SpaceTime -- A brief history

SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. Gary’s radio career stretches back some 34 years including 26 at the ABC. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. He was part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and became one of its first on air presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

PRINCESS ANNE The Royal who can’t get enough of Australia

The Australian Women's Weekly

By Juliet Rieden | Published 20 April 2022

The Princess Royal is famously pegged as the British monarchy’s hardest working royal because of the hundreds of engagements she carries out each year, so it came as no surprise that Her Royal Highness was the first member of the House of Windsor to fly out to Australian shores when border restrictions lifted.

True to form, the three-day tour, followed by a hop over to Papua New Guinea to mark the Platinum Jubilee, was carried out at a frenetic pace. But with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, by her side, the Queen’s only daughter was in her element reconnecting with a part of the world she tells me she has always loved.

The Princess was ostensibly here for a working visit as patron of the Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth (RASC) for its bicentenary. To mark the occasion the royal couple had been invited to the opening ceremony of the Sydney Royal Easter Show, spending the whole day at the showgrounds.

Palace aides then tailored a bespoke program of engagements to touch on other key areas of interest for the Princess, especially talking to members of frontline services for fire and floods. “My husband’s brother lives at Lismore. Fortunately, up the hill. We’ve been kept in touch with the flooding,” she explains in my exclusive interview in England in advance of the tour. “I have to say it’s one of the things about the Sydney Show which I think brings together so much of the impact of what’s been happening, the extreme of the fires you’ve suffered and the floods. Sir Tim and I are working farmers so very much appreciate the opportunity to visit the Sydney Show.”

Princess Anne first visited back in 1970 and today she and Sir Tim arrived at the opening ceremony in the same historic horse-drawn calèche that 52 years earlier she had climbed into with her parents, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, and elder brother Prince Charles. That trip was the young Princess’s first major overseas tour and also the first time the now ubiquitous ‘walkabout’ had been tested in Australia.

This was the groundbreaking new way the royal family connected with the public, no longer standing on ceremony, but heading out into the crowds to meet people face-to-face. While it is now considered a cornerstone of royal tours, for the shy 19-year-old such encounters proved intimidating. “To be faced with a wall of strange faces, which may look very friendly at the time, but where do you start the conversation? That is quite a daunting prospect,” she confesses, smiling at the memory.

“We started the trip further south, so the introduction to the walkabout was in Melbourne. Sydney was a lot more buzzy, and of course, in a way the Easter Show is exactly the right place to go when you first go to Australia because there is everything that is Australian there and people from all over the country. It is a huge introduction to Australia; a really good place to start.”

Despite the anxiety of fronting up to crowds – which were huge – the Princess’s passion for the Show was ignited that day. “I was really delighted when my father asked me to succeed him as Patron of the RASC,” she said on this visit and her fervour was clear to see.

The Princess insisted on staying on foot in the showgrounds rather than being chauffeured in a buggy, so she could chat to as many people as possible. As she strode through the crowds she was greeted by excited faces and gasps of delight. And when she was called on to hand out ribbons for prize-winning calves and rosettes to youngsters involved in Riding for the Disabled, of which she is also the patron, she eagerly shared her knowledge of farming and rural life.

Watching from the sidelines, it was obvious that the royal has an army of fans in Australia. Indeed, as soon as her attendance was announced some weeks before the visit, ticket sales soared. Usually it is the following Easter weekend that is most popular, but the star power of the Princess Royal pushed April 9 to the top of the show’s sales’ charts, with 55,000 through the gates that day.

As a member of the royal family, crowds are an occupational hazard, but I wonder if the Princess still found them as confronting today. “It’s always interesting – because you just find people with stories to tell. So yes, I’m less daunted but maybe approach it slightly differently. Of course, weirdly, technology rather gets in the way now because whereas in those days [there was] the odd camera – now if you’re not careful it’s a wall of phones and you can’t actually see anybody,” she laughs.

Back in 1970 Princess Anne watched and learned from her parents, a necessary process of osmosis that formed her initiation into a life of service. “We’d been away for a while by then so we were getting into the swing of it. I think there is no way they [the Queen and the Duke] could have prepared you for just how tiring it gets. Suddenly you find that you’ve woken up in the middle of the night having a nightmare that you’re standing in the middle of a reception and you can’t speak. That creeps up on you and I think you just learn to pace yourself. I can now sleep in any form of transport, which does help!”

