    "Disclaimer: Please be advised, there will be discussion on suicide; it will be brief, but please take care when listening.

    This is a rehash of an episode we did in season 1. All about mental health and why it's important as tradies. As sole traders, to establish that sometimes, everything gets a bit too hard. And it's ok. It's ok to have your low moments. In truth, I have been struggling a bit too much of late. So in order to get something out for you this month, I am being pragmatic and practical. Life tends to keep going even if you are struggling. But to those who are feeling a bit low, or are just not themselves, I see you, and I feel ya!

    Hello, my dear leaflets,

    Annie Richards was the first white woman to reside in Fowler Bay and lived through the harsh conditions of that area. She collected flowers for Mueller and Tate. She was instrumental in the collating of some of the amazing plant specimens in the collection housed at the National Australian Herbarium.

    Plants synonymous to Annie and Thomas:

    Eucalyptus youngiana F.Muell (1876) as 'Richardson',

    Erysimum richardsii F.Muell. (1877),

    Parmelia hypoxantha Müll.Arg. (1881),

    Parmelia conspersa var. polyphylloides Müll.Arg. (1883),

    Puccinia wurmbeae Cooke & Massee (1888),

    Helipterum troedelii F.Muell. (1890), as 'Mrs Richards',

    Helipterum jessenii F.Muell. (1890),

    Bassia longicuspis F.Muell. (1891), as 'Mrs Richards', and

    Nicotiana goodspeedii H.-M.Wheeler (1935), as 'Richards'.
