Do you know what to do when you find a native animal in need of help?  It's something that we face often in our Adelaide Hills lifestyle, and many people don't know what to do or who to turn to for help.

Save Our Wildlife Foundation Inc, known as SOWFI, is here to help, anywhere in South Australia.  They will rescue an animal in need, and provide the care that will give that animal the best outcome possible.  But they can also train you as a wildlife carer, so that you can join the team and nurse animals back to health.

Join me as I chat with Marian MacLucas about SOWFI and their work with wildlife.

If you find an animal in need of assistance, call SOWFI at any time on 7120 6610

Ginger Rogers did it backwards and in high heels.  And the Woodchester Community Dance Club is now giving people the opportunity to learn to dance in a friendly, comfortable club. 

Some listeners will remember the days of the regular community dance, or when dancing in the arms of your partner was a weekly occurrence.  The club wants to bring back those days, without the stress and expense of formal classes.

Daryl Owen joined me this week to talk about all the benefits of dance, and how you can get involved.

There's been a lot of talk over the past couple of years about the need for a commuter rail service between the Adelaide Hills and the metropolitan area.

On the surface the idea sounds like a good one.  Get cars off the freeway, and give people a stress-free way to get to work on convenient public transport.

But when you start to think about it, all sorts of problems arise, from where to put the track, to how we'll get from our homes to the closest railway station.

One person who's thought a lot about these problems is Douglas McCarty.  His career has given him an unique insight into the issues and the solutions, and he thinks he has a plan that could see us all catching trains to town within five years.
