I recently received this media release from the organizers of the Deni Ute Muster. I found it slightly amusing considering the “Ute-Gate” scandal that is playing out between our pollies however I wanted to give a fair-dinkum, Aussie event a plug:
Due to the ‘ute-gate’ scandal Deni Ute Muster organizers are extremely concerned that the great Aussie ute will get all the blame!
Festival Director, John Harvie feels that this is the time for Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to get out in to the bush and meet 20,000 plus ute fans at the Deniliquin Ute Muster.

Angus Celebration
The Angus breed celebrated the arrival in 1824 by revealing a historical marker at Bothwell in the Central Highlands of Tasmania on Thursday morning, prior to the Bothwell Calf Sale.
On January 20 1824, eight black cattle, then known as Fifeshires, stumbled off the Triton onto Hobart town wharf after a perilous voyage from Scotland and then embarked on a 75km walk to “Dennistoun”.
Low Stress Stockhandling School at Buckland
After the Low Stress Stockhandling School held at “Malahide” in April last year I’m continually asked “when is the next one?”
Click here to find out more about Low Stress Stockhandling
The LSS Stockhandling School is relevant to all livestock production industries and the people who work within them. Past participants have varied in age from 4 to 73 with skill levels ranging from very experienced and competent stock people through to total beginners. All you need is a willingness to learn.
I am organising this event through my business, Rural Connections, on a not for profit basis. Why you may ask?!?!? Because I’ve participated in this training the past and believe that everyone should do it – it’s fantastic…it will change your paradigms! (and so we all can think about something else other than drought)
Registrations close at 5pm on Friday the 10th of April.
Please feel free to forward this to your family and friends who may also be interested.
