The Loop - Travel intro on Fresh 92.7

Movember – the month when men put down the shaver to grow a moustache and support men’s health.

But do all men register their mo with the charity? And raise money to promote men’s mental health and combat prostate and testicular cancer?

Emmie Dowling spoke to Movember Australia country director Jeremy Macvean who says charities aren’t just about generating funds.

The Loop - Movember

Exploring mindfulness

Meet Glenn Farmer, a 43-year-old Australian Aborigine who spent his first international trip lost in Paris and sleeping on the streets.

How did this all come about?

It started when Farmer, who came to the city of lights with friend and famous Australian artist Timothy Cook for an art exhibition in Le Marais, left his hotel alone to grab a late-night snack.

The winding Parisian streets proved too confusing for him, a countryman who’s used to the flat, natural landscape of the Tiwi Islands, a cluster of islands just off the northern coast near Darwin.

For some perspective, the Tiwis are 8300 square kilometres in size and has a population of about 2500 people. Île-de-France is 12,000 sq km and at least 12 million people live here.

Here are two bird calls... One is of an Australian crow, and the other belongs to the Australian raven. Which is which?

Can you tell the difference between a crow and raven call?

There's been a bizarre discovery in north west Victoria... The Australian Little Crow has found a home in the most peculiar pocket of this state... I investigate...

What is it like to be in a family who cares for a member with a disability?

Georgia Leutner is 16, and on top of volunteering at several youth groups, she helps to look after her younger sister Brooke who has Autism Spectrum Disorder with an intellectual disability. Georgia is a nominee in the Victorian Young Achiever Awards.

 I visit the family's Mildura home to meet them.

Families caring for a member with a disability

Do you google search symptoms when your sick? 

Research may be a good idea, but there could be risks involved.

I spoke to some locals and a doctor to find out if self-diagnosing is bad for us.
