Speaker 1 (00:00):
iHeart Spencer Golf coming up.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
A local author has just released another novel set in
the Flinders Hi. I'm Jackie Limb with iHeart Spencer Golf,
your weekly local news wrap for the Spencer, Golf 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 Plibusx endorsement just last week. Sam Talbot spoke
(00:27):
to Amy Featherstone, communications and Engagement manager at Southern Launch.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It's been a long process working but through both the
state and federal government approval process. But we're really excited
to bring space to the air Peninsula.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
And what's going to happen now? So walk me through
the next steps. How are we building it, etc.
Speaker 3 (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 these conditions in detail, understand
what our obligations are, and then implement the strategies to
make sure we meet them.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
And what about the actual build and developing of the
site now that it's fully approved.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah, 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 4 (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 3 (01:34):
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 with a rubbish that's out there, implement feral
(01:54):
animal eradication plans, and then working with local environmental experts
on the air Peninsula understand how we can enhance local
biodiversity for the native flora and fauna.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
And do you have a date for the first rocket launch?
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Look?
Speaker 3 (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 4 (02:22):
And from there, how many will you be launching?
Speaker 3 (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
(02:47):
from ESA.
Speaker 4 (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 3 (02:58):
Yeah, I'm using local suppliers from the Air Pincture is
a big focus about 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 2 (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 me are 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 3 (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. He's
not the main character, but he's certainly in the book
up to his elbows, right.
Speaker 2 (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 2 (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 on.
(04:45):
Once you've answered all of them, then hopefully you should.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Have a novel, right, yeah, so kind of like the
show Castle. Then you do a bit of a ride along.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
I've actually never seen Carton.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
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 good, it's good fun. And I like doing
a lot of resesearch. 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
(05:25):
go into an IgA 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 2 (05:37):
Are there any stories that stand out? You know, it's
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 hire it in any particular way. So I
(06:10):
thought I could 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 can make it happen in the book. So
that's what I did.
Speaker 2 (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 a 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 2 (06:54):
And when does the book officially released or has it already?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Yeah, it released last Tuesday, so it should be. It
didn't have any trouble in finding it should be out
in the shelf, on the shelf.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Near you Lyheart Spencer Golf, My Heart Spencer Golf.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
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 Wylands in the coming weeks. I spoke
to Miss Stot Daspoyer about the visit earlier this week.
Speaker 7 (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
(07:53):
our community and that includes regional, rural and remote areas
of the state.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
So when exactly will you be coming to Portland?
Speaker 7 (08:00):
So 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 2 (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 location such as Port Lincoln to
others that you've heard.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
It's a good question because yes, there are some common stories.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
Across the board, but there's also.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
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 to community, and so it's really important,
you know, to recognize a one size fits or policy
(08:49):
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 proportionate rate of violence.
So we're talking to average intro straight Islander families and
particularly women, women with disabilities. And I'll also be talking
(09:10):
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 2 (09:23):
And following on from these listening sessions, what will be
happening next, what are the next steps.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
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. If you've had 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 to hone
(10:16):
in on the public hearings, which will be rather intense.
Speaker 2 (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 7 (10:26):
Absolutely, I think that's the best way to make sure
a majority of people have access to the hearings.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
It sounds like it's all going along pretty steadily, And yeah,
I 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.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Else, 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 2 (10:58):
And finally, today the Binsula 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 8 (11:20):
Yes, they don't know they're coming there just yet.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
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.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Best adventures and some really breathtaking activities to all be
part of our very special Legends Adventure All Stars episode.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
So yeah, this is the third go round of the
Legends version. I suppose this is people that have joined
in before.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Correct, So all of the people that start in our
Legends episodes have been part of previous Adventure 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
(12:12):
something extra special. And that's what we're really excited about
because the Ord 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 7 (12:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
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 8 (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 2 (12:54):
How did this a whole show come to be? Of
course it is a charity sort of thing as well
as being into and a very truist kind of heavy concept.
How did this all come about?
Speaker 8 (13:05):
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):
Adventural 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 to a 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 could be rewarded
(13:47):
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.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Win 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 8 (14:13):
Yes, I'm so glad 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 if you see us,
(14:36):
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
interuristy 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.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
We're feeling and when will this air and TV when
can we watch it?
Speaker 8 (14:58):
So it'll be around about 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 2 (15:15):

and surrounds.

(08:49):
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 proportionate rate of violence.
So we're talking to average intro straight Islander families and
particularly women, women with disabilities. And I'll also be talking
(09:10):
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 2 (09:23):
And following on from these listening sessions, what will be
happening next, what are the next steps.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
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. If you've had 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 to hone
(10:16):
in on the public hearings, which will be rather intense.
Speaker 2 (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 7 (10:26):
Absolutely, I think that's the best way to make sure
a majority of people have access to the hearings.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
It sounds like it's all going along pretty steadily, And yeah,
I 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.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Else, 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 2 (10:58):
And finally, today the Binsula 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 8 (11:20):
Yes, they don't know they're coming there just yet.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
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.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Best adventures and some really breathtaking activities to all be
part of our very special Legends Adventure All Stars episode.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
So yeah, this is the third go round of the
Legends version. I suppose this is people that have joined
in before.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Correct, So all of the people that start in our
Legends episodes have been part of previous Adventure 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
(12:12):
something extra special. And that's what we're really excited about
because the Ord 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 7 (12:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
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 8 (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 2 (12:54):
How did this a whole show come to be? Of
course it is a charity sort of thing as well
as being into and a very truist kind of heavy concept.
How did this all come about?
Speaker 8 (13:05):
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):
Adventural 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 to a 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 could be rewarded
(13:47):
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.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Win 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 8 (14:13):
Yes, I'm so glad 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 if you see us,
(14:36):
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
interuristy 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.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
We're feeling and when will this air and TV when
can we watch it?
Speaker 8 (14:58):
So it'll be around about 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 2 (15:15):
And that's your weekly news wrap across the Spencer, Golf
and surrounds.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
