Huge Thank You to Tim, Alana and all the Staff and Customers of the Loaded Dog Hotel

Before Covid hit the Loaded Dog Hotel was holding Friday night raffles every week to raise funds for our community organisations. Representatives from the Tarago Bushfire Brigade and the Tarago Public School Parents & Citizens Association attended the Hotel to receive much welcome funds (and had a delicious lunch) that had been raised at the Friday night raffles plus donations to the Tarago Bushfire Brigade during the 19/20 bushfire season. I spoke with Tim Long the Leasee of the Loaded Dog Hotel and the ideas man behind the Friday night raffles and he was hopeful that the Friday nIght raffles could recommence in the near future. He said that the raffles had been very well received by the Hotel customers and that they had been very generous in their purchases and donations to the local community. The raffles had been run by the Hotel staff when volunteers from the community organisations couldn’t make it that Friday night. We are very fortunate to have such a great local business providing this hospitality service in our community and to have their support especially in these trying times. A huge thank you to everyone involved from all the members of the Tarago Bushfire Brigade and the Tarago Public School P&C.

It was only in recent years that the travel bug bit. The couple purchased a caravan and travelled to outback Queensland and Victoria’s Great Ocean Road.

Thank you to those who donate goods. At this time of the year we especially need warm clothing and blankets The other day I was speaking with a lady on the phone which can be dropped off to Judy Alcock at Tarago Real and when she asked what organisation I was calling on Estate on Braidwood Road. behalf of I told her the CWA.

Which leads me to ask, have you ever really wondered what CWA is all about? I can tell you that the Country Women’s Association was formed in 1922. Its aims are to improve the conditions for country women and children and to try to make life better for women and their families, especially those women living in rural and remote Australia. The organisation is self-funded, nonpartisan and non-sectarian. The Country Women’s Association of Australia (CWA or CWAA) is the largest women’s organisation in Australia with 44,000 members across 1855 branches. In NSW we have 8000 members across 400 branches making the CWA of NSW the largest CWA body in Australia and also making it the largest advocacy group for rural, regional and remote people in NSW. CWA Delegates are appointed to the Associated Country Women of the World which has a membership of 9 million in over 70 countries who engage with and advocate for women at local, national and international levels – interesting don’t you think?

Modelled on nature, rotational from https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/small-landholders- grazing seeks to ensure animals graze lightly through an western-australia/rotational-grazing-small-landholders area and are then moved on leaving only their manure Katherine Thatcher behind. Heavily grazed pastures continually place President Tarago Landcare pressure on the most palatable plants decreasing stock holding capacity whereas rotational grazing improves soil health and biodiversity allowing pastures to recover more quickly.

This concept can be taken further by rotating the animal species which takes full advantage of biological diversity and can assist in weed management and control. Cattle, sheep, goats and pigs all prefer different plants and graze in different ways. Multi-species rotational grazing ensures different plants are targeted at different times and then given a period of time to rest and recover. In nature, the process is completed by large flocks of birds that normally follow grazing herds, feeding on the insects and parasites left behind. By adding chickens to a rotational plan, they mimic this natural behaviour, reducing parasite load across the pastures and further stimulating plant growth through additional fertilisation
