    News of January 2016

    Dear Kachana-Friends,

    We hope you had a good start to 2016.

    • What doers 2016 have in store for us?
    • “Taxi”, Bob’s new helper. (Bob thought it a good idea to be able to call out for a taxi… especially when stranded in the bush.)
    • Making a plan…
    • When things go wrong we simply look around…
    • Not a bad place to be stranded after all…
    • Another new arrival for middle level management
    • Praying for rain…
    • Evening-time during the wet season

    Kachana had the driest January (view bar-graph) we can remember with a total of 140mm rain (74mm of which fell on the last day!), bringing the season’s sub-total to 407mm.

    The thorough soaking we got end of January lifted the moral for man, beast, vegetation and soil!

    Each season is different, but at least on Kachana we do get rain.

    We simply need to get better at managing what drops out of the sky.

     

    All the best until next time,

     

     

    Greetings from Kachana

     

     

    Link of the Month: 

    For those who missed it, last year was “the year of the soil”. Why is soil important?

    Here is a 5 minute video-clip to share with friends and especially with young people. (Some of you may have already watched it, I know I have… at least six times…)
