24.01.2022 We are super excited about a new product to our current range. We've had a few people trialing it and they are all just loving this shampoo.

24.01.2022 Why Does Honey Crystallise? It is a common occurrence in household pantries. It’s probably winter, and the jar of honey that once contained molten golden honey ...has suddenly changed and become whiteish and semi-solid. This crystallisation is normal, but is usually met by distaste, as the honey-owner feels that their jar of delicious syrupy joy has suddenly spoiled. However, this process is natural, as real raw honey does crystallise. In fact, it reflects your honey is natural and good quality. In nature, honey often crystallises, or sets, in the comb. It is a spontaneous and completely natural process that sees unheated honey become more solid, change colour and form crystals. The process is not always uniform, and sometimes the crystals will form on the top section of the honey jar, while the bottom part remains liquid. Some crystals are large and gritty, while some others are fine. So, how does this occur? Honey is a supersaturated solution of three sugars: glucose and fructose and a small amount of sucrose. This natural phenomenon occurs when glucoseone of three main sugars in honeyspontaneously precipitates out of the honey solution. The glucose loses water (becoming glucose monohydrate) and takes the form of a crystal (a solid body with an orderly structure). The crystals make a lattice formation which immobilises other components of honey in a suspended structure, creating the semi-solid crystal state. The faster honey crystallises, the finer the texture will be, and as it forms crystals, the colour of the honey lightens. Despite this looking strange, there is actually no effect on the honey itself; it will still taste the same and has not deteriorated in quality in any way. Actually, this process works in the opposite way, preserving the flavour and quality of the product. As the taste becomes richer in this form, and the substance’s higher viscosity means it is easier to spread, crystallised honey is sometimes preferred by consumers, and asked for in certain recipes. It is the perfect consistency to spread on toast or sandwiches! However, if you want to reverse your honey back to its original liquid form, the honey jar can be placed in a pot of warm water and heated to a low heat until liquid again. Alternatively, the jar can just be left in a bowl of hot water for a long period of time, not on the stove element. A quick blast in the microwave for a couple 15 second intervals can also help reverse the crystal forms. Despite this returning your honey to the way it was originally, honey will re-crystallise if not used quickly. Do not despair or throw your honey away as this is when honey is (debatably) at its best and most flavoursome. See more

24.01.2022 FEEDING DOES MATTER! With the recent death of Mrs.C in the Mission Beach area the time has come for the people of Far North QLD who live amongst this iconic key...stone species to do something to change a pattern that has existed for way too long. There is undoubted evidence to suggest that Cassowaries will roam from their natural rainforest environment into urban areas for an easy feed on domestic fruits left out by humans that think they are doing them a favour, like having them around, hope they will be there when relatives visit and many other reasons. Mrs. C was unfortunately known for all the wrong reasons and her habitat was in fact a false environment created by the people who fed her. As you will see in the image and confirmed by Tropical Vet Services who carried out her autopsy it revealed not one skerrick of native fruits or any native matter at all only bananas, cut pears and other domestic fruits eaten that morning just before her death. The third image shows a comparison to what it should look like. There are many causes of wildlife deaths but this is one area that we can all work together and do something about today, it doesn't require spending money, it doesn't require Govt departments, letters to ministers it requires the people that genuinely care about the Cassowary to Stop Feeding Cassowaries so that they have a better chance of roaming for food in their own natural way and in return reducing the amount of road crossings these beautiful animals have to encounter. Another part of this is the disturbing amount of photos that appear where Cassowaries of all ages are at residents back doors looking for handouts, this in turn can lead to others hoping for a similar experience and so the problem manifests. Also it is quite remarkable that no one has been seriously injured as although generally placid it is more good luck than good management that this has not occurred. WE have attended hundreds of wildlife incidents and it is very alarming to see and hear from people the reasons they leave out food and water for Cassowaries, you are not caring for them or protecting them you are contributing to their demise. Please all try to do something about this situation and share to all to get this very important message out! Let our wildlife be wild!

18.01.2022 It is not commonly understood that having very small amounts of phosphate in laundry powders allows exceptional cleaning performance, and is often kinder to the environment than the fillers and building agents used to replace the phosphates in other brands. The small amount of phosphate used in Euca is actually food grade and readily degradable. The percentage of phosphate used in Euca Laundry Powder is below the Australian Standards considered environmentally responsible. Remember farmers add phosphate to soil to maintain a healthy growing environment.

14.01.2022 Some plastic takes five years to break down, others take five hundred years or more, but even then, it won't decompose into useful nutrients, it just turns into... infinitely smaller pieces of plastic, which - according to Popular Science - act like magnets in the water, attracting toxic substances.

13.01.2022 A new report published in the UK by The Wildlife Trusts and authored by a University of Sussex Professor sets out examples of how we can halt insect decline, wh...ile asking people, not just farmers but in every part of society, to become 'insect champions'. Reversing the decline of insects cites examples of farmers, communities, councils and charities that are boosting insect populationsand proving that it can be done. The report comes at a critical time. There is ongoing evidence for insect declines and the future of insectsand all life that depends on themhangs in the balance as trade deals in the UK and around the world threaten to increase the use of insect-harming pesticides. Insect populations and Biodiversity of all species is impacted by the way we manage the land we are all stewards of..
