Farmers Day Out
Tallygaroopna

Farmers Day Out was generously funded by the Australian and Victorian Governments in response to the October 2022 flood event which impacted communities in Greater Shepparton.

It was an engaging evening with over 70 community members in attendance. Agronomist Sinead Barker from Meridian Agriculture delivered an insightful presentation covering topics like:

  • How to better prepare paddocks and livestock ahead of time for flood events.
  • The importance of animal welfare after floods.
  • How to identify weeds and strategies to control them after flood events.
  • Strategies for pasture recovery and replanting of pasture including species selection.

Dr Rob Gordon: Recovering after a disaster
10 February 2024

Dr. Rob Gordon returned to Greater Shepparton to share a roast dinner with Bunbartha and surrounding residents at the Tallygaroopna Recreation Reserve. This was an outcome of the Bunbartha Community Recovery Committee and the need to identify and understand the aspects of recovery that we can't see.

We had just under 50 residents attend Rob's presentation which covered recovery themes including:

  • Social capital being your greatest asset in recovery
  • Making decisions in a strong adrenaline state
  • The necessity of pleasure, and leisure in recovery
  • Connecting back to your values and routines in the face of disruption
