A new logo ‘ReMade in Australia’ was launched in April and is a new brand that identifies genuine products which use recycled content. Products must have a minimum of 20 per cent recycled content, half of which must be Australian-made, to display the logo. It is designed by Dr Kenneth Cato, the same artist who designed the ‘Made in Australia’ logo, which has been around since 1986 and is currently used by more than 4500 businesses. It has helped consumers support local products and has helped Australian businesses to compete against multinational companies.

‘The little town with the big heart’, Boggabri, once again staged a very successful Drovers Campfire last weekend. The weekend included a variety of entertainment, stalls, bus tours, food stalls, whip cracking, music, raffles, a dog jumping demonstration, billy boiling, art and craft displays and a colouring-in competition and this year for the first time, yabbie races were held. There was something for all ages. Narrabri Shire Council mayor Darrell Tiemens opened the campfire and welcomed visitors and praised the committee and volunteers for organising and hosting the event. The popular drawcard is on caravanners’ calendars which they look forward to coming to each year, with 171 booked in this year. The final event was a fun, trivia night on Sunday night. Next year will be Drovers Campfire’s 20th anniversary and work has already begun to make this event one to remember.