Choosing the right wardrobe was another learning curve. On that first trip the Princess’s hat was caught in a gust of wind and reporters famously heard her utter “bloody wind”, a comment which fuelled the tabloids. “Milliners do things which make perfect sense when you’re standing still inside; it makes slightly less sense when you’re outside in a draught, especially when it’s blowing from behind you, but that’s experience, as they say. These things you learn how to deal with.”

Another sartorial lesson adopted from her mother was putting weights in skirt hems. “For some materials that was an absolute necessity. It’s fine if you want to wear light clothes but airports, always breezy, never a good idea, so you find some way of dealing with that. It’s a very old-fashioned habit. You wouldn’t find it much now unless you actually asked or had things specifically made.”

Prince Charles had been to school in Australia at Geelong’s Timbertop and was already a fan of our outdoor lifestyle, ocean swimming and surfing. “We did go to his school in Geelong and I had a chance to meet some of his friends,” the Princess recalls. “I rather envied him that opportunity, I have to say. I could have done with seeing a bit more [of Australia].”

Nevertheless, on that first trip the Princess did manage to fit in her own private time out. “I was race riding at the time and I actually went out and rode for three days. From my perspective it was trying to keep fit because I was coming back to riding at home so I didn’t really want to spend a week sitting on my backside doing nothing. I rode a horse that had been in the Australian [1968 Mexico Olympics] team in Centennial Park in Sydney. That was, in retrospect, one of the bravest things I’ve ever done but he was a lovely horse,” she tells me.

Why brave? “Because I jumped some of the fences there,” she beams.

Princess Anne is adamant that agricultural shows like the Easter Show still have relevance. “The great thing about the Sydney show is since it first began it’s been bringing people [together] learning about Australia and how to be more successful in farming to build on its strengths in that time,” she explains. “The emphasis will have shifted [and] we certainly found in this country that agricultural shows have made a bit of a comeback because they’ve recognised that it is not so much about the farming community that needs to be stuck together, it’s introducing and making sure people understand farming who no longer have that automatic connection.

“Two hundred years ago everybody would have understood perfectly what the shows are trying to do, but that would have been a market, somewhere where you could promote how good you were in front of other farmers. Now, it’s more a question of educating populations as to the issues and challenges that farming faces.”

On the second day of the tour the Princess was eager to meet with Rural Fire Service volunteers and pay her respects to the families of two firefighters who had tragically lost their lives in the 2019 bushfires. It was emotional for Errol O’Dwyer who held his son Andrew’s framed photo as he talked to the Princess. Standing next to him was Andrew’s little girl, Charlotte, who was just 19 months old when her father died aged 35. In her speech the Princess highlighted the impact of loss on a community and the risks volunteers take on. She had no notes and spoke from the heart.

Afterwards she visited the Sea Heritage Foundation’s MV Cape Don, a lighthouse tender vessel under restoration, where her brother’s charity, Prince’s Trust Australia, is partnering with an initiative to train First Nations’ youth in the maritime industry. The Princess and former naval officer Sir Tim were fascinated by the ship and the project. “I think there’s the scope for making use of the history to inspire the next generations, because we’re all short of maritime workers,” she comments.

In a few weeks the Princess Royal will be joining the celebrations for Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee and inevitably our conversation turns to her mother’s legacy. “It’s a very difficult thing to put your finger on. I doubt if there’s a single description that would fit the bill,” she muses. “There is an element of constancy here in terms of attitude to service and recognition of service, the values that individuals bring ... I think she’s been able to support that and bring those people to the fore in a way that is so important.

“[Likewise] The Queen and I had a discussion the other day about the difference between fashion and style and I think maybe that’s relevant in the sense that she didn’t do fashion but she certainly does style, and style tends to last longer. You have an individual style and it’s a quality which has a long-term value.”

And while the longevity of Her Majesty’s reign is historic, her sheer volume of knowledge is also quite mind-blowing. “Yes, when you tot up the number of leaders of countries and her own prime ministers, that’s a quite extraordinary perspective.

