    Comfort by Design

    Have you ever walked into a space and felt transformed?  In the Margaret River Region, it could be a grand restaurant with plenty of polish, or a small rustic cellar door that makes you feel a certain way as soon as you walk in. In this episode, Kellie Tannock focuses on the senses, exploring how the spaces around us shape how we feel, or how we learn, often without us even noticing.   From the subtle details of lighting, sound and layout in everyday businesses, to immersive experiences — it all points to one idea: thoughtful design can shape how we connect, relax and remember a place.   Image: Whicher Ridge Winery sensory garden Thanks for listening and if you've enjoyed this podcast, please share with your family and friends.

    From Hibernation to Celebration

    For ten days every July, the Margaret River Region comes alive as venues from Busselton to Margaret River open their doors with something a little special for the Cabin Fever Festival.   But Cabin Fever isn’t just a festival — it’s a chance for our community to lean into winter. To leave hibernation, come together and celebrate everything we do best: incredible produce, bold local wine and beer, and the great talents among us.    Cabin Fever makes winter feel warm, social and full of life.  Host Kellie Tannock talks to event organiser, Erin Molloy, about Cabin Fever's 10th anniversary and truffle farmer, Ben Warner who has created two special events to get his guests putting on their wellington boots for some winter fun.

    Where Whales Rest and Rise

    Each year, one of nature’s great journeys tracks along Western Australia’s coastline.  Before winter, humpback and southern right whales leave Antarctica’s icy waters for their long migration north to warmer seas — hugging our continent before trekking south again months later.  Known as Margaret River Region's 'whale nursery', Augusta's calm, sheltered waters provide a safe place for mothers to rest, feed and nurture their calves before the long journey home.  From its headlands and beaches, locals and visitors can witness breaching, tail slaps and those unforgettable moments when a calf surfaces beside its mother.  This week, host Kellie Tannock speaks to two researchers with different projects at each end of our Capes, and the creative force behind Augusta's Whalesong Festival that marks the start of the whale migration.

    The Impact of Giving Time

    In every regional community, volunteers are the backbone.   It's volunteers who run or support regional emergency services, kids sport, community events, arts festivals, historical societies, leisure groups ... the list goes on. So much of this only happens because our volunteers give thousands of unpaid hours to make it happen.  This week, host, Kellie Tannock talks to guests about the impact our volunteers make and hopefully inspire more people to get involved.  With National Volunteer Week each May, this is the perfect time to say thank you. The image supporting this podcast is the voluntary members of Margaret River Off Road Cycling Association working to maintain mountain bike tracks.

    The Story Beneath Our Feet

    On Capes Conversations this week, host Kellie Tannock takes us back in time to look at what’s widely regarded as WA’s first tourism attraction.  It’s one of Margaret River’s show caves, which suffered damage in its early years of tourism, when a visit was an eight-hour adventure, not the one-hour experience of today. We’ll find out just how much our behaviour has changed with better understanding about how fragile these cave systems are.  We’ll also hear about how the caves are being protected for future generations to enjoy.  This episode features Ngilgi Cave Manager, Tod Kearns and Alysha Johnson, Conservation Manager for the Capes Foundation, which operates Ngilgi Cave in Yallingup, as well as Lake, Jewel and Mammoth Caves in the region’s south.

    Small Brewers, Big Impact

    In  the past decade, Australia’s craft beer scene has shifted from niche to mainstream.   More and more beer drinkers were chasing local, independent, flavour-driven brews, and the industry responded... with brewers in the Margaret River Region right at the forefront of this golden new era..  Margaret River’s craft beer story began in the mid 90s with Bootleg Brewery – then something of a lone wolf in wine country.  But a small, distinctive group of breweries followed, choosing quality, place and hospitality over scale.   Today, craft beer is firmly part of the Margaret River experience, shaped by landscape, local produce and community. It’s not about rapid growth here – it’s about character, connection and great beer made close to where it’s enjoyed.  Raise a pint to our local brewers, as Kellie Tannock chats with the South West Brewers Alliance, a brewery with sustainability front and centre and a local hops farmer.  Photo credit: Josh Ball  Thanks for listening and if you've enjoyed this podcast, please share with your family and friends.

    The Hidden Struggle for Survival

    This week, Capes Conversations looks at the plight of some lesser known, or less publicised, wildlife in our region, and the work being done to protect them.  This episode could apply to so many of our native species where human impact, feral animals, habitat loss, light pollution, introduced species and climate change have all impacted our local wildlife and put them under threat. Host Kellie Tannock talks to conservation researchers and advocates for our beach-nesting birds, the white-bellied frog and the snake-necked turtle to find out what is being done to protect these often elusive and vulnerable animals.  Image supplied by Tegan Knowles.

    Waking the Landscape

    There are numerous land & coast care groups across the region, focused on rehabilitating degraded and weed-ravaged land, returning it to native bushland. One group, the Augusta Land and Coast Care Group also moonlight once a month as the Friends of Cape Leeuwin, with projects around Augusta as well as working alongside the Capes Foundation team at the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse Precinct. Gudrun Theile explains more about the group's purpose and activities before host Kellie Tannock is joined by Dianne James from the Capes Foundation and Peter Murphy, Horticultural Lecturer at SW Tafe, and all of them have some great tips for caring for your backyard.
