A recent 'sea change' decision by Andrew and his wife Kim Revell to join the macadamia industry on the Far North Coast has put into play one of the Namoi Valley's top-performing cotton farms.

Wire Lagoon, a highly-developed irrigation farm of 738 hectares (1824ac), has been held by the Revell family for 16 years. 

On July 25, it will go to auction in Narrabri with Landmark Harcourts.

Andrew and Kim Revell originally bought their Alstonville macadamia farm as a diversification move, but they became so attracted to the area that they now plan to up stumps and relocate.

It wasn't an easy decision, as the Revell family has been part of the Wee Waa farming scene since 1970. 

It was at that time they moved to the Namoi Valley from Kununurra in Western Australia. 

Andrew's parents, David and Helen, originally orchardists at Box Hill (Victoria), had been among the first wave of farmers selected to take up irrigation blocks in 1962 on the Ord River Scheme. 

After seven pioneering years on the Ord, they were drawn to the new cotton growing area then opening up at Wee Waa, where they started sharefarming.

The Narrabri Community College is bringing the Accidental Counsellor: 2 Day CCWT Workshop to Narrabri on the 21 and 22 August. 

Workers who are not employed as counsellors often find themselves placed in an impromptu counselling role as a result of issues or requests for help that arise from contact with clients in their workplace setting. They feel they can’t refuse to help, but how do they respond?

This highly participative workshop will provide participants with a wealth of frameworks, information and skills development opportunities so that they can respond with increased skills and confidence.

Book directly with CCWT on https://www.ccwt.edu.au/course/CLNT03 to secure your place.
