In light of the 14th December Bondi attack, on The Nightline I was joined by psychologist Carlos Camacho to help us navigate the emotional aftermath.

We spoke about what to say to our children, how to carry the weight of events like this ourselves, and how to keep living our lives without letting fear take over. It was a steady, compassionate conversation about care, balance, and giving ourselves permission to feel what we feel.

If you missed it live, Carlos’s words may still help.

If you or someone you know needs extra support, Lifeline is available 24 hours a day on 13 11 14. You do not have to be in crisis to reach out. Support is there whenever you need it.

The Nightline with Cheralyn Darcey, broadcasting 8pm till midnight Monday to Friday, live from 2HD in Newcastle and broadcasting right across the 2SM Super Radio Network.

 Ethel Turner – The Spirit Behind Seven Little Australians

Tonight’s Bedtime Story steps into the life of Ethel Turner, the young woman who penned Seven Little Australians, a book that has never stopped breathing in Australian hearts. Ethel was a storyteller long before the world recognised her as one. With a fierce imagination and a steady determination, she wrote with honesty about childhood, family, rebellion and love at a time when literature rarely dared to show children as they truly were.

In this episode, we follow Ethel from her early days in England to her new beginning in Sydney, where hardship, loss and upheaval shaped both her life and her voice. We explore the craft, courage and quiet daring that allowed her to write stories that still feel alive more than a century later. This is Ethel Turner as a dreamer, a disruptor and a woman who gave Australia a literary classic that refuses to fade.

Hear the Nightline Bedtime Story live at 11.30pm AEDT, during The Nightline, broadcasting 8pm till midnight Monday to Friday, right across the 2SM Super Radio Network with Cheralyn Darcey.

Bedtime Story:  Ethel Turner – The Spirit Behind Seven Little Australians

Matthew Flinders – The Mapmaker Who Rewrote a Continent

Tonight’s Bedtime Story charts the extraordinary life of Matthew Flinders, the navigator who circled a vast and largely unknown land and, in doing so, helped shape the identity of Australia itself. Flinders was young, ambitious and relentless in his pursuit of discovery. With his beloved cat Trim by his side, he pushed through storms, shipwrecks, political obstacles and years of imprisonment to complete the first true circumnavigation of the continent.

In this episode, we follow his daring voyages, the rivalries and dangers he faced, and the quiet sacrifices that history often forgets. We explore how one determined explorer, armed with little more than courage, curiosity and unshakeable faith in his charts, forever changed the way the world saw this vast southern land. This is Matthew Flinders, not just the adventurer, but the visionary.
