Speaker 1 (00:02):
Coming up. A local author has just released another novel
set in the Flinders Hi. I'm Jackie Loom with iHeart
Air Peninsula, your weekly local news wrap for the Air
Peninsula and surrounds. But first, Southern Launch has received the
green light from the state government, with planning approval now
in place for Whaler's Way. It comes on the heels
of Federal Environment Minister Tanya plibus ex endorsement just last week.
(00:26):
Sam Talbot spoke to Amy Featherstone, communications and Engagement manager
at Southern Launch.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It's been a long process working but through both the
state and federal government approval process that we're really excited
to bring space to the air Peninsula.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
And what's going to happen now, So walk me through
the next steps. How are we building it, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, So both the state and federal governments have outlined
a number of conditions that we have to meet through
the development and construction of the project and then also
when we're operating it. So our next steps will be
to go through all of those conditions in detail, understand
what our obligations are and then implement the strategies to
make sure we meet them.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
And what about the actual build and developing of the
site now that it's fully approved.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, so we're going to work on some detailed plans.
We have an infrastructure manager on staff, so she'll start
to work through what the launch pads will look like
and what we need to help our customers reach space.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And on the other side of that, we'll be partly
securing and like sort of protecting the bush land in
the surrounding area.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, that's one thing we're incredibly excited to get started
on and we're allowed to do that straight away, is
that we will be implementing the first environmental management strategy
for that piece of land. So one of the first
jobs on our list is to start working to clear
up the decades worth of rubbish that's out there, implement
feral animal eradication plans, and then working with local environmental
(01:57):
experts on the air Peninsula to understand how we can
enhance local biodiversity for the native flora and fauna.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
And do you have a date for the first rocket launch?
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Look?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Space is always hard to predict, but we are definitely
aiming to do a launch before the end of twenty
twenty five. We've got a number of global customers ready
to come down under a launch and we're hoping that
we can have everything ready for them by the end
of next year.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
And from there, how many will you be launching?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
The approvals encompass up to forty two launches a year,
but that's a long way off. So launch sites around
the world are only launching, you know, in America, I
think they've done sixty this year from Cape Canaveral, which
is a well established launch site. So we will be
aiming to slowly build up the number of launches from
the site over the coming years and help reach space
(02:46):
from ESA.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
And just back on the construction side of things, will
you be putting out any tenders for locals needing work
from them that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, I'm using local suppliers from the air Pincure is
a big focus of ours and something that we've definitely
embraced with all past mission campaigns from the EP. So
in the new year, we'll be looking to hold sessions
across the Air Peninsular and disgusted businesses how they can
assist us to build the space for and then what
sort of opportunities will be available when it's an ongoing operation.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Our local author has just released her twenty fourth book,
Out in Nowhere. Fler MacDonald, who grew up in Auroru
and spent much of her childhood around the Flinders Rangers,
says her deep connection to the region inspired the story.
The crime mystery, set in the heart of the Flinders,
follows Detective Dave Burrows and Constable mere Worth as they
investigate the deaths of two men in the remote outback.
(03:44):
She joins us, Now, a massive congratulations on your latest release, flir.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Yes, it's out in Nowhere. It's set in the Flinders Rangers,
which is where I like to set most of my books,
and it features my much love detective Dave Burrows. So
he's not the main character, but he's certainly in the
book up to his elbows, right.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So this is a bit of a sequel.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Then Dave has been in twenty two of my twenty
four novels, so yeah, he's a consistent character.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, definitely, so twenty four novels. Now, where do you
get the motivation, where do you get the new ideas from?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Well, it's my full time job and I write two
books a year, so I spend a lot of time,
so that listening to the radio and on the road,
and I've got a very good detective friend, so we
spend also a lot of time talking, so that's sort
of I can get ideas from anywhere really, you know,
just just something that picks my interest, and then you
start asking what is questions and what if questions. Once
(04:45):
you've answered all of them, then hopefully you should have
a novel.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Right, Yeah, so kind of like the show Castle. Then
you do a bit of a ride along.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I've actually never seen Castle.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No, well, my reference is lost on you then, but
he has no Going around with a detective and finding
out some of the cool stories sounds like a pretty
interesting way to spend your day.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Yeah, No, it's good fun and I like doing a
lot of research. So again, on the road, just sort
of visiting places, and everything that I've written about have
I've always visited because you can't get the atmosphere unless
you visit, so you can't know if the fliers are
going to cluster around your eyes or what the atmosphere
is like people talking to each other unless you go
(05:25):
into an ida or a post office or something. So
every place I've written about I've seen too. And obviously
growing up in the Flinders rangers in Auru. That's a
I've got lots of childhood memories from all of that.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
There any stories that stand out, you know, something that
you've seen witnessed people around. Is there anything that you
kind of you've integrated into your books that was just
a real insane story.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Everything I see I can use. And my dad used
to be going back to quite a few books now,
but my dad used to be the treasurer for the
Carrot and Rodeo Committee. And I asked you one day
how he transferred the money around and he just told
me how he did it. And I thought that was
pretty out there the way that he did it, Like,
he didn't hide it in any particular way. So I
(06:09):
thought I did to last, So what happens if you
get carjacked? And he said, well, that's not going to happen.
