I interview ABC journalist Erin Parke who spent years gaining the the trust of Robert Bogucki, whose edge-of-survival spiritual quest into the Australia outback sparked a international search effort and media frenzy. Travelling to Robert's cabin in the Alaska, Erin gets to the bottom of why this mysterious but well-considered bloke set off alone into the wilderness to find answers.

Listen to Expanse, Erin's six part ABC podcast series about Robert Bogucki.

NSW National Parks have proposed expensive (in my opinion) new fees across the majority of campgrounds, which will price many Australians out of camping. In this episode I speak to former NPWS ranger, Louise Anderson (Ranger Louie on Instagram) to get her thoughts on life as a ranger and the effect these fees will likely have if the NSW Labour Government allows them to go through. Please note, Louie is not a spokesperson for NPWS service. These are just her opinions.

Here's the ePetition I created to NSW State Parliament titled Keep Camping Affordable for All Australians In NSW National Parks. Please consider signing it.

Only NSW residents can sign. Non-NSW residents can still have there say by messaging the NSW Environment Minister directly here.

Eric Philips is one the worlds most experienced polar adventurers. His 30+ expeditions to the North and South Poles, icecap crossings of Greenland, Iceland and Patagonia, and a childhood love of space landed him an even more out-of-this-world adventure – a world-first, polar space flight orbiting the poles.

Facing suicidal thoughts and electro-shock therapy for severe depression, Bailey turned to adventure as a last ditch effort to manage severe mental illness. 5500km later, after walking the entire east-coast of Australia (along the beach!), she found not only an effective management strategy but a new direction in life.

Hamish survived a category 2 cyclone in a 4m boat off the coast of the Northern Territory. The hairy escape from the sea was one thing. The overnight self-rescue mission another. I’m familiar with his story because I was there too!

We unpack the ‘incident’ which scared the crap out of both of us and taught us valuable lessons.
