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.

Kim grew up in a rugged part of the Northern Territory with no power, no phone and no siblings!
She had a wild and free childhood with parents she fondly calls 'misfits' and the influx of visitors in the dry, particularly 'Nanna' Doreen Waldock, an Aboriginal elder from the lands of what is now known as Kakadu National Park. There is no doubt that it was a tough upbringing, one that the majority of our listeners could not even possibly picture!
Kim did distance education all the way to year 12 because she wanted to prove someone wrong! She 'scraped through' despite getting awards throughout and left home not long after to pursue a life of her own.
Part one will take you on Kim's early life journey of a truly remote upbringing, feeling heartbreaking loss and finding enduring love.
