Twenty-seven thousand kilometres. One hundred days. One 1979 Land Cruiser called Alice. One dog named Jordie. And exactly zero dollars in the budget.
Edwina Robertson, known across Australia as the Queen of the Dust, sometimes the Queen of the Safari, and a self-confessed "faux-tographer", jumps in the passenger seat for a yarn about a life lived almost entirely on the road.

From leadership and resilience to life after professional sport, this is a candid look at the evolution of a true club legend.Follow Jason at https://www.instagram.com/jasonmichaelhoffman/ Follow the Newcastle Jets https://www.instagram.com/newcastlejetsfc/ 

Keeping on truckin' with country music superstar, Josie

Breaking into the music scene is a tough ask for any musician. Breaking into Australia’s vast country music scene as a young songwriter from Townsville, however, takes more than just musical talent.
Growing up on the passenger side of a Western Star, watching town after town disappear in the rearview mirror, has armed country music sensation Josie with all the stories and grit she may need to scuff up the stage at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry one day. 
Known by only her first name, Josie is taking the genre by storm with lyrics that bridge the divide between Australian and classic American country music. It’s for this reason she is being noticed by organisations like the CMA (America’s Country Music Association) and being curated into playlists with some of the biggest names you can think of. 
Josie joins us in the front seat en route to play a festival in Gatton, Queensland, and we chat about how her stories, self-discovery, and hard work have placed her well and truly on the map inside a genre of music that is exploding all over the world.