“Her memories and understanding of each of those was they reach that point and the impact they can make – but equally having the ability to recognise that every individual could do it slightly differently. That may be part of the value. We’re not all the same.”

The Princess’s father was her mother’s “strength and stay” and now he’s gone, his contribution is fully recognised. “Unwavering support is probably the best way of describing it,” his daughter notes. “I think he also understood the things he was better staying out of – although it was quite difficult in the early days – but there were also distinct areas where he could help and did. His input and perspective and the fact that his travels took him to a slightly different area of the country and internationally could have a real impact. I think he learned how to distinguish when those moments were.” The Princess concedes that her father would have had a tough initiation. “I’m sure it wasn’t very easy to begin with because there was no such thing as a role then. He had to invent that one.”

When I ask what lessons she has learned from her mother, Princess Anne returns to the idea of style. “Maybe it is that style in the long term and the way you do things, remaining constant. I think it’s the way you treat people, with respect for individuals. When you’ve been around for long enough and people keep changing at the top of your organisations, if you’ve had a good relationship, a bit like prime ministers, you need to accept the next one because that isn’t necessarily the only way of doing anything. There are moments when you think, ‘are you sure that’s what you ought to be doing?’, but you have to stand back and let them get on.”

When the Queen was crowned, her daughter was second in line to the throne; today she’s 17th behind her younger brothers. It’s a gender penalty that is no longer applied and many feel it should be fixed retrospectively to reflect The Princess Royal’s unfailing sense of duty and service that, at 71, is as strong as ever.

But Princess Anne says she feels her gender has never been an obstacle. “I have been treated as an honorary man for a lot of my life. I did take part in a sport which didn’t have any gender balance. It was open to both, end of story. So, I had the benefit of being treated equally … although oddly enough when I first went to Australia I found a difference, the men went down one end of the room and the women went up the other. I didn’t think that was entirely appropriate.”

Now, Princess Anne thinks Australia has moved on and it’s a place she never tires of visiting. “I think Australia remains as one of the most attractive places to go to, for whatever reason – work or leisure.”

Landmark Bellarine equestrian complex Helgstrand at Turnberry changes hands

Horse enthusiasts have snapped up a landmark Bellarine Peninsula property with world class equestrian facilities after missing out the last time it changed hands.

RT Edgar listing agent Felix Hakins would not reveal the sale price for Helgstrand at Turnberry, which entrepreneur Bruce Dixon listed in January with $7.7m to $8.3m hopes.

But he said the former pub king achieved a “good price” through the expressions of interest campaign.

The equine accommodation is almost as good the human digs at the 24.28ha lifestyle property at 80 Scotchmans Rd, Bellarine.

Olympic equestrian Mary Hanna built the complex that forms a substantial part of the farming estate near Drysdale.

Breaking Horses at Muskoka Farm Pre Training

A one-of-a-kind property, Muskoka Farm pre training offers world class capacity for breaking, pre-training, spelling, agistment and a registered AQIS quarantine facility. It is also home to some of the country’s top trainers, including Gai Waterhouse.

The thoroughbred breeding industry is a major contributor to Australia’s economy, with stallion fees, sales profits and racehorses themselves making significant contributions. However, it’s not without its challenges. To know more about Pre Training, visit the Muskoka Farm website or call (02)45663106.

The thoroughbred breeding industry is a major contributor to Australia’s regional economy, with stallion fees, sales profits and racehorses themselves making significant contributions and supporting thousands of jobs. It is therefore important to properly break horses to prevent behavioural problems later in life. This is one of the services offered by Muskoka Farm pre training, a world class facility in Wisemans Ferry, NSW.

The 280-acre property is surrounded by national parks and natural bushland, which provide the ideal environment to tailor care to the physiology of the race horse. This is particularly beneficial for young horses, which can become stressed by unfamiliar surroundings.

The facility offers breaking, pre-training and spelling via a world class facility, which features a four-bedroom period homestead overlooking the arresting Hawkesbury River, helipad, private jetty/pontoon, large outdoor pool, staff cottages and two-bedroom guest house. It also has a high-tech treadmill and a two-kilometre crusher dust track. It is a popular choice among many of the nation’s leading trainers.

