It’s liberating and it’s a f*** you to societal conventions

Richard decided to tackle his body issues by embracing nudism. He is now a self-identified flag waving nudist who is helping me connect with my own body by doing the same, even though I strongly identify as a ‘Never-Nude’.

Even the nicest clothes don't feel as good as being naked”.

Kellie is a Central Arrernte woman who has dedicated the last 14 years of her life learning about her history, culture and connection to country.

She is now on the other side of returning to country to heal in the context of the stolen generation.

It's a huge honour that comes with a lot of pride to be a part of the oldest living culture in the world”.

Have you ever heard of Pickleball?

I hadn’t until I met Andrew, but Pickleball might be the fastest growing sport in the world.

Andrew is the Chairperson of Pickleball South Australia, and he is on a mission to make this new sport inclusive and welcoming to all, regardless of their background, ability or identity.

Meanwhile, I am on a mission to find out if I can turn sporty.

“I think there's no question that sport has a massive role in shaping public opinion on a whole series of topics and I guess you can ask the question, is it sports responsibility to do those things?”

And there are these people that have so little and want to stop and ask how your day is and make sure you're doing okay and that's changed my view of the world”.

Lindsay has given up every Saturday for years working in a hot kitchen in Brisbane, preparing hundreds of hot and hearty meals to take to those who need it.

Through Lindsay and the other volunteers at Dig In, I got to experience the joy of giving.
