“Winning New Holland Dealer of the Year is a true honour, reflecting our dedication to providing exceptional sales, service and support for New Holland’s impressive range of machinery.
“Being awarded K-Line Dealer of the Year further solidifies our commitment to offering the best in agricultural equipment.

Celebrating rural mothers
Mums across the southern Riverina are invited to attend a first-of-its-kind event celebrating Mother’s Day and raising funds and awareness for Motherland, a national charity that reduces isolation and improves mental health outcomes for rural women.
Motherland is on a mission to eliminate the crippling isolation many rural mums face by connecting them to a supportive online community and offering a virtual mothers group program for rural women with children aged up to 18, regardless of their location.
At the Deniliquin Town Hall on Saturday, May 17 from 1.30pm to 5pm, the event will feature a panel discussion with four women from the region and beyond facilitated by Motherland Founder and CEO Stephanie Trethewey.
The panel will discuss the highs and lows of rural motherhood and guests include Home Grown Kids co-founder Emma Hawkins, TV presenter Catriona Rowntree, Murray Irrigation and Rice Growers Association board member Emily Small and Deniliquin Physiotherapy and Sports Injury owner Johanna Murphy.
Motherland ambassador and Deniliquin local Fiona Waters, who will host the event, said the fundraiser would celebrate rural motherhood, from new mothers to grandmothers, while discussing key health challenges to ensure local women are not being left behind.
“It would be great to see as many women come out in support as possible. I’ve seen the difference it’s made to the lives of locals, and if we can give back by paying it forwards, it means even more mums can access the services and support they need,” she said.
Motherland Founder and 2024 Australian of the Year for Tasmania Stephanie Trethewey said the charity had a proven track record of helping counter the physical and mental isolation of mothers living in rural areas across the country.
