View this morning over looking the Wimmera plains to the east. Proposed VNI-West Transmission lines to rip right through this prime agriculture land. This is Ag land not energy land, producing clean, safe, reliable and affordable food and fibre. #wakeupaustralia

Ambulances from Rainbow, Hopetoun and Dimboola ramped at Wimmera Base hospital for several hours tonight, leaving patients in those towns at risk.

No part of Victoria is immune from ambulance ramping.

It’s a beautiful clear Saturday morning out in the west wimmera. Update…dry sowing continues. Everybody is complaining about stuff breaking on their seeders. Doesn’t seem to matter what colour they are. Fred the wonder pup is having a well earned rest.

Doing my best to make the Vic Wimmera into a pin cushion this week; got 14 EnviroPro SoilProbes to install including some 160cm probes. All thanks to On Farm Connectivity Program, I'm still doing applications for the 50% rebate.

New 462 Stihl power head on my Terratrencher is a step

The transmission plan, VNI West, is more than one line. Powercor now wants more & apparently up to 3 wind farm companies want lines.
Maybe up to 6 lines criss-crossing the Wimmera from Horsham Donald Marnoo Gre Gre St Arnaud Warracknabeal Charton Wallallo Navarre to Bulgana.

Regional Australia is under threat from net zero.

This week, the IPA met with communities in Victoria’s Wimmera where laws are being changed to force transmission lines over farms, threatening the livelihood of families #auspol #springst

The city needs to hear their stories.

Incredible Silo Art in the Wimmera

Painting l did in acrylics a couple years ago. Murtoa railway station in the 1960s. Murtoa, located in the Wimmera region of Victoria, Australia, is where l live. I did this work as a donation for a raffle prize for the local annual art show that raises funds for the museum.

Typical wimmera Malle view.
Tree line approx 20m high
Dooen silos 36m
Proposed transmission lines across vic 80m
Radio transmission tower at Dooen 200m
Then the foreign owned wind turbines covering most of Vic’s farmland.
Image bit rough but pretty much to scale

Still no rain. #Wimmera

The Wimmera is like a has this smear all over it. I think we need some better soap to rub it off

A 51-yr-old Wimmera man is facing 113 charges for allegedly clearing more than 100 trees in Cherrypool SF along his property fence in Feb 2023.
He is also accused of illegal vehicle use, dumping fencing material, and disturbing two native plant species protected by law.

“I am just a dumb farmers wife” had a few ladies come into our stand at the Wimmera field days and start a conversation with this statement. Breaking the ice ?, I hope they don’t believe what they are saying , women are the backbone of Aust Ag.

Several passengers boarded and alighted from the train at here, The Overland makes several stops across the Wimmera. With nine carriages attached, it's one of the busiest trains of the year

Planned burning is set to resume across our region as Forest Fire Management Victoria takes advantage of favourable weather and forest conditions to keep Victoria safer from the threat of bushfires. During Spring 2023, the Wimmera Fuel Management Team and field crews made the
