If These Trees Could Talk is an Australian storytelling podcast shaped by memory. The kind held quietly in both land and people.
Some stories linger where they happened, settling into soil, roots, and place. If These Trees Could Talk explores Australian true crime, mystery, history, and the paranormal, listening for what unfolded here and what still echoes through the landscape.
From the same roots grows What Would They Say. A connected space for the wisdom of lived experience, inner landscapes, emotional truth, and the stories so often left unspoken.
Like the trees, we exist as part of an intricate ecosystem; connected beneath the surface and sustained through community. When stories are shared, their weight is dispersed, allowing understanding, healing, and connection to grow.
What the Water Took -The Mystery of Margaret Clement and the Tullaree Swamp
A story of fortune, isolation and a woman who simply vanished.
Once an heiress living a life of extraordinary privilege, Margaret Clement watched as fortune, family and the grand South Gippsland estate she called home slowly disappeared around her. Then, in May 1952, Margaret vanished too.
Shannon presents Megan with the pieces of one of Victoria’s most enduring mysteries, as they follow the remarkable life of the woman who became known as the Lady of the Swamp and ask the question that has remained unanswered for more than seventy years: what happened to Margaret Clement?Shownotes - https://sites.google.com/view/ifthesetreescouldtalk/episode-69-what-the-water-took

A Bad Day for Playground Duty - The Westall UFO Encounter
60 years and still more questions than answers.
In 1966, hundreds of students and teachers at Westall High School in Melbourne, Australia, looked up — and sixty years later, we're still asking what they saw. The Westall UFO encounter remains one of Australia's most extraordinary unexplained mass sightings. Shannon and Megan head back to 6 April 1966 as their spectacularly unqualified alter egos, Shirl and Mavis, for one very strange day on playground duty. Between eyewitness accounts, reported ground marks, missing footage, UAP theories and questions that remain unanswered, they explore what happened at Westall — without pretending they know the answer.

If We Listened | More Than NF1
What might we learn if we listened to young people a little more?
If We Listened gives young people the microphone - because sometimes the people we spend so much time teaching have something to teach us too. They have opinions, experiences, questions and wisdom worth hearing.
In our first conversation, we meet a group of incredible boys living with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). But this isn't a story about asking them to be inspirational or to represent everyone with a diagnosis. It's a chance to hear about their lives in their own words - the funny, frustrating, difficult, ordinary and wonderful parts.
Because a diagnosis can tell us what a condition is. It can't tell us what it's like to live with it. And it certainly can't tell us who a person is.
So we're giving these young people the microphone.
And we're going to listen.Shownoteshttps://sites.google.com/view/ifthesetreescouldtalk/episode-67-more-than-nf1
