Episode 19 - Bearing Up (Charles Sturt)

July 28, 2022 • Junction Journalism

This month's episode was produced by journalism students at Charles Sturt University. The range of stories emphasises the challenges right now, particularly for rural and regional communities. If it's not the pandemic, it's the threat of varroa mite and foot and mouth disease. And then there's the damage of months of heavy rainfall. We hear how communities are dealing with a relentless wave of threats to livelihoods.
