Fishin and Huntin

This last week I was lucky enough to get an invitation to some exclusive access to camping, fishing and shooting on a property called Beemery. Beemery Station is a 40,558 ha (100,221 acre) farm near Bourke and is situated on the Barwon River and the Kamilaroi Highway between Bourke and Brewarrina. The Barwon, Bogan and Culgoa rivers combine to form the Darling river here. We got some fish, masses of big yabbies and goats and pigs.

Hermione's New Collar

Hermione got a new collar from the U.S. hand made by Kippy & Co. I found them on ETSY. Etsy is a quality handmade marketplace where very small businesses can make some money while making the world more fair, more sustainable, and more fun.
