The best ideas often emerge from unexpected moments - conversations over coffee, shared memories, and a deep appreciation for the past. That’s exactly how Voices of the Gascoyne came to life: through a chance conversation with a former pastoralist, whose story sparked a bigger idea.
These stories, often uncovered by chance, are woven into the very fabric of our region. They capture the triumphs and challenges of those who came before us—their resilience in the face of adversity, their ability to "just get on with it," and the way they shaped the industry we know today.
Bringing this idea to fruition, transforming it into six compelling, carefully curated stories, was only possible thanks to the dedication and expertise of Stephanie Coombes Creative. Her commitment to the interviewees and the process resulted in conversations that go beyond what we at GCG could have ever hoped for.
Welcome to Voices of the Gascoyne, a podcast series exploring the remarkable stories of the pastoralists who paved the way. These men and women faced enormous challenges—navigating communication, transport, and electricity in remote landscapes, surviving natural disasters, market collapses, and shifting government policies.
Through their stories, we gain invaluable insights, lessons drawn from experience, resilience, and perseverance. For them, it was simply life. For us, it’s both an inspiration and a guide for the future.
