"Where are you getting the next lot of food?" And he just shrugged his shoulders. Ev Van Bo and her husband packed up their caravan for a trip around Australia. They thought that perhaps, on the way, they should stop to help a farmer. So they contacted the Country Women’s Australia and were put in contact with Nea Worrell, from the Baradine CWA Drought Pantry. She may have spent the first week leaving the cover on the thermometer when preparing the feed for the poddy lambs, but Ev’s help meant that farmers could have dinner with their children. For Ev, helping out in a drought was a reminder of what is actually important in life, and how we need far less than we imagine.   But what we do need is food and water. In these times of climate change, with Australia become drier and hotter, this interview is a reminder that food security will become a more pressing issue, and that the people we depend on every day to feed us are struggling in ways that are unimaginable here in the city.   

Amid the bustle and kindness of the Baradine Country Women's Association hall, Isabelle took time away from volunteering to talk to the Creating Space Project.  Isabelle’s mum, Julia, tells a story about running away to her grandmother’s house whenever she needed a break. Isabelle, confident and insightful, uses that story to reflect on what’s important to her life. Family and working hard. Those things matter a great deal to Isabelle. Having interviewed her grandmother and mother previously in the podcast (Drought Pantry and Fourth Generation), this interview provides beautiful insight, from Isabelle, into the ways that families pass their values down through the generations.    

Let's grow the show while helping those who need it! For every review written between now and 27th October 2018, I will give a dollar towards a donation (up to $1000) for the Scrubber's Ball to support Baradine farmers who are struggling through one of the worst NSW droughts in decades. Please share with your family and friends! For more info on the fundraiser visit: https://www.mycause.com.au/page/183929/baradine-scrubbers-ball