Muskoka Farm is a world class facility offering breaking, pre training, spelling and agistment. It also has a registered AQIS quarantine complex. It has worked with many top thoroughbreds, including Golden Slipper winner Redzel and Melbourne Cup winner Fiorente. The thoroughbred breeding industry makes a significant contribution to Australia’s regional economy, with stallion fees and sales profits the major contributors. It also provides thousands of jobs in related industries.

Geography drove history in the Muskoka and Haliburton regions, whose rugged landscape offered rich opportunities for hunting, trapping, fishing, and hunting. The area’s chain of lakes, forests and rocks, its wild game, and the maple syrup it produced could support a permanent Indigenous population. However, the land was not well suited to farming.

Today, Muskoka has over 1,600 lakes and is a popular cottaging destination for visitors from all over the world. Its scenic beauty and natural environment make it a place where horses can thrive.

Taking a young thoroughbred from an animal that bucks at the sight of a human to one that is willing to stand and be ridden requires a very special skill. Horse breaking can help prevent behavioural problems that can affect performance on the track. It is also important to know what the horses are eating so that they can be kept healthy and fit.

Muskoka Farm is a world-class facility that offers breaking, pre training and spelling. The facility is located on the Hawkesbury River and is a registered AQIS quarantine facility. The property features a private jetty/pontoon, large outdoor pool, 24-hour helipad and staff cottages.

The 280-acre farm has an enviable location that is surrounded by national parks and natural bushland. This setting is perfect for fine-tuning the care of race horses. It also has a state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen chamber, which is designed to increase a horse’s recovery time after racing and speed up healing.

Taking a horse from a frightened creature that buck at the sight of humans to one that obeys commands and is willing to be saddled and ridden requires a rare set of skills.

The 280 acre property is located near national parks and surrounded by natural bushland, making it ideal for race horses. It offers a variety of services, including breaking, pre-training, spelling and agistment.

Six lots from the farm made their way to last week’s inaugural Ready2Race Sale, with Styling City the most successful.

The area is home to numerous vacation villages and towns, many of which are situated on the shores of the region’s glistening lakes. The landscape of this district of Ontario, along with Haliburton and Peterborough County, is dotted with upscale vacation homes that are often frequented by celebrities and professional athletes alike.

Star Hong Kong raider Dan Excel arrived at Muskoka Farm this morning after completing his mandatory quarantine stint at Eastern Creek ahead of October’s $3 million Sportingbet Cox Plate (2040m).

Located in Gunderman, NSW the farm offers state of the art horse spelling and training in a stress free environment.

I don't know why but NO ONE is talking about Taylor performing at the Melbourne Cup. Y'all don't understand how big of an issue it actually is. It's been reported that there has already been a spike in the ticket sales since it was announced that Taylor will be performing. More ticket sales equals more stress on the horses to win. Too many horses are dying and injured for nothing other than our entertainment.

I don't know Taylor's reasoning for agreeing to this, but I know that Taylor is smart enough to know why we're mad, and she's ignoring it for whatever they offered her. Her influence is huge and most of the time it's used for good. But this time, it hasn't been.

I have been her fan for over thirteen years. This isn't hate.

But if she drops a couple thousand to a charity, that's not okay. Money doesn't fix everything. 99% of the people who are there to see Taylor, don't care about anything but Taylor. They're going to give their money to a shitty event to see her no matter what. If she doesn't go. The event won't get the fans money, ratings go down. It's simple.

Taylor could perform in the middle of a war zone and fans will go out of their way to see her because that's the kind if fanbase this is.

I really believe Taylor has a good heart, I wouldn't have been her fan for this long otherwise, but it's hurts so much because this is against everything I believe in and I don't know if I can support this kind of behaviour. I've cried many times over this.

Taylor could be bringing attraction to so many better organisations that are for good, such as The Starlight Foundation, The Animal Welfare League Australia, there are hundreds of thousands of charity's and organisations that are for good that Taylor could chose.

I am not by any means important or of influence at all, my voice won't reach many people but Taylor's will.

I pray that Taylor will come around and do something about this, because its important and effects more than "just a couple horses."
