Peaks to Points - Antarctica

Hosts: Dave (He/Him) and Andy (He/Him) Today on the show we are talking to Peaks to Points festival organiser, Lynn Whitfield. Peaks to points is a biennial community environment event that includes 80 small events over two weeks across Brisbane, Ipswich, Redlands, Logan & Scenic Rim regions. It’s like a 2 week bushcare festival and it encompasses many bushcare, environmental workshops and forest tours so we will be talking to Lynn all about the 20 year old festival. https://www.peakstopoints.com.au/ We are also lucky enough to be playing an interview Vlad has done with documentary filmmaker Dan Brunskill. Vlad talks to Dan about his film Antarctica: Life at the edge, which digs into the animals and micro organisms that make one of the world's harshest environments their home. https://watch.eventive.org/mdff/play/6a2ebd0890c9d298c33bebc6 https://mdff.org.au/ Bushcare Roundup!!
