The Gympie Pyramid (4ZZZ)

From 4ZZZ in Brisbane, Nic Huntington takes us on a
journey filled with mystery and conspiracy, as we head to Dijaki
Kundu.


Supervising production from Anthony Frangi. Training from the
Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the
Community Radio Network.


Produced for the 2021 CBAA National Features and Documentary
Series.


It's always daunting walking into any space where you don't know
anybody.


Despite being a journalist for a quarter of my life, I still
struggle with this, no matter how many emails I've sent.


For hours I awkwardly felt out the energy at Djaki Kundu with a
roaring fire, camp chairs, and a bowl of delicious soup in front
of me as the stars set.


On hour 6 of an overnight trip, I started to think this whole
story might have been a mistake, stumbling through awkward
introductions to the constantly expanding roster of
characters. 


But when I awoke in the morning to a welcoming "I like this
fella, he has a trustworthy energy about him" I knew the story
was going to turn out. 


This story was a story of many visits similar to this, feeling my
way through awkward reintroductions before finally understanding
when the time was right to record.


I never could get Wit-Boooka to feel comfortable around a Shure
SM58, but I can live with that.


Special Thanks
