This is a great opportunity for the community to learn more about the disaster preparedness project, our Table Talk method and how to host productive conversations about disaster preparedness.

The Atlas of Life Great Southern Bioblitz - October 22 - 25th
2021-10-22 - 2021-10-25 | NSW
This year between the 22-25th October, join the Atlas of Life in Australia and 14 other countries in the largest scale citizen science biodiversity survey in the southern hemisphere!
Using the iNaturalist platform, the Great Southern Bioblitz (GSB) is an opportunity to participate in a large, global biodiversity survey.
The Atlas of Life has signed our area up and we will be promoting the event and several special focus activities, like a moth night, a parrot prize and a Sea Slug Census during the 3 days of the Bioblitz.
The GSB was born from the desire to have a springtime survey of biodiversity for us, down south during a time of year we know is abounding with emerging life. Flowers are blooming, insects take wing, and birds call for mates.
Each time an observation is made, it will be identified and used as a data point for that species creating a valuable piece of scientific data which can be accessed for all sorts of important biological research.
This is only the second GSB. Last year the organisers were astounded by the participation in this project’s first year. Their humble expectations of perhaps just a few locations around Australia getting involved were blown away, with many more people from around the world joining in to observe their local biodiversity.
This year there is an even stronger participation in the GSB, with already 96 local areas signed up from across 14 countries.
We hope to have a number of get together mini-blitzes at different places, and we are also promoting the idea of backyard biodiversity surveys. Given the ongoing pandemic, participant safety is our priority. The beauty of the GSB is that everyone can participate even if restrictions are in place, and travel is not possible. You can do it either solo or in a group.
All you need is an iNaturalist account, a device to take photos of wildlife, and all the enthusiasm you can muster. Our Moderators and Identifiers will be there to help you identify the species you record.
Visit the Atlas of Life iNaturalist page and the Atlas Great Southern Bioblitz page and keep an eye out on our Atlas Facebook page for up to date news and information about activities near you.

International Day of Rural Women – Friday 15 October, 2021
2021-10-15 | Rural Aid
In partnership with GRO Events Group, Rural Aid invites you to join us for our 2021 event for The International Day of Rural Women: GRIT – a virtual morning tea with Catherine Marriott.
The most recent statistics from the Australian Government census in 2016 indicated that 32% of the Australian agriculture workforce are women. Following years of drought, flood, fire and now COVID-19, Australian women across the rural and agricultural landscape have acted as pillars of strength. Not only have they contributed to on- and off-farm income, they have managed households (completing 13% more work than other women in Australia), supported friends and family, juggled kids and work, and given extensively to their communities, all often unrecognised.
What do we think is the key ingredient here? Grit.
We all know a rural woman like this, and the International Day of Rural Woman is the perfect time to celebrate and acknowledge this trait.
Join us at 10.30am via Zoom on Friday 15 October to celebrate the International Day of Rural Women.
Hosted by Dimity from GRO Events Group, you will hear a live Q&A from the inspiring and incredible Catherine Marriott, CEO of Riverine Plains, UNE’s 2019 Distinguished Alumni Award winner, a graduate of the Australian Rural Leadership Program and the 2012 WA Rural Women of the Year. Catherine, as someone who always speaks from the heart, will share her experiences of grit – her work and personal life and everything she has learnt along the way.
During the virtual morning tea, you will also hear from our own Lauren Stracey (Manager Mental Health and Wellbeing) and Heidi Gray (Counsellor & Community Representative – Northern New South Wales) from Rural Aid to hear about the incredible projects and support they are rolling out across the country to support rural communities.

We hope to see you there.

Eden Whale Festival 2021 - Cancelled
2021-10-15 - 2021-10-17 | NSW
The Eden Whale Festival Committee have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Eden Whale Festival which was scheduled to be held from 15 – 17th October 2021. This is due to the current circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and general uncertainty regarding when stay-at-home orders will be lifted.
We understand how important the festival is to the local community, and how much everyone was looking forward to this event after having been cancelled last year, however the health and wellbeing of our community is paramount. Unfortunately, we couldn’t delay the decision any longer, due to the amount of planning required for an event such as this.
In the coming days we will contact stall holders who have pre-paid for their sites and offering refunds. We will also approach our sponsors and anyone else who has provided financial support in anticipation of the festival going ahead.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to seeing you at the 2022 Eden Whale Festival!
For further information please email pr@edenwhalefestival.com.au

Grab a sausage sizzle or bacon and egg roll for breakfast. Catch up with friends on the back deck over an amazing selection of homemade cakes and pastries, with a plunger coffee or chai from our morning tea stall, all while listening to live, local music.
