.....The Radio Program with a Difference
Today Radio and Media Productions invites you to a wonderful romantic township in the Australian Alps. The town has the intrinsic name of Nimmitabel. It is just a village with a main road on the highway between Canberra - Cooma - and the South Coast. If you ever have a chance to drive the road you have to stop at Nimmitabel. There is a fantastic Bakery a typical Australian Pub, the most fashionable Leather Shop and Manufacture owned by a Swedish Lady and her Husband and for sure also the Milkwood Art Gallery and Cafe run by the best looking young person I have ever seen. Milkwood reminds us on Dylan Thomas who wrote Under Milkwood and the Art Gallery and Cafe is devoted to the story. There is also a Radio Station broadcasting all over the huge distance of the Australian Alps and for sure bringing the exiting programs by Radio and Media Productions.
We make a steep turn and go to Goulburn and visit Paddington Alpaca Stud in the Southern Tableland of Australia. Pauline Nugent has won countless awards and prices for her outstanding Alpacas. I think we saw about 400 of them. The Sydney Royal Easter Show without her price-winning Alpacas would be only half as exiting without Pauline's Alpacas and also Pauline as a Judge. I got my wonderful Alpaca Samuel from her Stud winning many times the Supreme Champion at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. My Hillcrest and Herbertleigh Farms have been close to Paddington Alpacas and we often competed to win awards for Alpacas and in my case also for Ultrafine Merino Sheep.
Pauline Nugent beside myself have been the first farms reviving Alpaca farming in Australia and especially in the Southern Tablelands. Unfortunately I sold Hillcrest and Herbertleigh Farms in 2001 a step I later deeply regretted. Pauline Nugent on the other hand is still going strong with Paddington Alpacas.
Just listen and be fascinated by our today's LifeStyle Program.
