In a world facing climate change, rising populations, and resource scarcity, the value of land has never been more apparent.

Strategic thinking in rural communities

July 30, 2025July 30, 2025

Rural communities are often celebrated for their resilience and adaptability, especially in the face of uncertainty. Unlike urban areas, where resources may be more abundant and accessible, rural regions must rely on a combination of tradition, community strength, and strategic thinking to survive—and thrive—when circumstances change without warning. This article explores how rural communities apply […]

  • Road Tripping
    We are back after a week of road tripping around the Victorian Goldfields. It’s one of those things we had been meaning to do with the kids, and about four weeks before the winter break, I said to CB that we should just go. Work however, was just too busy for me to even consider planning anything,… Read more: Road Tripping

  • My First Crochet Beanie
    I’ve been working on a crochet blanket for a while now, but I’m waiting on another ball of wool to arrive from Bendigo Woolen Mills before I can finish it (I ran out half way through the border – of course). In the meantime, I’ve been meaning to have a go at a crochet beanie… Read more: My First Crochet Beanie
  • Around The Farm | Summer 2016
    Well we are well and truly back into everyday life after the fun of the summer holidays. Over the break we managed to take the camera out and snap quite a few pics around the farm. After lots of warm weather the grass is looking brown and dusty, and whenever the sheep are driven past… Read more: Around The Farm | Summer 2016
  • The News In Brief
    We’re back in the thick of school and work after the summer break. In some ways it seems as though we never stopped, but despite the busyness of the start of the year we are feeling refreshed. Over the summer we stopped to pick some wild plums growing on the sides of the road. They… Read more: The News In Brief
