Firsthand experience of drought and an understanding of the toll it can take on farming businesses, bank balances and emotional well-being was the catalyst for a series of Dealing with the Dry: Farm management options during and after drought forums being run across northern New South Wales next month. Initiated by Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) Grower Relations Manager Susan McDonnell, the forums aim to deliver practical advice ranging from how to talk about debt with your bank manager, to accessing government services and identifying and supporting mental health issues. A grain grower herself, Mrs McDonnell said the GRDC Dealing with the Dry forums would be run in small communities across NSW and were focused on delivering genuinely helpful information directly to those in need. “Unfortunately, like many people involved in rural industries, I know only too well the impact of drought. It can be extremely demoralising and leave you wondering how you will get through both from a financial and psychological perspective,” she said.

Gloucester's Lyn Stewart had a niggling interest in researching her family history.
Like many Australians, her family tree has a range of convicted criminals, which was partly what first piqued her interest. But it was chasing down that tale of her great great grandmother, Margaret Murphy which inspired her to write a book.
She started researching her relative by first acquiring Margaret's death certificate as it provided details of her date of death, the date and location of her birth, and the names of her parents.

Writing for Social Media & Community Advocacy workshop
This practical, hands on 3.5-hour training session is pivotal to everything - promotion of community events & organisations, small business promotion, advertising, social media strategies, media releases, community advocacy.
Writing for Social Media builds on the ‘building online communities’ training* we did in March and will give you real-time experience writing effective social media posts for specific target audiences, i.e. how to say the same thing 5 (or 10 or 20) different ways, as well as the opportunity to plan a basic digital media campaign.
These skills are also excellent for anyone who needs to speak out about, or advocate for, issues or community concerns that are important to them - grassroots organisations, rural businesses, entrepreneurs, change agents, political aspirants.
