Uncannily our first visit to Wooleen Station in three years lands after Wooleen and Yellowstone were both spoken about in last week’s episode with Montanan stars, Nicole Masters and Meagan Lannan. And when it comes to shifting the sense of what’s possible, this 375,000 acre property 700 kilometres from Perth WA is taking this to new levels, as the regeneration of country, community and culture continues to generate its own momentum. A number of long-held visions are currently coming to fruition, including with young dingo educator and researcher, Zali Jestrimski.

Zali’s now at the helm of a new dingo education centre at Wooleen, and some potentially game-changing research. What if it can be shown, as David suspects, that the dingoes of the Murchison region here, are having an even greater regenerative impact than the famed wolves of Yellowstone?

This conversation was recorded at Wooleen Homestead, on Wednesday 24 May 2023.
