The family farm
By Richard Snashall · 7 mins · From My Back Roads


Drought is usually the first thing most of us think of when it comes to the hardships of primary producers. But there is another subject that many people in the bush don’t want to touch, formalised succession planning for the family farm.
After a bitter experience within her immediate family that left once close relationships broken, Julie Armstrong was determined not to let this happen with her three adult children and the 17,000 acre family property, Corynnia Station, in the NSW Riverina.
Julie and husband Bruce tackled succession planning head on and sought external help which they said was tremendous. Today each of their children know exactly where the other stands.
Daughters Bella and Daisy live away from Corynnia Station while son Hamish has returned with a degree in Agribusiness to live and work on the farm - as a paid contractor.
Bruce, Julie and Hamish generously shared story and urge other farming families around the country not to ignore the inevitable.

We had these guys join us today along with three more of their feathered friends. It must have been amusing watching us do some work. Seems like spring has arrived.

When you go looking for plants , but just follow a butterfly around the garden shop, close call with gardening ... summer is coming.

Cicadas

Every eight or nine years cicada emerge from the soil and take to the air in search of a mate. This is one of the great natural events of the Australian bush but is not a silent affair, and best experienced at a distance.

A story about me mate, Russell
By ringhole · · From Pic of the Week
I was just standing there dumbfounded watching and listening to him absolutely froth.
So much so that I had to keep wiping my face - you know when someone’s talking to you and a bit of spit flies out of their mouth and lands on your face? Yeah, it was that times 27.
Things like this happen when your mate Russell is a waterfall.
