re:location Evan Wallace

In the final of this mini series of re:location, I ventured to South Yarra and Carneige where I met Sue and Janine. Two wonderful women with a great sense of home but very different politics. 

We continue our adventure in Southern New South Wales where we meet Tony in Yass and Stuart in Queanbeyan. I loved these two conversations. Tony was ahead of the eight ball and Stuart had a beautiful philosophy on life in Australia and the role of community. 

This time we're in Wagga Wagga, where we meet Di, Teegan and Jesse. Wagga is New South Wales' largest inland city and it means something a bit different to the three. In two separate conversations, I chat with these Wagga residents about their sense of home and what they're hoping for at this year's federal election. Supporting pensioners and mental health are on the radar in these conversations. 

Re:location is back! On season two we explore Australians' sense of home against the backdrop of the 2022 Federal Election. To kick things off I ventured to Cairns and Mossman which are in the seat of Leichhardt in tropical North Queensland. For our first episode, we catch up with Aziz, Norm and Randall. 

In this edition of re:location, I talked with Lucy Graham about Tropical North Queensland's incredible environment.  Lucy is the Director of the Cairns and Far North Environment Centre (CAFNEC) and Cairns local. We chatted about her work with CAFNEC, the incredible nature that you will find in this part of the world and the community's strong history of activism in pushing for environmental protection.

This edition of re:location is about life in Karumba. This is a town with a real sense of ease and calm, and where nature rules.  Nestled in the south east pocket of the Gulf of Carpentaria, I talk with a few of Karumba's 500 locals about what makes town tick, barramundi and life alongside crocodiles.
