Grampians Wimmera Mallee Episode 4 - Simon Freeman (Grampians Wine Cellar) - Grapes of the Grampians
For the first time in almost 800 episodes, Dirty Linen does a wine tasting podcast. We are guided by one of the best, wine merchant Simon Freeman from Grampians Wine Cellar, hanging out in his Halls Gap store with spectacular mountain views, talking Grampians Grape Escape, Halls Gap dining tips, and the journey from hospitality to retail. The idea was to have more time for family…how is that going? This episode is part of a special Dirty Linen series about the Grampians, Wimmera and Mallee regions in western Victoria. We drove the roads, saw the sights, said hello to the roos and emus, met the people, ate the food, drank the wine and generally soaked up the delights. Listen to more episodes about the Grampians Wimmera Mallee. We hope you’ll plan a trip to the region and listen to stories of this fun, fascinating part of the world as you travel.

Grampians Wimmera Mallee Episode 3 - Adrian Manikas (Grampians Peaks Walking Co) - talking the walk
Adrian Manikas · Grampians Peaks Walking Co Anyone visiting the Grampians (Gariwerd in the local Aboriginal language) is struck by the mountainous landscapes, dramatic rock formations and abundant wildlife. Adrian Manikas knows the place better than most: his Halls Gap company leads guided and catered walking tours through the national park at various levels of luxury. Good food is important to the hiking experience: as Adrian says, people will put up with almost anything during the day if they have a great meal at night. We visit MacKenzie Falls and talk walks.

Ema Moolchand (RMIT Researcher) - unpacking the exploitation of PALM scheme workers in Australia’s meat industry
Who killed the pig that turned into the ham for your last sandwich? Who cleaned the floor where a lamb turned into your lamb chops? Who trucked the beef that ended up in the next pie you’ll eat? The longer and more complex the supply chain, the easier it is to lose connection with the way food gets to us. What if it was brought by slaves? RMIT researcher Ema Moolchand studied Pacific Island workers in the Australian meat industry and discovered lies, disrespect, racism and a lack of dignity and freedom.
