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.

Carney wholly represents the saying 'a life well lived’ and there is still a lot more to come.
We pick up from Carney's early beginnings as a Northern Territory Police Officer in Alice Springs - which he was not enjoying so much. A chance position opening at the outback Police Station in the remote Aboriginal Community of Kintore changed all that for Carney. Over 20 years in remote policing takes it's toll on the mind and body, and Carney does not wrap any of the truth in bubble wrap for you.
Kick back and listen to the fabulous storyteller that is Carney Ganley in part two of his story.
**Sadly, since recording this, Carney’s father passed away. We are all sending our deepest condolences to you, Carney, and family.
