Kane Slater has a deep connection to nature and always has. Being connected to the land and the sea has sent Kane on many adventures; some that people would deem as 'crazy'. From the moment it became his own family's land, he knew that their patch of scrub in Coffin Bay, and in particular their fire pit, was a special place for connection. Unsure where his passion for the space would take him, Kane's most recent adventure was sparked; creating Yarnbala.
Please be aware that this episode discusses burn out, depression and makes reference to suicidal ideation.
