This week’s broadcast of the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show comes from the studios of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in Sydney, Australia. This seaport city is the largest and oldest city in Australia, boasting the title of the first European colony in 1788. Surrounded by the sea, beaches, culture, conservation, and history, Australia’s appeal speaks to people from around the world, causing immigrants to account for 75 percent of Sydney’s annual population growth. Yet there is still the presence of Australia’s first inhabitants, the Aboriginal people, who offer interactional teachings of what life was before colonization.
Costas Christ, Writer and Editor for National Geographic Traveler, joins the radio show to discuss sustainable tourism in Australia and what he says are the three key pillars to sustainable tourism. Mary Mumbulla, Visitor Services Guide with the Barangaroo Delivery Authority, stops by to talk about the current reconciliation process between Australia and the Aboriginal people and introduces us to Barangaroo Reserve, a new Aboriginal reservation. Nicky Ginsberg, Creative Director of Chippendale Creative Precinct and Kensington Street Precinct, gives us insight on the best places to experience culture and food in Sydney. Defensive End Football Player for St. Louis Cardinals, Arizona Cardinals, and the Houston Oilers, Colin Scotts tells us the difference between American and Australian football and how he got the name “The Thunder from Down Under.” There’s all of this and more when the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from the studios of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in Sydney, Australia.
