Hosts Tim and Amy are back on the pod together, without all the distractions that come with doing a bushwalk at the same time. They chat about recent articles that’ve been published about conservation and accessibility to nature in Australia.

 

Join We Are Explorers Podcast hosts, Tim Ashelford and Amy Fairall in this week’s episode. As well as the main topics of conservation and accessibility, find out how the editorial team writes news and chooses what to publish, plus some more lighthearted discussion on fishing in the NT, Tim’s recent trail race in the Red Centre, and of course the wrap up from Alone Australia Season 2.
