Central Australia is part of the country that I think we could benefit from a much closer understanding. Its future will say a lot about the type of country that Australians call home in 2031.
Central Australia in 2031
Australia and Southeast Asia in 2031
In my conversation with Ben Bland, Director of the Lowy Institute's Southeast Asia Project, we look at how Australia is positioning itself in Southeast Asia, what this means in terms of foreign relations and the big question for this episode: how will Australia engage with South East Asia in 2031? Have a listen!
Caring for the environment in 2031
On this edition of Imagining Australia, I spoke with three individuals who have made it their life’s work to push for changes in how Australia interacts with the environment. All of my guests tap into themes of love, responsibility and political change to find a level of hopefulness about what sort of shift is possible. Have a listen.
A thriving economy in 2031
I make the case that in 2031 a thriving economy is one where the well-being of the community is at the heart of planning and decision making.
The face of Australia in 2031
While many inconsistencies remain, there is hope that a more diverse face of Australia will eventually put to rest ambivalence and misdirection in Canberra.
Imagining in Melbourne
After returning from life on the road, I spent some time thinking about ‘what’ as opposed to ‘where’ I would like to explore.
The final stretch
Being in the right part, of the right country, at the right time has opened the door for so much exploration.
Lucy Graham and Tropical North Queensland
In this edition of re:location, I talked with Lucy Graham, Cairns and Far North Environment Centre (CAFNEC) Director about Tropical North Queensland's incredible environment. We chatted about her work with CAFNEC, the incredible nature that you will find in this part of the world and the community's strong history of activism in pushing for environmental protection.
Down the East Coast
Drawn to the water, I sat myself on one of the sandstones that formed over thousands of years. Gazing over the beach, I was swept away with the enormity of the coastline. With the view framed by Tin Pan Bay and Double Island Point, all the senses came to life.
Karumba
This edition of re:location is about life in Karumba. This is a town with a real sense of ease and calm, and where nature rules. Nestled in the south east pocket of the Gulf of Carpentaria, I talk with a few of Karumba's 500 locals about what makes town tick, barramundi and life alongside crocodiles.
