Often considered the 'Wild West' of Australia, the Northern Territory has more characters than the Oxford Dictionary. Most of them have never had their story told. Until Now!
Real stories from the Northern Territory, Australia. Hosted by Mother and Daughter duo: Toni Tapp Coutts and Megan Coutts - aka Mum and Me!
Come on a journey, as we delve into the life stories of Territorians, whether born here or not, and hear some fascinating yarns.
We will donate all of our interviews the the Library and Archives of the NT, for their oral history project.
A true Territorian isn't merely a casual observer who enjoys the surroundings; they're the ones who forge a deep connection to the land. They establish their presence, nurture their families, and invest in the future of the Territory. Though the coming years may present challenges, a genuine Territorian embraces them with resolve, committed to enduring and prospering. They build legacies that echo through generations, ensuring a brighter tomorrow for their descendants, who will one day honour their foresight and dedication.

Toni had the pleasure of going on a journey with Carney Ganley who was born in the desert country, at Woomera, the rocket launching capital of Australia.
In part one we will hear his story and adventures, of signing up to a course at the Katherine Rural College after his father heard a story about it on the radio to becoming a 'ringer'.
He has worked on cattle stations and helped his parents run a remote road house in Central Australia. He loved the life of a tour guide, spending a couple of years going to ‘The Rock’ - Uluru - and many other spectacular places through out Central Australia, Kakadu National Park and across the Kimberly to Broome.
He celebrated his 25th birthday on the edge of Ngorongoro Crater, looking across the African Serengeti in Tanzania where he went for three months and stayed for twelve.
A great story-teller, Carney takes us across remote northern Australia, Africa, Europe, and India before finally settling back in Alice Springs and taking a life changing turn in his career.
