Trundle ABBA Festival: WiFi services will be stretched with the amount of attendees expected at this year’s Trundle ABBA Festival. Make sure to be prepared with cash before arriving in Trundle to avoid disappointment. Please do not expect to withdraw cash when you arrive in Trundle. We can’t wait to see you all there!

NSW Government Budget Update: Here’s how NSW is managing the 2023-24 State Budget. This budget aims to:

• Build more homes amidst the housing crisis

• Fund more essential workers for our public services

• Revitalise our schools, hospitals, transport and roads

Grazing Down The Lachlan: And that’s a wrap! Thank you so much for coming on the Grazing journey with us for 2023. This event couldn’t happen without the dedicated and passionate committee behind it – thank you so much to Kath Garland, Olivia Turner, Kylie Brockmann, Kim Muffet and (not pictured but equally as important!) Emily Wilson, Emma Ridley and Jill Morgan.
