18.01.2022 "Are you bogged mate?" workshops are the brain child of Mary O'Brien - 'the ideas person". The Ideas Woman. Mary is a passionate advocate for agriculture and wa...s raised on the land. She understands the diverse challenges faced by the rural sector. After spending her whole life working in rural and remote Australia, Mary knows country blokes. She’s worked with them, for them, and beside them and mostly importantly she knows how to talk to them. This unique perspective inspired the launch of Are you bogged mate? which is aimed help connect country men with support services and breakdown the stigma associated with seeking help. Don't miss the opportunity to listen to Mary. Book your seat now at one of the 10 FREE breakfast, lunch or dinner workshops to be held throughout Tassie between March 15-18.

08.01.2022 Country Women supporting Orange Sky Australia In September 2019 the members of the Country Women’s Association decided to make Orange Sky their project for the year and have held events to raise much needed funds. With Covid this has proven to be a bit harder than usual but the members persisted and through various methods, including online raffle, and today were able to present over $6000 to Orange Sky. Some branches have also donated funds direct to the organization. Durin...g the lockdown members of CWA have been busy making toiletry bags and filling them, knitting beanies and mittens with these also being presented. Orange Sky Australia is the world’s first free mobile laundry service for people experiencing homelessness and was founded in a Brisbane garage by two 20-year-old mates, Nic and Lucas. In late 2014, the boys installed a couple of washing machines and dryers in the back of their old van and visited parks around Brisbane to wash and dry clothes for free. What started as an idea to improve hygiene standards and restore dignity to people doing it tough has evolved into something much bigger and more powerful. Orange Sky has since expanded to 33 services across the country and has been in strong demand with the Covid crisis. When making the presentation, CWA representative State Vice President Madelaine Thompson acknowledged to work they do and that members of CWA are proud to be able to support such a worthy cause. Due to the Covid Orange Sky will continue to be the project till September 2021 and fundraising will continue. See more