This is, you know, out the back of beyond anyway.
I thought, well, that's okay, but that may may not
happen to him, but I could make it happen in
the book. So that's what I did.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And you've sold over eight hundred and fifty thousand books.
That is an amazing milestone. Congratulations. When did that come about?
When did you kind of hit that mark or have
you gone well past that now?
Speaker 6 (06:35):
I think as well past that now. Actually, I reckon
I might be closer on the nine hundred thousand. I
think that was like that was last year. Yeah, I
write two books a year. You do tend to breakfast
sales up, which is really nice. I'm very lucky. I
have a very loyal readership and the readers feature very
strongly in my thoughts when I'm writing.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And when does the book officially released or has it already?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Yeah, it released last Tuesday. It should be. It didn't
have any trouble in finding it should be out in
the shelf, on the shelf near you.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
My herd Here Peninsula, My herd Here Peninsula. Port Lincoln
is due for a visit from the Domestic Violence Royal
Commissioner Natasha Stott de Spoyer next week, having previously visited
other towns in the region, including Port Puri and Port Agusta.
Lincoln is next on the agenda, followed by the ap
(07:26):
Wylands in the coming weeks. I spoke to Miss Stott
Daspoyer about the visit earlier this week.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Now I'm looking forward to it. It's an opportunity to
continue our listening phase of the Royal Commission, which involves
hearing from people a range of people, some with lived experience,
some involved in service provision, some in the domestic violence sector,
the police, legal services, you name it. So I'm very
keen to hear from a wide range of people in
(07:52):
our community, and that includes regional, rural and remote areas
of the state.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
So when exactly will you be coming to Port Lincoln.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I've got a couple of days there from Monday, which
is fantastic. I haven't been there for a year or
so and glad to get back.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You're coming to Port Lincoln as part of Yeah, as
you said, the regional listening sessions and talking with all
of these agencies, and yeah, you have visited other places
in the past. So are you imagining that there will
be similar stories from the location such as Port Lincoln
to others that you've heard.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
It's a good question, because yes, there are some common
stories across the board, but there's also you know, each
region is different, and you know, when we're talking about
services and you know, provision of support for people who
may be experiencing domestic family violence or have experienced sexual assault,
you know they vary from region to region, from community
(08:42):
to community, and so it's really important, you know, to
recognize a one size fits or policy is not always
the way to go. So that's why it's really important
to talk to communities. It's important to talk to people
on the ground, particularly those groups that may have a
higher rate or a disproportion rate of violence. So we're
talking to average into Strait Islander families and particularly women,
(09:07):
women with disabilities. And I'll also be talking to young
people because that's a really important part of understanding what
goes on in the education system and how we can
support young people who are often ignored or not listened
to in these kind of inquiries.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And following on from these listening sessions, what will be
happening next, what are the next steps.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Well, we've had a few months of these important listening
sessions and they've been as inclusive as we could possibly
make them. We've even had a summit with school children
last Friday in Adelaide. But we're now heading into the
public hearing stage of the commission, so we will be
narrowing in on particular themes for discussion and then of
course continuing to hear from individuals in the community through
(09:52):
our Share with Us survey tools. So if you're over
sixteen and you would like to do an anonymous survey
for the commission. So if you've had a experience lived
experience of domestic family or sexual violence, or you've known
someone or helped someone who has, then please I want
to hear from you. So listening continues, and there'll be
some more visits next year, but for now we'll start
(10:15):
to hone in on the public hearings, which will be
rather intense.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yes, yeah, I can imagine so. And if you can't
make it in person, they're going to be streamed on
the website.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Absolutely, I think that's the best way to make sure
a majority of people have access to the hearings.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It sounds like it's all going along pretty steadily, and yeah,
wish you all the best for the next steps and
for your time in Port Lincoln. Hopefully some inspiring stories
come out of it, if nothing else.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Thank you for that. And I'm always amazed by people's
resilience and bravery and strength when discussing many of these matters.
