Life on the Land with Michelle Leonard

Michelle Leonard believes everyone can sing. A self-proclaimed ‘relentless optimist’, the founder of Moorambilla Voices and New South Wales finalist for the AgriFutures Australia Rural Woman’s Award is on a mission to electrify the arts in country Australia and bring music to all.

For the last 18 years, Michelle has left her home in Sydney for nearly six weeks, driving upwards of 4000 kilometres around New South Wales, across 21 Local Government areas to recruit for her various ensembles.

Of the thousands of kids that she coaxes music from, 350 are selected to learn to sing, play drums, to dance and read music – going on to perform throughout the year in venues like Dubbo’s Regional Theatre and Convention centre and this year, the Sydney Opera House.

Eileen Breen is a woman of values, and no matter what curve balls life throws at her, she manages to find success in line with them.

Demolition is an interesting industry to work in for someone whose DNA is laced with sustainability – but it’s the inroads she and husband, Gerry are making when it comes to resource recovery and recycling that truly floats the boat of this nature loving business strategist. As the Northern Territory finalist in the AgriFutures Rural Woman’s Award, Eileen wears many hats, but at the core of all her commitments is a belief she can make the world a better place.

Introducing The Farm Diaries with Maggie MacKellar

Welcome to Graziher’s 2nd podcast, The Farm Diaries based on our regular column written by Tasmanian based author Maggie MacKellar.

In 2021, Graziher’s editorial director Victoria Carey asked Maggie, an author and freelance writer she has always loved if she would pen a new column for the magazine and the The Farm Diaries was born. All about life on a fine wool Merino farm on Tasmania’s east coast, Victoria knew that Graziher readers would also have read Maggie’s memoirs that laid bare the grief she felt at losing loved ones and the challenges of starting life anew.

The Farm Diaries started out as an extract from Maggie’s farm journal that she kept during a lambing season of 2018/2019 and has become an account of daily observations of life on the farm and now we are turning the written word into the spoken work through this podcast.

The Farm Diaries will be released on a Wednesday for the next six weeks with thanks to our sponsor Blundstone.

Mid way through 2023 Maggie’s work will be published by Penguin Books as her latest book, Graft.
