Recorded on Wangaaypuwan (Wongaibon) Country



In this episode, we travel to Nymagee, a small outback town with a rich past and a strong sense of pride in its people. Once a bustling copper mining centre, Nymagee has transformed into a creative, close-knit community surrounded by vast red plains and big horizons.



Through stories, laughter and local voices, we discover how Nymagee continues to reinvent itself — shaped by resilience, hard work, and the spirit of those who call it home. From the welcoming Country Women’s Association (CWA) to the skill and passion of horsewoman and coach Jillian Prince, this episode shines a light on the women and families who keep community traditions alive while looking boldly toward the future.
