This week, we explore stories from the coastline.
The Beach That Grew:
Have you ever been to your favourite beach and noticed that a rockface, or a dune, looks different? This story explains how erosion isn’t just about loss, but about shifts and transformation, and how this change makes a beach into a resilient landscape that sustains itself. Produced by Joanna Beard, & Supervising Producer was Craig Garrett. Special thanks to Tito Ambyo, one of Joanna’s lecturers at RMIT, who helped shape the story focus for this piece early on.
Trepang:
Bridget Chappell interviews Yolngu cultural leader Timmy Burarrwanga of Yirrkala about his community’s connection to Makassan sailors from Sulawesi, Indonesia, through the sea cucumber (trepung) trade that began in the early 1700s. Produced by Bridget Chappell alongside Supervising Producer Mell Chun.
