Peter Fraser, or Frase... is a lifelong mate of Marys. They worked together in the DPI for a number of years.

Frase was pivotal in the TB eradication program working as a Stock Inspector, testing up to 1000 cattle a day on properties where those

cattle could be spread across 3/4 of a Million acres.

His career was nothing short of a steep learning curve having to work on diseases from the Hendra Virus to the Equine Flu... even Prawn Spot.

He shares a passion for Bush Poetry with Mary, who wraps up this chat with a very fitting tribute to Frase through her own poetry.

At age 24, while his mates were out playing sports and living life, Dane Lyons was

260+ KGs, couldn’t walk more than 200m and was getting quotes for mobility scooters.

Dane’s story of transformation to sub 100kgs is a true inspiration.

He was putting away the food and booze at a rapid rate of knots, going from a bottle of spirits a day and having flap jacks for tits (his own words), to competing on the world stage in Transformational Body Building.

Mary hooks into a no Bullshit chat with Dane with brilliant insights, inspiration and principles for not only anyone struggling with their own weight, but for life in general.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