So I look forward to talking to the people of
Port Lincoln, and I hope we will get some meaningful
change as a consequence of the commission.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
And finally today the Yorg Bininja. It will be featured
on TV screens around the country and the weeks to
come with a new show set to start filming here
on Sunday. The region is hosting the special television event
Adventure All Stars Legends three from November ten to fifteen.
I spoke to host and producer Troy Gray, who says
the twelve cast members will arrive on the YP tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Yes, they don't know they're coming there just yet. We
keep the itinery secret, but we are flying everyone in
from more around Australia into Adelaide and then they'll be
bust to the York Pendicular and they'll spend a week
doing the very best adventures and some really breathtaking activities
to all be part of our very special Legends Adventur
(11:42):
All Stars episode.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
So yeah, this is the third go round of the
Legends version. I suppose this is people that have joined
in before, correct, So all.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Of the people that start in our Legends episodes have
been part of previous Adventur All Stars shows. And what
we do is we do some special television presentations where
we invite them back, they get to meet some of
the other casts from other shows, and they not only
get to know each other, but they get to relive
what they've done previously with us and do something extra special.
(12:13):
And that's what we're really excited about because the Old
Peninsular is just such an amazing location and we've never
filmed an entire episode there, so it's going to be
really special for them.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah. Yeah, So what sort of things will you be
getting up to while you're on the YP? Of course
taking in the scenery, as you said, but what activities
will we see?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Well, there's so much to do, that's the beauty of it.
There's fishing and boating and surfing, swimming, bushwalking, wildlife interactions.
We're doing so many things that we're cramming into the week,
and generally we film in the morning one activity and
then in the afternoon we film a second one and
basically start in the south of the YP and make
(12:51):
our way further north and capture the very best of
the whole area.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
How did this a whole show come to be? Of
course it is a charity sort of thing as well
as being entertaining and a very truist, kind of heavy
concept how did this all come about?
Speaker 5 (13:04):
So I came up with the concept where I wanted
to try and have entertainment support charitable causes and also
come up with a premise where people, if they're community
oriented or if they're philanthropic, and if they're supporting charity,
they get rewarded for doing so. So basically that's what
we've done is if you apply to be part of
(13:25):
Adventure All Stars, which anyone can do, you simply then
start fundraising for a charity that you're really passionate about
or if you aren't aligned or charity, We've got plenty
of great philanthropic causes across Australia. You raise money and
that is all pre filming. Then once you do that,
you then qualify. That's our casting process to be rewarded
(13:46):
by meeting eleven other people at a secret location, surrounding
you with our film crew and then capturing you undertaking
a life changing journey. So we basically marry up the
very best of charity with the best of entertainment and
by doing that, so many people win.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
And for locals who might you know see the film
crew and all of that. Is there a way to
kind of stop by and have a sticky beak or
is there a way that you can be in the
background of a shot? What's the deal there?
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Yes, So I'm so bad you brought that up, because
one of the great stuff about being a socially conscious
TV show, in fact where the world's only socially conscious
TV travel show, is we love to interact with as
many people as possible, in particular locals, so you won't
miss us because we'll be traveling around in a party
of about nineteen people and we're wearing green shirts and
(14:34):
if you see us, definitely come up and say hi.
If we can involve with you in filming, we'll do that.
But even when the cameras are down, you know, we
like to frequent pubs and restaurants and just you know,
go for walks in touristy spots where we might be
able to interact with other people. So we really can't
wait to meet anyone that's local or anyone passing through
the areas we're feeling and.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
When will this air and TV when can we watch it?
Speaker 5 (14:57):
So it'll be around about mid twenty twenty five. So
by the time these shows, a film that takes about
three months of post production and editing. So yeah, we'll
be looking to start showcasing and promoting this episode about
the first quarter in the lead up to about a
midyear screening.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And that's your weekly news wrap across the Air Peninsula
and surrounds. Don't forget. You can hear iHeart Air Peninsula
on the iHeart app or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Jackie Limb. Join us again next week for more local,
trusted and free news. iHeart Air Peninsula.
Coming up. A local author has just released another novel
set in the Flinders Hi. I'm Jackie Loom with iHeart
Air Peninsula, your weekly local news wrap for the Air
Peninsula and surrounds. But first, Southern Launch has received the
green light from the state government, with planning approval now
in place for Whaler's Way. It comes on the heels
of Federal Environment Minister Tanya plibus ex endorsement just last week.
