I’m one of many fortunate people to have worked alongside Simon Crean, and to have benefitted from his counsel, kindness, and passion for regional Australia. Taken far too soon, an enormous loss. My heart breaks for his family. Rest in peace.
Vale Hon. Simon Crean
Among his many roles, he was a director of FRRR. His intellect, curiosity, passion and friendship will be sorely missed. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Love our morning sessions at @FRRR_Oz. Today we’re chatting with Niilo from @GulfSavannahNRM & hearing about life, Country, agriculture, community, & climate in this vast & beautiful part of northern Australia
@rikkitweets @Warwick_Long@FRRR_Oz Thnx Rikki. Our team are ok so far but still playing out for a few. @FRRR_Oz will activate support for recovery with our many wonderful partners as things settle & when needs are clear. A lot of repeat experiences from 2011 floods unfortunately.
We’re also seeking a suitably qualified Impact Evaluation partner to evaluate the impact of the Helping Regional Communities Prepare for Drought program.
Proposals are due 5pm AEDT, 24 Oct.

Some good tips for transitioning to living regionally for the e, tree, sea changers. It also goes both ways - rural communities are often grappling with how to welcome in and ‘make room’ for the opp’s & challenges of regional migration - thanks for sharing Jack
