About this listen
We kick off Season 2 by going back, WAY back. From prehistoric swamps that became Gippsland’s coal seams, to Cloggs Cave and its 12,000-year-old stories, to the giant earthworms squelching under our feet, this episode digs into the ancient ground that shaped the Latrobe Valley. Along the way, we talk with botanist Ian Sluiter about coal’s ecological origins. Poet, environmental advocate and educator Electra Green about bugs, caring for the environment growing up in the bush, and invertebrate ecologist Dr. Beverley Van Praag about the secret lives of Gippsland’s Giant Earthworm.
It’s a journey through 4.5 billion years that sets the stage for coal’s 'golden age' and the transition still unfolding today.
Season two has been made possible by the support of Federation University, the Morwell Innovation Centre, our blood, sweat & tears and you our esteemed listeners. Show notes and sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1plBA5F7e07VVPzKkmAcSHE8uvc7OWolRrCe_9724ZoQ/edit?usp=sharing