(00:26):
Sam Talbot spoke to Amy Featherstone, communications and Engagement manager
at Southern Launch.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It's been a long process working but through both the
state and federal government approval process that we're really excited
to bring space to the air Peninsula.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
And what's going to happen now, So walk me through
the next steps. How are we building it, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, So both the state and federal governments have outlined
a number of conditions that we have to meet through
the development and construction of the project and then also
when we're operating it. So our next steps will be
to go through all of those conditions in detail, understand
what our obligations are and then implement the strategies to
make sure we meet them.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
And what about the actual build and developing of the
site now that it's fully approved.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, so we're going to work on some detailed plans.
We have an infrastructure manager on staff, so she'll start
to work through what the launch pads will look like
and what we need to help our customers reach space.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And on the other side of that, we'll be partly

the surrounding area.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, that's one thing we're incredibly excited to get started
on and we're allowed to do that straight away, is
that we will be implementing the first environmental management strategy
for that piece of land. So one of the first
jobs on our list is to start working to clear
up the decades worth of rubbish that's out there, implement
feral animal eradication plans, and then working with local environmental
(01:57):
experts on the air Peninsula to understand how we can
enhance local biodiversity for the native flora and fauna.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
And do you have a date for the first rocket launch?
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Look?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Space is always hard to predict, but we are definitely
aiming to do a launch before the end of twenty
twenty five. We've got a number of global customers ready
to come down under a launch and we're hoping that
we can have everything ready for them by the end
of next year.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
And from there, how many will you be launching?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
The approvals encompass up to forty two launches a year,
but that's a long way off. So launch sites around
the world are only launching, you know, in America, I
think they've done sixty this year from Cape Canaveral, which
is a well established launch site. So we will be
aiming to slowly build up the number of launches from
the site over the coming years and help reach space
(02:46):
from ESA.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
And just back on the construction side of things, will
you be putting out any tenders for locals needing work
from them that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, I'm using local suppliers from the air Pincure is
a big focus of ours and something that we've definitely
embraced with all past mission campaigns from the EP. So
in the new year, we'll be looking to hold sessions
across the Air Peninsular and disgusted businesses how they can
assist us to build the space for and then what
sort of opportunities will be available when it's an ongoing operation.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Our local author has just released her twenty fourth book,
Out in Nowhere. Fler MacDonald, who grew up in Auroru
and spent much of her childhood around the Flinders Rangers,
says her deep connection to the region inspired the story.
The crime mystery, set in the heart of the Flinders,
follows Detective Dave Burrows and Constable mere Worth as they

(03:44):
She joins us, Now, a massive congratulations on your latest release, flir.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Yes, it's out in Nowhere. It's set in the Flinders Rangers,
which is where I like to set most of my books,
and it features my much love detective Dave Burrows. So
he's not the main character, but he's certainly in the
book up to his elbows, right.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So this is a bit of a sequel.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Then Dave has been in twenty two of my twenty
four novels, so yeah, he's a consistent character.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, definitely, so twenty four novels. Now, where do you
get the motivation, where do you get the new ideas from?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Well, it's my full time job and I write two
books a year, so I spend a lot of time,
so that listening to the radio and on the road,
and I've got a very good detective friend, so we
spend also a lot of time talking, so that's sort
of I can get ideas from anywhere really, you know,
just just something that picks my interest, and then you
start asking what is questions and what if questions. Once
(04:45):
you've answered all of them, then hopefully you should have
a novel.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Right, Yeah, so kind of like the show Castle. Then
you do a bit of a ride along.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I've actually never seen Castle.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No, well, my reference is lost on you then, but
he has no Going around with a detective and finding
out some of the cool stories sounds like a pretty
interesting way to spend your day.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Yeah, No, it's good fun and I like doing a
lot of research. So again, on the road, just sort
of visiting places, and everything that I've written about have

happen to him, but I could make it happen in
the book. So that's what I did.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And you've sold over eight hundred and fifty thousand books.
That is an amazing milestone. Congratulations. When did that come about?
When did you kind of hit that mark or have
you gone well past that now?
Speaker 6 (06:35):
I think as well past that now. Actually, I reckon

Speaker 1 (07:57):
So when exactly will you be coming to Port Lincoln.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I've got a couple of days there from Monday, which
is fantastic. I haven't been there for a year or
so and glad to get back.
