I'd like to acknowledge the traditional owners of these lands, the Awabakal people, on which we gratefully get to live and learn today.
I also acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and pay my respects to any elders listening in the past, present and emerging.
Today we sat down with an Australian world bodybuilding icon, Lee Priest.
Lee, a local Novacastrian, started bodybuilding at the age of 13 as a very shy teenager. By the age of 19, he was a 3x Mr Australia and, after being given his pro-card, lived the next 18 years in the U.S.A.
Lee was known for his freakish body and for standing up for what's right in the sport, resulting in him sitting out seasons and losing sponsorships, all in an effort to see that athletes deemed to be 'pros' were actually treated that way.
Lee also went to to win world championships in top fuelled drag car races, and shares stories of sitting in a 5 layer fire suit in and out of season.
