About CHICKS IN THE STICKS: Landing in JERILDERIE

“Increase skills, knowledge and understanding of the risks posed by drought and climate change through this event focusing on enabling women living in a geographically vast region to network, as well as building depth of social connection, a shared sense of purpose and longer-term community belonging.”

Bendigo entrepreneur Kimberley Furness is an award-winning magazine publisher and podcast host who spends her time-sharing stories that focus around regional and rural women.

Kimberley started her career as a sub editor and reporter in a regional newsroom. She has been on both sides of the microphone and has 20+ years’ experience in media, marketing, and communications. Kimberley started her first business, a digital agency, in 2014, and launched OAK Magazine in 2017.

Kimberley has been on the other side of the media as the 2022 Agri Futures Rural Women’s Award National Runner Up and VIC Winner.

Lou Bull loves many things but when asked to really sum them up it always comes back to nature, health, connections, and learning.

I am happiest with dirt under my nails, sounds of nature in my ears, a body feeling cared for and sharing this with family and community and learning new things. Lou has worked across many natural resource projects in both the Riverina and Southwest Slopes of NSW.

There has also been time spent teaching at Riverina TAFE - Thurgoona in Conservation Land Management and Permaculture, writing and publishing Aquila Garden Guide and presenting garden talk back on the local ABC radio. In more recent years Lou has qualified as a Yoga teacher and teaches in her local community.