Speaker 1 (08:07):

support young people who are often ignored or not listened
to in these kind of inquiries.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And following on from these listening sessions, what will be
happening next, what are the next steps.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Well, we've had a few months of these important listening
sessions and they've been as inclusive as we could possibly
make them. We've even had a summit with school children
last Friday in Adelaide. But we're now heading into the
public hearing stage of the commission, so we will be
narrowing in on particular themes for discussion and then of
course continuing to hear from individuals in the community through
(09:52):
our Share with Us survey tools. So if you're over
sixteen and you would like to do an anonymous survey
for the commission. So if you've had a experience lived
experience of domestic family or sexual violence, or you've known
someone or helped someone who has, then please I want
to hear from you. So listening continues, and there'll be
some more visits next year, but for now we'll start
(10:15):
to hone in on the public hearings, which will be
rather intense.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yes, yeah, I can imagine so. And if you can't
make it in person, they're going to be streamed on
the website.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Absolutely, I think that's the best way to make sure
a majority of people have access to the hearings.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It sounds like it's all going along pretty steadily, and yeah,
wish you all the best for the next steps and
for your time in Port Lincoln. Hopefully some inspiring stories
come out of it, if nothing else.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Thank you for that. And I'm always amazed by people's
resilience and bravery and strength when discussing many of these matters.
So I look forward to talking to the people of
Port Lincoln, and I hope we will get some meaningful
change as a consequence of the commission.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
And finally today the Yorg Bininja. It will be featured
on TV screens around the country and the weeks to
come with a new show set to start filming here
on Sunday. The region is hosting the special television event
Adventure All Stars Legends three from November ten to fifteen.
I spoke to host and producer Troy Gray, who says
the twelve cast members will arrive on the YP tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Yes, they don't know they're coming there just yet. We
keep the itinery secret, but we are flying everyone in
from more around Australia into Adelaide and then they'll be
bust to the York Pendicular and they'll spend a week
doing the very best adventures and some really breathtaking activities
to all be part of our very special Legends Adventur
(11:42):
All Stars episode.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
So yeah, this is the third go round of the
Legends version. I suppose this is people that have joined
in before, correct, So all.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Of the people that start in our Legends episodes have
been part of previous Adventur All Stars shows. And what
we do is we do some special television presentations where
we invite them back, they get to meet some of
the other casts from other shows, and they not only
get to know each other, but they get to relive
what they've done previously with us and do something extra special.
(12:13):
And that's what we're really excited about because the Old
Peninsular is just such an amazing location and we've never
filmed an entire episode there, so it's going to be
really special for them.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah. Yeah, So what sort of things will you be
getting up to while you're on the YP? Of course
taking in the scenery, as you said, but what activities
will we see?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Well, there's so much to do, that's the beauty of it.
There's fishing and boating and surfing, swimming, bushwalking, wildlife interactions.
We're doing so many things that we're cramming into the week,
and generally we film in the morning one activity and
then in the afternoon we film a second one and
basically start in the south of the YP and make
(12:51):
our way further north and capture the very best of
the whole area.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
How did this a whole show come to be? Of
course it is a charity sort of thing as well
as being entertaining and a very truist, kind of heavy
concept how did this all come about?
Speaker 5 (13:04):
So I came up with the concept where I wanted
to try and have entertainment support charitable causes and also
come up with a premise where people, if they're community
oriented or if they're philanthropic, and if they're supporting charity,
they get rewarded for doing so. So basically that's what
we've done is if you apply to be part of
(13:25):
Adventure All Stars, which anyone can do, you simply then
start fundraising for a charity that you're really passionate about
or if you aren't aligned or charity, We've got plenty
of great philanthropic causes across Australia. You raise money and
that is all pre filming. Then once you do that,
you then qualify. That's our casting process to be rewarded
(13:46):
by meeting eleven other people at a secret location, surrounding
you with our film crew and then capturing you undertaking
a life changing journey. So we basically marry up the
very best of charity with the best of entertainment and
by doing that, so many people win.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
And for locals who might you know see the film
crew and all of that. Is there a way to
kind of stop by and have a sticky beak or
is there a way that you can be in the
background of a shot? What's the deal there?
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Yes, So I'm so bad you brought that up, because
one of the great stuff about being a socially conscious
TV show, in fact where the world's only socially conscious
TV travel show, is we love to interact with as
many people as possible, in particular locals, so you won't
miss us because we'll be traveling around in a party
of about nineteen people and we're wearing green shirts and
(14:34):
if you see us, definitely come up and say hi.
If we can involve with you in filming, we'll do that.
But even when the cameras are down, you know, we
like to frequent pubs and restaurants and just you know,
go for walks in touristy spots where we might be
able to interact with other people. So we really can't
wait to meet anyone that's local or anyone passing through
the areas we're feeling and.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
When will this air and TV when can we watch it?
Speaker 5 (14:57):
So it'll be around about mid twenty twenty five. So
by the time these shows, a film that takes about
three months of post production and editing. So yeah, we'll
be looking to start showcasing and promoting this episode about
the first quarter in the lead up to about a
midyear screening.
Speaker 1 (15:15):

and surrounds. Don't forget. You can hear iHeart Air Peninsula
