Podcast No.6: Stanley Farley (14.2 Mb mpeg-4; 59 minutes)

Stan Farley is a painter and sculptor with a passion for poetry. His studio is built around an old railway carriage in the Whipstick Forest near Bendigo, surrounded by old gold diggings, red ironbarks, and the sounds of choughs and babblers and wind in the trees. There's a home grown olive tree and a love of Greek culture. This interview © Copyright Stanley Farley & Craig Robertson, 2006.

Bach Fantasia et Fuga in D (Fuga) played by Jacqueline Ogeil on her album The Virtuoso Harpsichord © 1995, and Debussy's Sonata for Violin and Piano (Finale), played by Miwako Abe and David McSkimming, from their album Poeme: Music for the romantic violin © 2000, both courtesy of Move Records.
