On Thursday we visited Calmsley Hill City Farm in Western Sydney. It was interesting to join a local excursion with Year 1 students exploring Australian food and fibre production!
We took the scenic route home and called into The Stick Shed at Murtoa.
The Stick Shed was built over four months in the 1940s as an emergency grain store during WWII. It is the only remaining shed of this type today and covers 16,000m2 under roof (or 1.6 hectares)! Next door, is the current GrainCorp Murtao Grain Receival Centre which can hold up to 400,000 tonnes, making it the largest inland receival centre in Australia. We had a great week in Victor Harbour at the National Agricultural Educators Conference.
We enjoyed meeting ag teachers from across Australia. And exploring the diversity of agriculture on the Fleurieu Peninsula from sheep, dairy and seafood, to mushrooms, olives and berries. Wishing all our friends and followers a wonderful festive season filled with love and laughter... and a little LEGO!
Our Calendars are back for 2024... showcasing agriculture and travel around the world!
We partnered with Words with Heart for our printing again. And each calendar funds an education day for women and girls in the developing world. To purchase yours, please visit our online store. Great to speak with VCAL Agriculture students at Galen Catholic College in Wangaratta today about careers in ag, and our Nuffield Australia journey.
It's World Food Day!
Today also kicks off the World Food Forum virtually and at the FAO Headquarters in Rome. Our travel plans have changed, so we're joining in from home (through the night taking into account timezones). |
