  • Tracy Jones: Beyond the Beaten Track: Access for All
    Apr 21 2026

    In this month’s episode of Trail Tales WA, we’re switching it up. Tracy Jones is in the hot seat and the lady behind the scenes, Cindy Jones is hosting. We’ll be exploring a story built on passion, persistence, and the belief that nature should be accessible to every body. Tracy — Founder and Director of Off The Beaten Track WA, creator of Hike Ability, and one of WA’s leading voices in accessible tourism — is joining us to talk about how it all started, the meaningful work behind OTBT and the profound impact inclusive hiking has had on people with disabilities, families, carers, and communities across Western Australia.

    As we dive deeper, we’ll also reflect on a special milestone in Tracy’s journey: being awarded Gold in Excellence in Accessible Tourism at the 2023 and the 2025 Perth Airport WA Tourism Awards and most recently took home the Bronze for the Excellence in Accessible Tourism at the 2025 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards (that’s recognition on a national level!!) — a moment that recognises far more than a program. It celebrates lives changed, barriers broken, and a community committed to making the trails welcoming for all.

  • Walking the Talk: Building Outdoor Community Through Values
    Mar 24 2026

    In this month’s episode of Trail Tales WA, we sit down with Mikaela from Paddy Pallin to explore what it truly means to be values-led in the outdoor retail space.

    Mikaela shares how connection, sustainability, and community sit at the heart of Paddy Pallin’s approach — from the way they support customers on their adventures, to how they show up for the broader outdoor community. We dive into why representation and diverse voices matter in adventure spaces, and how ambassadors play a vital role in creating a more inclusive and welcoming outdoor culture.

    We also unpack the community projects and events Paddy Pallin is most proud to be part of — initiatives that go beyond gear and sales, and instead focus on building meaningful relationships, supporting people on the trails, and protecting the places we love.

    This episode is about purpose-driven business, community connection, and the power of aligning values with action — on the trail and beyond.

  • Episode 4 - Visibility on the Trails: Fran's Hidden Disability and the Impact Hiking Can Have on the Trails
    Oct 18 2025

    In this powerful episode of Trail Tales WA, we sit down with Fran — a legally blind hiker with an incredible story of courage, resilience, and connection to nature. Together, we open up an important conversation around hidden disabilities and what it means to navigate the world, and the trails, in ways many of us might never consider.

    Fran shares how hiking became both a challenge and a gift — a place where obstacles are real but so too are the rewards of determination, independence, and the support of community. She reflects on the ways nature provides freedom, grounding, and a sense of equality that can sometimes be missing in everyday life.

    This episode is about shifting perspectives, uncovering the strength in vulnerability, and recognising the invisible barriers people face — while celebrating the boundless spirit that pushes through them.
