Untold Territory Megan Coutts and Toni Tapp Coutts

In honour of Pride 2024, we are bringing you the first part of the story that is Amber Sayers-Hunt, former Chair of the Tope End Pride (TEP) Committee.
As a young lady, Amber experienced a terrible event at the hands of a trusted adult but has overcome the trauma to build a life with her wife and daughter that she truly loves.
Her journey takes in the emotional job of working in an immigration detention centre and meeting the love of her life. A move to the NT brought a new purpose and a passion for the voice of the LBGTQI+ community to be heard and celebrated as a founding member of the Top End Pride Festival.
Amber is a passionate volunteer and community member and personifies what it means to be a Territorian!

Tony Fuller had no hesitation in saying 'yes' to being our very first interview, and as you listen to his story, you will see that his humility and kindness is at the core of his being.
A bush cop who was shot at by a group of youths in a remote community, who was heavily involved in finding justice for Carlie Sinclair and spent decades policing in some of the most remote Aboriginal communities in the NT.
Tony Fuller is currently the Chief Fire Control Officer of Bushfires NT, and has spent the past few years leading a team of fire fighters and emergency
services teams to fight mammoth fires in Central Australia - sometimes trying to contain fires with 500 km fronts!
Tony Fuller has a big story to tell and we are proud that he has trusted us to take his story to the public as the first guest on the whim of Toni And Megan wanting to create a podcast of the Untold Territory..

Gurindji man Kamahi Djordan King was born into a large Katherine family and spent time going bush with family as his father worked road building in the Ngukurr region and going to school in Katherine.
A man of great talent in all things artistic and creative, he took himself off to university to learn his trade and has trodden the boards of many great stages in Australia and the UK. Add to that creating his own cabaret show, the inception of Constantina Bush and mixing it with some great stars and artists and a famous world politician! 
Kamahi is a man with a wonderful generous spirit and is only halfway through his life story. We are thrilled to have him as the cameo on our very first episode of Untold Territory - From the Couch at Crow Corner.
