Brendan Cullen manages Kars Station, a 10,000-head sheep property 65 kilometres outside Broken Hill, New South Wales. In 2022, despite his nearest beach being more than 600 kilometres away, he swam the English Channel. Taking up swimming was part of Brendan's recovery from severe depression, an illness that had seen him cope in highly unhealthy ways–drinking, overwork, being emotionally absent–for years. But then he found the strength to walk through the doors of Broken Hill Hospital and ask for help.

We never want to enter that room because of the painful feelings it holds, but we can’t clean it up and remodel it without going through the door.

Gentle sounds and movements of the train lull you into a peaceful sleep. Thirty minute guided meditation begins with 12 minutes of guided imagery, followed by peaceful train sounds.
