11/03/24 • 44 min
Toni had the pleasure of going on a journey with Carney Ganley who was born in the desert country, at Woomera, the rocket launching capital of Australia.
In part one we will hear his story and adventures, of signing up to a course at the Katherine Rural College after his father heard a story about it on the radio to becoming a 'ringer'.
He has worked on cattle stations and helped his parents run a remote road house in Central Australia. He loved the life of a tour guide, spending a couple of years going to ‘The Rock’ - Uluru - and many other spectacular places through out Central Australia, Kakadu National Park and across the Kimberly to Broome.
He celebrated his 25th birthday on the edge of Ngorongoro Crater, looking across the African Serengeti in Tanzania where he went for three months and stayed for twelve.
A great story-teller, Carney takes us across remote northern Australia, Africa, Europe, and India before finally settling back in Alice Springs and taking a life changing turn in his career.

Kim McLachlan Part Two
In Kim's second episode, Kim delves into the steep learning curve of having a neurodivergent and epileptic son. She juggles motherhood, work and volunteering - we are yet to determine how she slept!
Part of Kim's written response was something we loved so much as it summed up what we all think of the NT:
"It's the cool dry season mornings with the smell of fresh bushfire smoke early in the fire season... It's the raucous calls of a Blue Winged kookaburra competing with the bugle at the Anzac Day dawn service... It's the lime green foliage in the ironwoods in September, the pink blaze of the Turkey Bush flowers during camping season..."
Sit back, turn it up, and listen to the 2nd part of the story that is Kim McLachlan!

Carney Ganley Part Two
Carney wholly represents the saying 'a life well lived’ and there is still a lot more to come.
We pick up from Carney's early beginnings as a Northern Territory Police Officer in Alice Springs - which he was not enjoying so much. A chance position opening at the outback Police Station in the remote Aboriginal Community of Kintore changed all that for Carney. Over 20 years in remote policing takes it's toll on the mind and body, and Carney does not wrap any of the truth in bubble wrap for you.
Kick back and listen to the fabulous storyteller that is Carney Ganley in part two of his story.
**Sadly, since recording this, Carney’s father passed away. We are all sending our deepest condolences to you, Carney, and family.
