LAST CHANCE to come on a cinematic journey around the world to learn more about our relationship with rivers, with a free screening of the documentary RIVER this Wed 26 August from 5.30PM at Holbrook Library.

Throughout history, rivers have shaped our landscapes and our journeys and influenced our cultures. RIVER takes the audience on a journey spanning six continents, showing rivers at scales and perspectives never seen before. It honours the wildness of rivers while recognising their vulnerability.

Narrated by Willem Dafoe and scored by the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the film invites us to witness rivers as powerful, living forces connecting all life.

Tickets available via Humantix: https://events.humanitix.com/screening-of-documentary-river

The screening of River is part of the Refreshing Rivers program, a collaboration between government, industry, research, and community organisations, led by Local Land Services. This Program has been assisted by the New South Wales Government through its Environmental Trust.

The Third Case Study for our Tropical pasture project is now available – Henty-2, "Terlinga". The Henty-2 demonstration site is extra interesting, with an added component of Serradella.

Key points
• Tropicals provide better utilisation of summer rainfall for pasture production.
• Over-sowing with Serradella provides year-round pasture growth.
• Premier Digit grass grows quickly after rain when soil temperatures are warm.
• Good option for marginal lower-fertility hill country.
• Large crowns of Premier Digit grass stabilise gravel soils.

Webinar tomorrow 9-10am 👇 Focussing on our local area

🌱 Is spring running ahead of you?

With warm conditions pushing pasture and crop growth along earlier than usual, now is the time to think about what a potentially short, warm and dry “bob-tail” spring could mean for your grazing plans.

Join Murray Local Land Services for a FREE one-hour webinar looking at the latest Farming Forecaster outlooks and practical strategies to make the most of available soil moisture and keep quality feed in the paddock.

📅 Tuesday 18 August, 9:00–10:00 am
💻 Online via Microsoft Teams
🎟️ FREE

We’ll cover what local Farming Forecaster sites and soil moisture probes are telling us, pasture and crop maturity and fodder quality, grazing options to prolong quality growth, and what you can do if spring closes out early.
