Significant Roadside Area: Exploring the world through a child's eyes

In this special bonus episode, host Kyla Brettle is guided by her two children on a dreamlike walk that unravels the history of a small patch of remnant bush on the edge of a highway near her home in Barkers Creek, designated as a 'Significant Roadside Area'. On the journey, they're joined by an ecologist, a landcare volunteer and a First Nations Elder, to explore a small crack in the fabric of the universe where the past, present and future collide. It's a beautiful meditation on appreciating the connections between people and place, and rediscovering the world around us.

Australian communities are already grappling with the impacts of climate change — adapting to food and water insecurity, worsening bushfire and flood risk, intense summer weather and rising energy costs. Hear from people who are taking action at a local level to improve climate resilience, and rethinking what they need to thrive. Take inspiration and ideas for what you can do to make positive change, and help protect the things you love.
