November 9th, 2009Barnaby Joyce has an online petition for people to sign, re. the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). It literally only takes a few seconds to sign it.

Interestingly, many of his most famous quotes […]
Willing Workers on Organic Farms (WWOOF)

Sandy Thorne – bush story teller, poet, entertainer & public speaker
July 19th, 2009For the first 7 months of this year I’ve been trapped in the office tackling mountains of administration every day (that’s literally every day, not public-service ‘every day’; i.e. it has been the best part of 7 days a week, including public holidays; except for a couple of days over Easter and a trip away […]
Chopper mustering pilot accident on Rutland Plains Station
June 27th, 2009A mustering chopper pilot was struck by the rotor blade of his R22 on Rutland Plains in mid June, and unfortunately he died at the scene. Apparently he was only in his 20s. Most of these helicopter accidents involve tail rotors, but apparently in this instance it was the overhead rotor. Rutland Plains cattle station […]
