Koala Audiobooks reveals how we as a nation Australia, are now a part of with holding intelligence for Ukraine to fight off Russia

Pine Gap Spy base is America's most powerful spy base in the world, believe it or not,

Ukraine has also depended on the intelligence data from Pine Gap in the deserts of Australia, as data from Pine Gap was passed onto the Pentagon in Washington, then passed onto Ukraine,

Australian government will never admit this, as Australia in the past, play the audio sample, shows how a past Prime Minister the Late Gough Whitlam also put pressure on the USA about Pine Gap and questions asked was Nixon a part of removing Gough Whitlam 

If our Prime Minister admitted to Australia that we are also a part of stopping intelligence for Ukraine cause Pine Gap is on Australian Soil then he runs the risk of USA pressure over Pine Gap being able to keep spying on the world ---- Now Russia does not have to worry about Pine Gap Satellites above the Equator Spying on them for Ukraine 

Again as we always say at Koala Audiobooks - Play the Audio Sample - hear from expert Professor Tanter at an International Peace conference in Australia in 2016

Aunty Magdaline Cottas is one of the most beautiful people you will ever meet, we drove from Cairns up to the top of Cape York to 2 communities called Bamaga and Seisa

We were driving through Seisa trying to find her home, then we were told she moved to Bamaga just up the road and both Sesia and Bamaga are only few kilometres apart

After we found Aunty Magdaline Cottas she was full of joy to see us, she was ready to sit down with a cup of tea for a good chat

then we interviewed her for a few hours, those were the days of mini disc recorders where we could record for an hour then replace the mini disc to record another hour

As we always say here at Koala Audiobooks, it's best to Play and hear her audio sample as it's an amazing story to hear how her grandfather escaped the brutality of the French government and escaped New Caledonia on a ship to Australia in the 1800's - he then married her Grandmother who came from the remote community of Wenlock

Wenlock is where Jardine, the Irish settler shot many people down, she talks about it, so be prepared for truth, yes, people shot down so more cattle could be on land

She states - My grandfather worked for Jardine yet he shot all my people down at Wenlock

She laughs about how young people call the Tianacoo river Dianacoo after the Late Lady Diana - you hear her laughter which brings joy in this story

 " i say no noooo no Dianacooo it's Tianacooooo River "

Bettongs are like Kangaroos but much smaller, they are one of Australia's most beautiful mammals

Bettongs in all forests on the east coast of Australia maybe extinct just like Koalas within the next 50 years, given that Native forests are destroyed at night by illegal loggers

Bettongs eat truffles on the forest floor which are all part of essential nutrients for the roots of trees, there is a special natural biodiversity link between Bettongs eating the truffles or mushrooms on the forest floor, the large roots of trees are dependent on the bettongs eating these truffles

Play and Listen to our audio sample of Koalas and Forests to understand 

Koala Flash 2025 Memories of building and creating our Koala Audiobooks website over 6 years from 2015 - 2020 

We drove up and down the very dangerous Gunbarrel Highway which cuts through the Western Deserts of Australia

We visited remote communities who live in what's known as Outstations - Outstations are very small remote communities of up to 10 people or less with a transient population as families travel through - some outstations have no phones - we will give a longer blog on outstations soon

But driving through the Gunbarrel Highway visiting remote outstations was a great experience meeting unique Australians who survive in harsh desert conditions

We Honour the Late Jennifer Searcy - a True Friend from early 1990's who helped us understand the Royal Commission into Deaths in Custody

During 2025 We Honour Certain People Who Have Been Part of Our Journey Producing Stories about Australia

In 1993 we met Jennifer Searcy, in regards to producing a radio documentary on deaths in custody, the royal commission had just been completed where we even sat in a court room in Perth in 1992 and heard how the Late John Pat was murdered by 5 Police in Roebourne, Western Australia, a 16 year old teenager had his head kicked in, questions asked in royal commission why did they have blood all over their boots ?

Without Jennifer Searcy, Deaths in Custody Part 2 would not have been produced, she flew with us to Brisbane and Sydney to interview families who had lost loved ones in prison

As we always say - it's Best to Play this Audio Sample for this Story BUT be warned, it's very emotional as families speak up about losing loved ones

Thanks Jennifer Searcy You Will Always Be in Our Hearts for helping to expose the truth about Deaths in Custody in Australia
