Back Roads on ABC and ABC iview S10E4 – Along the untamed Bass Coast, presenter Heather Ewart discovers a haven for those looking for a fresh start in life, especially for those who aren’t afraid of trying new things!
Heather is driven into town by Bass Coast local Jon Von Goes, a civil celebrant and radio host, whose show on Melbourne’s community station Triple R has been on the air for over 30 years.
Jon was a self-confessed “pretentious creative type” living in the inner suburbs of Melbourne, but five years ago, when his living circumstances changed, he was faced with living in either a small apartment in the city or a beautiful place in the country. Jon opted for the latter… and hasn’t looked back. Jon now lives in Archies Creek a small hamlet that supports a very active live music scene.
The coastline of Bass Coast hides many ancient secrets, yet Mel Lowery and the Dinosaur Dreaming Team are slowly uncovering world-first discoveries in the area around Inverloch. Discoveries that are changing what the world knows about dinosaurs.
Following the death of her husband, 82-year-old Wendy Crellin decided to start up a ballet school run from an old Mine Rescue building in Wonthaggi.
This is no ordinary ballet class though, here everyone is 60 years or over! Just four people turned up to Wendy’s first class, but since then it has gone from strength to strength, and she now has 40 pupils.
Many of the students have wanted to dance ever since they were little, and now Wendy has finally given them the opportunity to pursue their childhood dream.
