He was a skydiver and was offered a job of putting the roof on the factory, which he did to raise money for his skydiving. Back then in the 1970s, Dandenong was believed to be the only self-sufficient town in Australia. He also recalled the first pilot that worked on the Pakenham Skydiving club. He was a chap by the name of Sess Long and he went onto be the very first pilot of Reg Ansett&#8217;s airline. He also told the story of why he was moving to Condinon in WA, he had been looking to move somewhere with a good community spirit and he heard that in Condinon, a few months ago, the town swimming pool&#8217;s roof caught fire, the local residents took the roof down, repaired it and put it back on so the locals could swim in the afternoon of the same day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>More about Ansett&#8217;s history:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n7LCbsywiis?si=hJ572z-ra2cN6Hs8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Libby from Mount Dandenong in Melbourne rang in to say the area is very dry, fires are occurring and there is very little rain falling.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peter from Manly in Brisbane rang in to talk about the passing of Peter O&#8217;Reilly AM, who ran Green Mountains, O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s Guesthouse and Lamington. Recognised for his work in tourism and conservation. Peter met him in around 1975. In 1977 he launched the first O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s bird week, it is still going 48 years later. The caller had established a rainforest in his half acre, 142 different species of trees planted to attract a range of birds, though he feels birds are disappearing even from his rainforest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vm93gmtpipU?si=J8cCvpzvIHz_Xjrw\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Phil wrote in to point out that the word &#8220;posh&#8221; originated from wealthy english people coming back from their travels to India and speaking with a different accent on their return, Port Out Starboard Home produced the acronym.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Macca talked about Heard Island, and a film called The Great White Whale. The Island is very isolated. Michael Dillon, the film producer came into the studio for a chat.  Big Ben on Heard Island was Australia&#8217;s highest mountain and was bequeathed to Australia in 1947. It&#8217;s very hard to get to, hence people don&#8217;t know about it or climb it. He said going back 120 years, a young 13-year-old boy got inspired by the view from climbing the Knobelist Hill in Orange. His name was George Finch and he became the World&#8217;s Best Mountaineer. His son Peter Finch became a well known actor. He was chosen to be amongst the team of the first attempt to climb Mount Everest in 1922, as a research scientist. He got higher than any other member of the expedition and would probably have reached the summit if the rest of his team hadn&#8217;t suffered so badly from exhaustion. He held the height record for many years but also pioneered an oxygen system that would be the same system used decades later when Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tensing climbed Everest. He also told the story that, in 1984, a group of five Aussies climbed Everest without Oxygen, a new record. Tim McCartney-Snape and Greg Mortimer were the two that reached the top. In 1990 Michael filmed Tim McCartney-Snape starting the Everest climb at sea level in the Bay of Bengal Surf, crossing India and swimming across the Ganges, and climbing to the summit, making a documentary about it. Michael told stories about Sir Edmund Hillary, who he got to know very well. He told a story of Chris Dewhurst who used a hot air balloon to go above Everest for the first time. Michael&#8217;s documentary-making career had been inspired by Albie Mangels and the Leyland Brothers who would hire town halls and other venues to showcase their movies. He runs a similar model including a Q and A. He funded this movie himself. He&#8217;s running the movie at a range of venues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>More about Heard Island:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wPXHl9ztWoI?si=6PEpx-Xb-YbJDD4-\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>More about The Great White Whale Movie:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TzvjFg38V9o?si=0gzhBQWc8hNRBSDn\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VD7aUX3ofJo?si=Dq4yIAWbzFp7PaDG\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1984 expedition without Oxygen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FWEAlpine%2Fvideos%2F2465098157078299%2F%3Fref%3Dembed_video&#038;show_text=0&#038;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Claire wrote in about a group of dads at Somerset College who have a Whatsapp group that keeps in touch about issues in their community. After Cyclone Alfred, they rallied together to clear trees, provide food and water, generators and hired an excavator so a family could get out of their driveway and allow access for Energex. This help extended beyond the Somerset Community. A homeowner on Strawberry Road in Mudgereeba had two trees fall on the property. The Somerset dads cleared the trees.<br> <br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Macca replayed a 97-year-old gentleman talking about the great danger that the saddlery trade was encountering here in Australia with cheap Indian imports taking over the market. He was a life member of the Saddlemakers Association of Australia and he said there were no apprentices coming into the industry so they were applying for a grant to train apprentices.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pam Cupper (wrote a book 40 years ago with Phil Taylor called &#8220;Gallipoli-A Battlefield Guide) called in from Canakkale, the city closest to the Gallipoli battlefields. She related Turkey is largely first world rather than the third world she recalls 40 years ago. She recalls when Australians and New Zealanders would be seen wandering around regularly in the area but no longer. She also demonstrated the strength of customer service over there compared to here. There were some fires last year that burnt areas around the Commonwealth War Graves, not the graves themselves though. She got to know two generations of gardeners employed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. She noted that erosion at the edge of Anzac Cove and Brighton Beach had required retaining walls to be built, rising seas have also damaged V Beach at Cape Helles. About a third of the cemetery had been flooded after the ocean washed over the retaining walls. She thinks erosion will cause the cemetary to disappear within this century. Beach Cemetery, where Simpson is buried, has suffered a lot of erosion already. The 1915 piers are no longer visible. The erosion she put down to rising sea levels, and the development of the road and parking, which cut into the hill. Cape Helles has become an eyesore with erosion and rubbish laying around. Visitor numbers have declined a lot since 2015, when they used to get 20,000 visitors, now it&#8217;s a only a dribble of people throughout the year. A local tour operator used to take battlefield tours everyday of the year and six or more a day in April, but now very rarely gets any interest. The local tourist office in 1980 was focused on Gallipoli but now has no profile of it. She was a massive fan of the local tomatoes. The locals say they are the best in the world.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qVcIje4im00?si=TbMJPX6u2vDO0L6K\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tUVaoOJS2RE?si=dIn7S82UQcz3CppZ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mark Campbell rang in from Manly the NSW Lifesaving Titles were happening, North Steyne and Queenscliff were two of the other venues.

His daughter had recently spent 2 years teaching on Palm Island off Townsville. Her experience was great, she taught grades 1 and 2. He said there were around 17 aboriginal tribes on the Island, after they were all moved there in 1918 after a cyclone. He was also in the process of reinstating a roadhouse at Cullamulla.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Danielle in Griffith talked about attending the National Donkey Championships in Young the previous week. She related many different breeds and sizes, the large Mammoth Donkeys were used in the war, she related that they are perceived to be very intelligent. The Young Pony Club hosted the event, the volunteers were exceptional and the event was great. Macca related there are a huge number of feral donkeys in the deserts of Australia, perhaps 100,000.
