Rural news and issues across Australia for the week.

  • National Rural News week ending 23/07/2010
  • Rural Reporter for Saturday July 24, 2010
    Months after floodwaters drenched western Queensland the slow moving water is now bringing new life to country in outback New South Wales; we go "live" in the saddle at the Katherine camp draft; and visit a crocodile farm in far north Queensland. We also catch up with a diverse group of women who've gathered to celebrate their love of wool at the Australian Sheep and Wool show.
  • At the mouth of the Murray
    The release of the Murray Darling Basin plan has been delayed until after the federal election, and irrigators are anxious about what it will contain.
