Katherine Research Station Healthy Food Project

The Barunga and Manyallaluk Teams are busy again helping out at the Katherine Research Station Healthy Food Project.

After soil preparation and irrigation work it’s time to plant sweet potatoes. Our teams worked alongside the Katherine Station staff and learned the proper way to plant the different plants.

Everyone is looking forward to harvest time, and to enjoy the fruits of our teams labour. We are thrilled at the hard work and enthusiasm with this project.
