In this episode, Sarah is joined by Dr Eleanor Dunlop to talk about the role vitamin D plays in our bodies and why some of us are vitamin D deficient. Dr Dunlop also discusses how her research could help inform nutrition policy in Australia and increase our intake of the ‘sunshine vitamin’.

Myth and literature are filled with associations between women, flowers and gardens but throughout history the study of botany and medicine was largely associated with men. today In this episode, we hear from a few modern women who work with plants and learn about the surprising role women played in the scientific endeavours in the plant world throughout history.
With Western Australian borders shut for some time to international and interstate travellers, the impact has been felt by the Aboriginal tourism sector. As locals enthusiastically ‘wander out yonder’, we are encouraged to see the State through the eyes of Traditional Owner and add a cultural experience to our intrastate itinerary. Hear from some incredible Aboriginal cultural tour operators.
