Amazing story about Jenna Brook of Birdsville!

Located on the Queensland–New South Wales border, 1600 kilometres west of Brisbane and 1200 kilometres north of Adelaide, Birdsville is the gateway to the Simpson Desert. It is on the Diamantina River, which flows into Lake Eyre and is in the heart of the rich Channel Country.

The Brook family has been in the area since the late 1800s, with a cattle empire of 3.5 million hectares, producing organic beef in northern South Australia and south-west Queensland. Jenna Brook returned to her Birdsville family in 2011 after university and overseas travel, planning to stay for a month. Twelve years later, she’s still there.

At 35, Jenna owns the Birdsville Roadhouse, has contracts for the post office, Rex airline baggage handling and the container recycling depot, and is the treasurer of the famous Birdsville Race Club. With a passion to share the desert experience, Jenna created and is Race Director of the Simpson Desert Ultra; an event that tests the limits of endurance of runners over 25, 50, 75 or 100 kilometres.

You can be there for your friends by talking to them about their relationships.
You know how your friends will best respond to being challenged on their behaviours. If you see them being disrespectful to a partner or any other woman, pull them up or pull them aside.

Healthy relationships are built on trust, respect, and communication. NRWC promotes resources and education to foster healthy relationships in rural communities. Let’s support love that uplifts, not controls.

Join the 16 Days of Activism and help build communities where women are safe and equal. It all starts with respect.

Love the stories of revival in rural Australia!

For years, Emily Stanton barely noticed the rundown hotel she regularly drove by in her home town. But after a successful small renovation, she and her husband James decided to take on the biggest project of their lives.

Future teachers, University of the Sunshine Coast is calling you!

Check out this excellent article & explore what UniSC had on offer. It’s pretty special when it comes to supporting rural & regional education & educators.

As Australia struggles with teacher shortages outside of major cities, how can more early career teachers be convinced to go to hard-to-staff places? University of the Sunshine Coast initiatives are helping to make a difference.

Seafood waste is being made into fertiliser and a cheese boiler plant runs on wood waste in the small New South Wales town. Could this be the future of sustainability?
