G'day and Welcome back to the Humans of Agriculture podcast
You're in for a treat this week, Oli is sitting down with the World's Okayest Pilot & Flying Outback Vet Doctor Campbell Costello.
Cozy is an absolute character, for the past 17 years he has been a practicing vet. His work has taken him across Australia and the World, these day's he services remote and rural communities and businesses mainly across Northern Australia.
We chat about:
- The most incredible job in the world
- The Mongol Derby & seeing the world through his vet work
- The stark reality of mental health and suicide in the vet profession
- Learning through school of the air
- Managing grief and loss following the passing of his father
- The love of aviation inherited from his father and grandfather
And his question for a future guest: "You have the chance to speak to yourself at your high school graduation, would you tell yourself to do anything differently or would you stick to what you’ve done?"
This episode was recorded on the lands of the Mithaka people in south western Queensland. The country was absolutely incredible and if you head to our social media, you can check out the incredible landscape, waterways and area that has been cared for thousands of years.
What is Humans of Agriculture?
We're going behind the scenes to see and understand modern agriculture, because no matter whether you're in it or not, you probably don't know all the pieces to just how incredible, diverse and multi-layered agriculture is. We do this by uncovering the real stories, experiences and voices of modern agriculture.
