    News of June 2016

    Dear Kachana-Friends,

    With July we officially begin a new season. This is the third driest we have experienced since we, as a family, moved out here in November 1991. (“Dry”, that is for Kimberley standards!)

    Though without the shower in May it might now be more of a challenge. We empathise with those who got a lot less.

    • A small hard-working herd providing environmental services on-site, but also for the benefit of those down-stream (in time as well as in location)
    • Kachana Happy Beef is a by-product of our herd healing the landscape – Mostly our animals are still worth more to us as a land-management-tool than sold or slaughtered
    • New fence-line: fences facilitate the management of herd-movements, but are nowhere near as effective as good herding practices, but they do make life easier!
    • Carbon capture and storage – one of the many benefits of enhancing eco-system function
    • Filling the store-room for the next generation – Wasps know what they need to do!
    • A solid boat is hard to rock
    • We now have a sturdy skeleton for the new shed - THANK YOU to all who contributed!
    • What we now need is a wind-sock…
    • Don’t mess with the fighting trees of Kachana, or you too might lose a limb!

    June was a month filled with activity and achievement. We enjoyed visits from friends and supporters… 

    Thank you for coming and thank you for your support!

    The month sped past...

     

    Enjoy July,
