19.01.2022 Another 'then' and 'now' shot.....dry pic was taken about 22 September 2019 and the greener pic was taken last week - after about 90mml rain here between then and now....nice to see the green respond so quickly and really hoping there is more rain still on the cards for everyone who needs it before the cool sets in.....

17.01.2022 Little Phil weighed about 380gm when he was rescued and brought to Goondicum for care....and last night he weighed in at just over 1kg! He is going well and loves his late lactation milk. (Echidnas dont have nipples, rather they secrete the milk from 'patches'. So this means we have to mimic how he would feed from mum, by gently squirting the milk onto Rob's palm so Phil can suck it up with his snout). Noisy eater!

16.01.2022 Another little winner! It's been 5 months or so since Phil the Echidna arrived at Goondicum as an orphaned puggle....today he is strong and healthy and will start to embark on a slow release back into the bush where he belongs! Here is short video of his journey over these last 5 months....

16.01.2022 Always good to keep some photos of the 'greener' times! The dry photo taken this week also shows the smokey haze we've had in our region recently. Good to look at the contrast and remember that once the rains arrive we know the land will respond quickly and we will see the green again!

15.01.2022 This amazing Regent Bower Bird was spotted here at Goondicum last week while our guys were mustering! Our guys were lucky (and observant) enough to see the flash of yellow and black and managed to catch these photos. Thanks - good eyes Luke! This little guy had 3 females with him. . BirdLife Australia WildlifePhotography National Geographic Australia Apparently this species has given rise to one of the rarest birds in Australia a hybrid of the regent and satin species, which has only ever been photographed twice.

08.01.2022 Washing on the line? Who cares when it is finally raining. A nice and much needed shower here this afternoon. Just hoping everyone else who so desperately needs rain is going to get some soon.

08.01.2022 Meet lucky little Phil ! A puggle Echidna rescued by a great Monto local last week, brought to Goondicum where he will be cared for and rehabilitated until he is strong enough and old enough to be released back into the bush.... to do what Echidnas do

08.01.2022 Well done to BMRG! You guys work so hard and do such amazing work for our beautiful region Burnett Mary Regional Group for Natural Resource Management Sussan Ley MP

03.01.2022 Great to recently share our Brangus beef with Bundaberg locals and visitors to the region, and share our story about wildlife-friendly beef. It was cooked to perfection and served by Artisan Barbecue who link latin-american style cooking techniques with sustainably produced Australian food. These guys are amazing and add a whole new (and very tasty!) dimension to BBQ'ing! Australian Brangus Cattle Association The Australian Brangus

02.01.2022 Goondicum is proud to be a supporter of the Monto Legends Shave. We know our blokes in Monto are built tough and compassionate...especially Gerry Morgan...a Monto icon and a great bloke who is helping to raise funds for men's health! In times of drought in this region we all know someone who is doing it tough - so if you can, get out there to Grand Hotel, Saturday night 30 Movember and support Gerry and mens' health! Cant wait to see the before and afters lol! Movember Aust...ralia Monto's Grand Hotel The Australian Brangus https://www.gofundme.com/f/monto-legends-shave

01.01.2022 Thanks to The Australian Brangus for sharing this story with our fellow Brangus breeders!
