Quality merino wool jumpers, coats, skirts, blankets

Many are looking for woollen garments or information. So here’s a useful shortlist of some of the better-known retailers and manufacturers, so you can do […]
2019 Ireland & UK farm tour, with optional extension to the Scottish Highlands
March 28th, 2019A classic farming tour of the British Isles – full of intriguing contrasts, fascinating rural history and varied agriculture. From Ireland’s colourful villages on the wild Atlantic coast and England’s neatly stone-fenced fields and thatched cottages, right up to Scotland’s heather-clad hills and wild lochs on the same latitude as Norway.

How to judge rural photography awards & competitions
February 11th, 2019I’m sometimes invited to judge rural photography awards and competitions, which I really enjoy doing. My personal preference is to find and reward the most skilled photographer. A rising tide lifts all boats and I love to see talent and effort recognised while simultaneously promoting regional areas and rural industries. Winning an award can make […]
Townsville Floods
February 7th, 2019I’ve received many queries about the floods in Townsville and frustratingly, there has been a lot of typically inaccurate media reporting by blow-in journalists unfamiliar with geography, what’s typical here and Townsville’s history. Mainly because the genuine care factor – for accuracy regarding northern Australia – is lacking. Townsville is in the dry tropics – […]
