Episode #126
Send us Fan Mail In Part B, Kathryn Hines continues her fascinating insight into life as an RFDS flight nurse. We hear about 1am landings on dirt strips, flying huge distances across the outback, the incredible landscapes along the way, and doing whatever it takes to give a patient every chance. And it’s clear just how much Kathryn loves rural people, remote health and the job she does.
Episode #123
Send us Fan Mail What if the future of Australian meat processing wasn’t about building bigger abattoirs, but taking the abattoir to the cattle? That’s the idea behind Provenir , Australia’s first mobile abattoir — an innovative approach to processing cattle on-farm, with a focus on animal welfare, meat quality, traceability and regional agriculture. In this episode, I talk with Chris Balazs , one of the five people who believed there had to be a better way. Chris came to the project from a biopharmaceutical science background, bringing a very different perspective to the way we think about livestock, processing and food production. We hear how the team battled years of red tape, helped change legislation and eventually built Provenir from the ground up. But there’s also a very personal side to Chris’s story. He talks openly about the challenges of building a company while raising teenage daughters and dealing with the devastating loss of his wife. It’s a conversation about innovation, persistence and having the courage to challenge an industry and ask: is there a better way? And Chris doesn’t just want Provenir to succeed — he wants others to follow the same path and believes this model could help change the future of Australian agriculture. This is a fascinating story of thinking differently, sticking with an idea and refusing to give up. Here’s Chris Balazs from Provenir.
Episode #121
Send us Fan Mail Alice Springs. Right in the heart of Australia. It’s a place built on resilience, hard work and people who know how to make things happen when conditions are anything but easy. In Part One of my conversation with Rick Chambers, we go back generations to an incredible family journey from Australia’s east coast to the Northern Territory border — travelling thousands of kilometres by horse and cart through some of the toughest country in Australia. Rick grew up in the Territory, where life revolved around hard work, road camps, caravans and one subject that always dominates conversation in the outback — water. From starting out as a chainman surveying roads to meeting a mentor who encouraged him to learn, take opportunities and never shy away from hard work, Rick’s story is deeply connected to the people and places that shaped him. This is Part One of the story of Rick Chambers.
Episode #120
Send us Fan Mail What happens when you leave behind city life and take a chance on the country? In this episode, Darren sits down with Kelly Glass from Jayfields Nursery, one of Australia's largest wholesale native plant nurseries, to hear the remarkable story behind a business that now grows more than 6.7 million seedlings each year. Kelly shares how she and her husband Tim searched for a new life before settling near Wagga Wagga, where they built a thriving nursery supplying native plants for revegetation, conservation and large-scale environmental projects across Australia. Along the way, we explore the importance of native species, the technology that allows millions of seeds to be planted with incredible precision, and the passion required to grow a business from the ground up. And just when you think you know Kelly's story, she reveals a surprising chapter from her past—as one of the world's top-ranked ballroom dancers. It's a conversation about courage, resilience, family, and the opportunities that can grow from taking a leap of faith.
Episode #119
Send us Fan Mail Award-winning journalist and television presenter Lisa Millar returns to Salt of the Earth for a special conversation about one of Australia's most-loved television programs – ABC's Back Roads . For years, Lisa and the Back Roads team have travelled to some of the most remote and remarkable communities in the country, uncovering stories of resilience, humour, kindness and the people who make regional Australia so special. In this episode, Lisa shares what happens when the cameras arrive in town, how the crew earns the trust of complete strangers, and why country Australians continue to open their homes, hearts and lives to millions of viewers. We also explore why Back Roads continues to resonate with Australians, the unique bond between people and the places they call home, and how Muster Dogs became one of the country's most-loved television series. Along the way, there's plenty of laughter, a few behind-the-scenes stories, and even a moment where I get to hold the Logie won by Lisa and the Muster Dogs team. If you love rural Australia, great storytelling and the people who make this country tick, you're going to love this conversation.
