In this week’s guest on the Hot Seat, you’ll meet Jim McAuley, an interesting Launceston local who moved here from Victoria a decade ago in remarkable circumstances. Jim also tells Chris Sayer of a compassionate connection with Nepal and Tibet that has led to a Launceston retail store with a holistic viewpoint.

Jim is also a world-renowned sand sculptor, a skill that has provided challenges in competition on beaches and other amazing venues.
