We’re not ones for small talk, but its always good to share lessons learnt with good mates. So Gondwana Link CEO Keith Bradby ended up in Maleny, with our colleagues from Hinterland Bush Links, including the energetic Susie Duncan, swapping notes on what’s different and whats the same between the Queensland rainforest and WA’s kwongan, mallee and woodlands (hint; there’s good people doing their best on both sides of Australia, but Maleny can have 3/4 metre of rain in a weekend – that weekend in fact). The opportunity to visit came after the National Landcare Conference, included a larger chat with a hall full of enthusiastic Bush Linkers and a walk in the rainforests during, yep, the rain.
