Boomers Bar sits just off the Esplanade at Christie’s Beach.

Low lamps. Old furniture. Shelves of nostalgic nick-nacks that feel like they’ve always been there. It’s not styled — it’s collected.

In this conversation, Shelly Jones talks about creating and running Boomers Bar: why she chose a full retro feel, what people are really looking for when they walk through the door, and how a place becomes familiar without trying too hard.

It’s a story about atmosphere, memory, and quietly creating a place for a community — one drink, one conversation, one dimly lit night at a time.

Joel Hatcher is a personal trainer, barefoot runner, surfer, snowboarder, coach, dancer, and massage therapist — someone who has built his life around movement in all its forms.

In this conversation, we talk about what it means to live well in the body, not just train it. Joel shares his approach to strength, balance, recovery, and awareness, and how different disciplines — from surfing and snowboarding to dance and hands-on bodywork — inform the way he moves through the world.

This is a relaxed, thoughtful conversation with a grounded, generous person — about listening to the body, staying curious, and finding a way of moving that feels natural rather than forced.

Tony Barratt grew up living in a bus with his parents and six brothers and sisters, parked in a fixed location while his father worked as a roo shooter and rabbit catcher.

As an adult, Tony built a working life in Adelaide, spending years with Mitsubishi before later teaching aquatics to school children. Now in his seventies, he still rides motorbikes with his grandsons.

This conversation reflects on family, work and the steady unfolding of an Australian life.
