Mallacoota Rik is from Mallacoota - he is a serious jack of all trades, Diver, Plumber, Chippy, Captain, surfer, Relic hunter / Smuggler, tour guide, Rik is the quintessential Australian she'll be right mate have a crack loveable rogue. A dying breed as Australian society gets more and more gentrified by the minute.
Rik has lived more lives than most, he's got more far-flung adventures and experiences than one can jam in a podcast, there is a book in him I've no doubt. 
Super stoked to have had Coota in for storytime

BOZ PARSONS

Boz Parsons was born in 1918, a natural lover of people, places and things and being an adventurer quickly saw Boz to a life in the skies, a seemingly natural born aviator he fought in world war ii, this chat he talks through his experiences through the war to first meeting his wife Barbara. I only just re-found this audio file after losing it in a shift of multimedia platforms a few years ago  - I've re mastered and happy to re-release as we chatted about six years ago when Boz was 96, today Boz is 102 not out. I hope you enjoy my chat with Boz 

JOY CLARKE

Joy Clarke is a salt of the earth, kind hearted soul with a hell of a story, She was one of many that witnessed the Westall UFO encounter that happened on 6 April 1966 in Melbourne,It all happened around 11:00 am, for about 20 minutes, more than 200 students and teachers at two Victorian state schools and other businesses witnessed more than one UFO flying and landing in a bush area nearby known as the grange. Only to be silenced by military and men in black..... She took me to the Grange park and showed me where they landed and to her school to talk me through the day that is deeply burned into her mind and hundreds of other Melbournians on that Autumn day.
Thanks Joy 

SIMON MULVANY

This time I had the good fortune of chatting to Simon Mulvany, Simon has a website www.beethecure.com for Save the bees which he started to help relocate bees rather than people exterminate them - it's been a wild ride for Simon from relocation to seeing the Australian bee industry being robbed to a battle with a honey giant that tied him up for five years and went to the Supreme court, Simons life is like a movie script at times - Connected with nature and a strong sense of a higher order guiding him to make a difference for the better, this chat I really enjoyed
