Get ready for a jaw-dropping episode of Proper True Yarn Podcast as we welcome DJ Jarrah Ella, one of Australia's most renowned DJs, who has ventured into a new career path in the mining industry. In this captivating episode titled "Northern Territory Road Train Tragedy" Jarrah takes us on a wild journey filled with unexpected twists and incredible challenges.

Jarrah's mining adventure unfolds during his time on the Emergency Response Team in the Northern Territory. The episode kicks off with a heart-pounding emergency call—an overturned truck on the highway, 150km away from any major emergency services like the police or fire brigade. The team rushes to the scene, arriving to find a double-decker trailer overturned in the middle of the highway, filled with cattle.

As they begin their scene survey, the unexpected occurs—the back window of their Land Cruiser spontaneously explodes. Meanwhile, the trailer's doors partially open, allowing some cattle to escape while leaving others trapped. The team springs into action, cutting steel and using ropes to free the stranded cattle. Amidst the chaos, they encounter scenes of live cows trapped beneath dead ones, presenting a gut-wrenching dilemma.

With no easy solution in sight, they make the tough call to use their Makita Reciprocating Saw to disassemble the deceased cattle in a desperate bid to save the living ones. Just when it seems like they're facing an insurmountable challenge, an old country cowboy arrives on the scene. With unwavering resolve, he effortlessly puts down the suffering cattle, tipping his hat, and departing as mysteriously as he arrived.

Once all the cattle are liberated, there's still the matter of the overturned trailer, posing a danger to oncoming traffic. In a stroke of luck, a road train carrying an 80-tonne excavator appears out of nowhere. The truckie unloads the excavator, flips the trailer back onto its wheels, and moves it safely off the road. With the mission accomplished, he returns to his road train and heads off to a mine site.

Join us for an episode that encapsulates the unexpected challenges and extraordinary moments that can occur in the world of mining. DJ Jarrah's tales will leave you in awe of the incredible adventures that can unfold in the most unlikely places.

Get ready for the gripping grand finale of Proper True Yarn Podcast as Dan Beasley takes us on a rollercoaster journey in the episode titled "From Sick Day to Survival." In this remarkable tale, Dan recounts an unforgettable adventure that began with a sick day but turned into a life-changing ordeal that defied all odds.

Despite the pain, he soldiered through the day but sought medical attention the next morning. Feeling better, Dan decided to make the most of his day off and embark on an adventure with his mate.

Their destination? An elusive infinity pool at the top of a waterfall they had previously heard about. What started as a picturesque hike to the base of Alligator Creek Waterfall took an unexpected turn as a wild storm rapidly approached, transforming the perfect weather into a dark and rainy descent.

The once manageable granite track became treacherous with slippery moss, forcing Dan and his girlfriend, Jade, to traverse the treacherous terrain on hands and feet. Fear of falling off a ledge loomed as they navigated the precarious path.

In a harrowing twist of fate, Dan's premonitions came true as he slid down the face of the mountain, plummeting off a cliff and into the trees below. The fall tested his resilience, and he feared for his life or the possibility of life-altering injuries.

The heart-pounding saga continued as he witnessed Jade's own descent, with a miraculous twist that saw her body wrapped around a tree mid-fall.

In the midst of crisis, Dan managed to call 000 for help, describing their dire situation and the urgent need for a helicopter rescue. Three and a half hours passed before they saw any sign of help, enduring mild hypothermia during their ordeal.

Finally, rescue arrived, and they were airlifted to the hospital. The shocking revelation followed—Jade had broken her neck. As the news crews arrived to cover the story, Dan, realizing he had technically taken a sick day, chose to remain anonymous, denying any involvement.
