Bruce PascoeDear Munjie Supporters, This is our last post as we have sent out all rewards. (If you haven't received yours email [email protected]). We have changed the name of our company so that we reserve the culture word Gurandgi for cultural purposes. The company will be called Merian Munjie from now on to better reflect the purposes of the activity. Thanks to the generosity of our followers we have been able to purchase our own harvester, a machine to pull it and a trailer to transport it. Our next harvest will be in January. We've been visiting other growers and there are some really exciting projects. Australians will be eating bread made from our grains and baking our murnong in the near future. Other people will be growing these plants but I hope Australia remembers who domesticated these plants and who brought them back to the nation's attention and buy from Aboriginal growers rather than the mainstream companies who will be jumping on to the bandwagon. We don't want to be dispossessed a second time. Gadgee, Bruce7y

Bruce PascoeDear Supporters, We are processing all gift entitlements and should be finished in a week or so and have a date for the Field Day at Berry. We are still processing the Mallacoota harvest and about to embark on the Cooma harvest. we are learning so much and adapting our processes accordingly. We are confident you will be buying these products in the future. Thank you for your support.8y

Bruce PascoeDear Gurandgi munjie supporters, We're within days of doing our first harvest. Those who wish to volunteer for that historic event please send me an email at [email protected]. We will be working first at Mallacoota and then at Timbillca and later at Cooma. Any extra pozible funds will be used to provide camping accomodation and BBQ meals for volunteer. It will be hot and dusty work so remember sunscreen,hats, bahers, gloves and a sense of curiosity and humour.8y

Merran LangI loved the book Dark Emu and had thought it would be great to start replanting those crops. It's very exciting that you are doing it!8y
