24.01.2022 Farmers use massive crop transplanters to quickly plant their fields (via In The Know Innovation)
21.01.2022 Airborne releases of Sterile Fruit Flies Queensland fruit fly (Qfly) populations in the region will be disrupted by the release of sterile Queensland fruit fli...es in Cobram as part of a national Hort Innovation project. Approximately 2 million sterile Qfly per week will be released over about 16 square kilometres by a specialised small plane in the next few months. Cobram was selected as a release site due to its existing intensive trapping grid, the proximity of horticulture to the town, and support for the project from growers, Moira Shire Council, Berrigan Shire Council, and the Goulburn Murray Valley (GMV) Regional Fruit Fly Project. The release of the sterile flies is part of a multi-pronged strategy that includes surveillance trapping, baiting, removal of unwanted or unmanaged host trees, and an extensive community awareness and education campaign. The sterile flies are grown to the pupal stage in Port Augusta, then sterilised at Netley before being shipped to special rear-out facilities in NSW and Victoria where the sterile adult flies emerge from the pupal case and are ‘conditioned’ ready for release. The Victorian rear-out facility is at Tatura. The first sterile pupae arrived in Tatura from the breeding facility in South Australia, on 13 March, and the first release of sterile flies over Cobram is planned for today provided weather conditions are suitable. The plane releasing sterile flies will make a limited number of passes over the Cobram urban area in a single flight, once a week during March through until approximately the end of May. Sterile flies will be colour-coded by presence of a special dye visible under ultraviolet light, to distinguish them from wild flies in traps. See more

03.01.2022 Number 7 Operational Training Unit at Tocumwal operated the P-40 Kittyhawk as a fighter attack trainer for B-24 Liberator crews learning air-to-air gunnery tact...ics and operations. After WW2, a number of Kittyhawks were sent to Tocumwal for disposal and destruction, like hundreds of other wartime aircraft were. We're excited to have a number of P-40 Kittyhawks returning to the skies of Tocumwal at the Tocumwal Airshow on Saturday the 14th of September 2019. Alan Arthur from Albury and Classic Air Adventures from Wangaratta will be participating in the display with their P-40s and we're hopeful of having another! Classic Air
