Episode 12: Oh Yeppoon, oh how I love thee

Episode 11: Doesn’t your husband get bored?
In this episode, I sit down with my husband, Mat, to answer the most common question I get about him: isn’t he bored? We retired him earlier this year and he’s only 38, so people are curious about his lifestyle – what on earth does he do and how does he spend his days?
Episode 10: The realities and frustrations of van life

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country upon which I live, work, and play - the Gimuy, Walubarra, Yidinji, and Yirrganydji people. I recognise your unshakable connection to Cairns, the tablelands, the rainforest and the reef in this incredibly beautiful part of the world. I pay my respects to Elders across time; your leadership is inspiring. I am grateful for your ongoing custodianship, and I recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. I am committed to listening to and learning from the Aboriginal community and being an active ally. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
