In this episode, we head to Curtin Springs Station — a one-million-acre cattle station in the Northern Territory with a story like no other.
Lyndee Severin joins us to share how her family turned a humble 1950s stopover into a thriving outback destination. From welcoming travellers with a simple cuppa to hosting thousands each year, Curtin Springs has become a place where people connect deeply with the landscape.
One of the most unexpected experiences? Making beautiful, handcrafted paper from native grasses grown on the station — a hands-on, creative way to feel the outback in every fibre.
We talk dark skies, desert connections, and Lyndee’s uncanny ability to make a spreadsheet dance in a tutu.
A story of innovation, imagination, and the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave.
