Beta Bolong North- our 2nd property

Australia Day, a day to reflect on what it means to be Australian and we couldn’t think of a better way to spend it.

This morning our team headed to meet James, a young farmer living with his wife and 4 boys in Beta Bolong North, an area of 5 farmsteads all but one raised to the ground by the fires. James told us how he and his wife were well prepared to protect their property but despite this he lost his home, a 1/3 of his cattle and his contracting business.
