Open Letter: Despite the Dry
Greetings from Bimbadeen! We understand that beef producers across the country are facing very dry conditions this season. Amanda travelled to Blackall last month and saw first-hand some of the challenges facing cattlemen and women in Queensland’s Central West.

Jillaroo, Jackaroo, Bull!
