The final boxes are unpacked and the home office is set up, and there’s finally time to take a breather and spread the news - rural reporting is alive and well in Canberra 🗞️
The lease has wrapped in Cowra, so I'm bringing some country back to the bush capital for the next 12-18 months.

I think when my insurance is up for renewal in October I need to see which company offers 3+ repairs in a year because this is a bit much.

At what point can my insurance directly go to Cowra Council for the 2 l chip repairs and likely now 2 windscreen replacements within 12 months ☠️

PBS under threat? Time to share my fave healthcare image! This bad boy has helped me work rurally, get down into the dirt of paddocks and increased productivity because I'm not home sick. 🤧
In the 3 years I've been on dupilumab, I've spent less on PBS scripts than a single non-PBS box.

It's at the point where I'm seeing deer on a daily basis. This is less than 100m from a road, and about 300m from backyards in Cowra.

Six months at The Land today 🤠
From a federal election, to floods and now drought, I've dodged kangaroos, echidnas and snakes, sent one car to the wreckers, made the front page and seen my articles stuck into shop windows. Rural reporting is the best job, and I wouldn't trade it for the world 🐄
