Kathy Kelly, MP Matt Burnell and Carolyn Hall braving the cold winds at the Farms in early September!

The work of the Mulloon Institute continues apace.

We recently hosted International Nuffield Scholars, ACT NRM and Upper Lachlan Landcare, The Scots College and Canberra Grammar School to the Home Farm and we have conducted field days and contour grading schools in Bombala, in Barham in the Western Murray and the Northern Territory.

Carolyn has sat on stage with Rachel Ward (for a special screening of Rachel’s film, Rachel’s Farm) in Canberra as well as attending the Northern Australia Food Futures Conference hosted by the Northern Territory Farmers Association (NT Farmers).

I was interviewed by local ABC radio at the 2023 Regenerative Rangelands conference on the Mulloon Institute’s work and our problems with environmental regulations. The interview can be heard on the ‘North West and Western Queensland Rural Report’ from 4 minutes onwards.

Jono Forrest spoke with the Secrets of the Soil podcast with Regen Ray on working with landholders to understand their values and goals, and the motivations behind landscape rehydration.

Carolyn, Kathy and Jono hosted Mr Matt Burnell MP for Spence in SA, and member of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Agriculture, Inquiry into food security in Australia at Mulloon in early September. This followed Carolyn providing a submission and giving evidence to the broader committee on the need for healthy functioning biodiverse landscapes for food security in the face of climate change. We look forward to the report from the Inquiry and Mr Burnell spreading the word about our work with his political colleagues.

This is just a snippet of what we have been up to.
