Creating ErinEarth: Ecological justice thriving in Wagga.
Twenty-five years ago, ErinEarth was two asphalt tennis courts and a dumping ground for a nearby school. Then two local Presentation Sisters, Carmel Wallis and Kaye Bryan, had the audacity to dream big and take action. This is the story of how Carmel and Kaye galvanised the Wagga Wagga community and turned a local wasteland into a half-hectare native garden. A quarter of a century later, ErinEarth stands tall as a beacon of biodiversity, demonstrating sustainable living to the local community.

Nurture: It takes a village.
This podcast explores the life stories of regional and rural women over the generations. We compare the experiences of Doll and Pip, two women making a home on remote NSW stations - one in the 1950s and one today. We meet Jean, a country journalist and Northern Territory explorer reflecting on her 90-plus year life journey. Then there's librarian Carole, a stalwart of local libraries and an example of blending work and family over decades. Next is Uta, who reflects on the intersection of army life, working motherhood and working for regional communities.
Note: This podcast is part of the "Nurture: It takes a Village" exhibition at the Albury Library Museum. Produced by A Lasting Tale for the Albury City Oral History Collection.
