I met Mark at his art studio in Derby, Western Australia

We sat by his giant Boab tree chatting and listening to the birds.

Such a nice, unexpected place in Derby.

Mark is a renowned artist and former art teacher who has lived in Derby, the Kimberley region of Western Australia since 1981. Mark's artworks have been exhibited widely around Australia, and overseas, and has won over 50 Awards.

I met Rita early one morning in the dark as she was banging on my car window, I thought she was a crazy woman.

Within an hour I started to think she just might be one of the funniest women I've ever met!

I met Steve through my sister Lisa (podcast #41) who is working with him.

He is a an Australian country rock singer-songwriter whose life has recently taken some unexpected twists and turns.

Like the time he died!

I've never met Ian but I look forward to the day we do.

He is such a nice, genuine man who is very generous with his time who just cares about people being healthy.

He is in his 70's and on a mission for a healthy World.

I met Danny years ago when we were flying the Adelaide rescue helicopter.

He was possibly the only helicopter rescue crewman in the world who is completely deaf ( podcast #5)

Unfortunately for Danny things have recently changed in the world.

A recently discovered letter, written in 1978 prompted this lovely conversation with Julie Anthony, the iconic Australian singer. She met my dad during a film shoot for South Australian Tourism at Wilpena Pound.

He was the helicopter pilot on that shoot.

This story isn't just about a film shoot; it's about how fleeting encounters can have lasting impacts.

Brett and I are both instructors for RHO Aviation's, a company that teaches aircrew and passengers how to escape from an aircraft that may have ditched at sea.

We met while flying the ambulance helicopter in Adelaide.

Years before he was the Flight Air-crewman aboard a naval Wessex 31B Helicopter when it encountered an engine failure and had to execute a controlled ditching off the coast of Malaysia.
