Danielle Andersson represented RuralBiz at the NSW Landcare Conference which was held in Broken Hill during October.
She caught up with lots of our current and former students and chatted with some future students about our
courses in community coordination and facilitation that have been written especially for Landcare coordinators - if you want info about these courses give us
a shout! She also caught up on the latest in ecosystem management which will help update our natural resource
management units. We were delighted to offer a newsletter sign up prize of a BioMe gift voucher, won by Mason
Crane from Sustainable Farms ANU.

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!
Finally Some Rain! Now, we all know we're in the grip of a devastating drought, and not everyone was fortunate
enough to be under this weather system but over the last week, heavy rain across parts of Queensland and New
South Wales has given a little bit of hope. And farming families are celebrating the only way they know how.
I know a lot of you would have seen this but we love a 'cheeky' bit of rain footage.
