24.01.2022 The Beadell Family are very excited about this new product: Too Long in the Bush: The Shepparton Talk with Pictures. We have been working hard on this for many months and the day has finally arrived we can offer it for advanced sales from lenbeadell.com.au/shop or follow the direct link at the bottom of this post. Len's well known 'The Shepparton Talk' has been reproduced in a DVD format and has now been set to pictures, by his oldest daughter Connie, many of the photographs... are from the family collection and never before published. The photographs, depicting the story as being told by Len, scroll through to enhance the story and give greater understanding of Len's experiences during his time in the Australian Outback. The DVD is $33 +p&h and is expected to arrive in our shop during the first week of December and it will be shipped as soon as possible after that date. However, it is not possible to guarantee it will arrive before Christmas due to the delays being experienced by Australia Post. www.lenbeadell.com.au//too-long-in-the-bush-the-shepparton
23.01.2022 *Personal post* We are selling our Complete Campsite Off-Road Camper Trailer due to now having a grown up family and we are looking for something a bit smaller. It has been tried and tested on the Anne Beadell and Connie Sue Highways where it performed amazingly. Please message Jacqui Beadell with any enquiries or follow the link for more information. This off road camper trailer has been finished with an attention to detail and amazing build quality, ergonomic design and lux...ury fittings. It has been very well looked after and is in excellent condition. www.caravancampingsales.com.au//2011-Comple/SSE-AD-6707942
22.01.2022 More than two-thirds of the South Australian Dog Fence (1,600 kilometres) is over 100 years old. Kangaroos, emus, wombats, feral camels and wild dogs have degraded many sections. A new fence will reduce the impacts of wild dogs on South Australia’s $4.3 billion livestock industry by keeping wild dogs out of pastoral lands.

20.01.2022 The 5,400 kilometre dog fence protects sheep industry from wild dogs and dingoes. At 2,150 kilometres long, The South Australian Dog Fence stretches from the Great Australian Bight to the New South Wales border. More than two-thirds of the South Australian Dog Fence (1,600 kilometres, red sections in map below) is over 100 years old. ... The photo below shows the section along the Anne Beadell Highway, taken 2018. The rebuild will take up to 5 years and as part of the procurement, there is a preference for South Australian businesses and Australian-made products. Holding the Line: A history of the South Australian Dog Fence Board, 19472012 by Leith Yelland, describes the history of the Dog Fence Board and was commissioned to mark the centenary of the Federation of South Australia. This history records the impact of dingos on the State's sheep industry and the measures undertaken by pastoralists and government to mitigate these impacts.

01.01.2022 On 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent after four years of continuous warfare. We recognise the contribution of all those who serve/have served and have provided support or assistance in the war and peace keeping efforts. We remember and give our gratitude and prayers for all who have fallen. Photos show Len kneeling on the right hand side with members of the Eighth Field Survey Section, Port Moresby, 1942 and in his Army uniform.... Lest we forget
