Ep 112: Clem Furphy

Send us Fan MailSome people live one life. Clem Furphy seems to have lived several.Born in 1943, Clem proudly describes himself as a war baby, not a boomer. In this conversation, he reflects on a life packed with adventure, creativity, community, farming and plenty of good stories.From riding his bike to school through Melbourne traffic (no hands), studying civil engineering, and enjoying time at the iconic Prince Alfred Hotel, to travelling Europe with his wife Kate in a VW Kombi, Clem has always embraced life with curiosity and humour.Eventually, he and Kate followed their dream of country and farm life. There, Clem built a mud-brick home with his own hands, immersed himself in the local community, and helped transform everyday locals into actors and touring performers.This is a warm, funny, and thoughtful chat about changing times, country life, creativity, and making the most of every chapter.And be sure to stay right until the end, where Kate treats us to a special tune on the piano.Enjoy this conversation with Clem Furphy.
