Colinton grazier John Westaway is a ‘computer convert’ and says property mapping will make a big difference to the way he manages his cattle business.
Mr Westaway is just one of 15 producers who took their use of farm computers to a new level last week at AgForce Projects property mapping workshop in Kilcoy and Esk.

The joy of dancing lives on in Kilcoy.  There was lots of fun at Mount Kilcoy Hall on Saturday, 9 April when 40 men and women had a night to remember.  Technic Tones set the mood with their foot tapping music for all to enjoy and where friends can get together and show off their dancing skills.
A big thank you goes to Cameron Hooper, who captured the nights events on camera, and allowed us to display some of his photos.
