    REAL BIRCHY ~ BARRA KING, SAM BIRCH #48

    The EP Scotty yarns with the “Barra King” Sam Birch about his journey. He’s known these days for his fishing, hunting and tag along tours on Oombulgurri and Home Valley Station, one of the worlds most revered ‘on country’ cultural safaris locations. But first, Sam yarns about his life of drugs, crime, jail and hopelessness and how he managed to get his head back above water. It’s a tough pill to swallow and he’s been there, done that and is now living his best life surrounded by family, friends, guests, fans and the wider Kimberley community. We trust you’ll enjoy. Cheers Hosts Instagram @kimberleyspirit, website www.kimberleyspirit.com. Guest Sam Birchs website www.birchysfishingtours.com.au and @birchysfishingtours on Facebook and Instagram. (APOLOGIES for the wind in the microphone for the first of couple minutes. Doing these podcasts out in the bush isn’t always easy. Persevere through, it’s worth it!) thank you

    KIMBERLEY HIKING ~ MELISSAH ADAMS EP #45

    What’s the best way to see the Kimberley? If you have time it’s by foot. There’s absolutely no doubt about that. This week Scotty yarns with intrepid hiker and explorer Melissah Adams. She’s seen more back country than most and is a passionate adventurer who loves nothing more than spending a few weeks at a time walking, climbing, swimming and at times crawling through narrow gorges, up giant ranges and across vast valleys to see what’s on the other side and to feel what it was like pre European contact. We trust you’ll enjoy! Cheers Hosts Instagram @kimberleyspirit, website www.kimberleyspirit.com.
