25.01.2022 Congratulations to Barry Hughes, Greg Ryan, Kim Gaynor, and Gillian Hinrichsen newly (re) elected Committee of the Gulf Cattlemans Association (http://www.gulfcattle.org).

25.01.2022 Had a cracker of a visit with Kowanyama Rangers and RISE Kowanyama on the White-bellied Crimson Finch Project. 1 - RISE (Stephen and Karen Dunnell) were super supportive and let us build a bunch of portable fence panels re-using old steel. 2 - Next morning the Rangers loaded up and we went to Red Lily lagoon (protected area) and set up the fence around our first re-veg site. Got excellent advice from senior Rangers and TO's Fitzry and Anzac.... 3 - Special thanks to Ranger coordinator Scott Olds for staying on top of the logistics, to CEO Gary Uhlmann for support for the project.
