Great article about Woorabinda Aboriginal Shire Council’s Wattle Seed project.

Spent today travelling down 150km of unsealed road in the Bulloo Shire in far south western Queensland. The road stretches from Noccundra down to the on the NSW border.

This trip took almost 4 hours one way.

Just over the border the NSW government has spent over $195 million sealing the Silver City Highway and the contrast is huge.

The Bulloo Shire Council completed a study with CSIRO which showed a huge economic boost (2100% increase in agricultural traffic alone) after sealing the Warri Gate Road (extending the Silver City Hwy). The report showed an average saving of $5.60/km/trip for a b-double and even more for triple road trains.

This road will provide vital market access for QLD businesses into NSW and SA.

The Bulloo Shire Council is seeking State and Federal Government support to seal the road at a cost of $7million per year for 10 years.

Please share and show your support for sealing more outback roads.

Congrats to all 10 of the local crew who participated in our recent Strategic Business Planning and Grant Writing workshop held at the Bill Thaiday Centre in Woorabinda.

A joint partnership between Rural & Remote Development Consultants, Many Rivers and the department, these workshops help build the capacity of local businesses and organisations to secure government and non-government grants.

If you're keen to develop your grant writing skills, we'll be holding more workshops in Gladstone, Rockhampton and Woorabinda this year.

Contact the department’s Rockhampton office for more information.

Hanging out beside the mighty Bulloo River.

Council have put in a giant walkway along the river and all around the town with solar powered lights so you can exercise in the cooler part of the day. Clocked up just over 11km today 😊

This is the incredible Sundrop Farms that produces over 70% of Australia’s tomato crop using desalinated water, solar power and three storey high greenhouses. Hoping they do tours one day but the view from outside still leaves you in awe!
