@Pete_Karam Is the dog waiting for another one?

The beginning of the 22/23 summer we had 8 budgies, by the end we had 7 (1 victim to the miner birds). At the beginning of the 23/24 summer we had the same 7 and at the end peaked at 24. Since lost 1 to miners, 1 to the dog, and gave 4 away so 18 currently. A romantic summer 🌺

@Pete_Karam Yes spectacular this week PK.

Waiting for the bus at Turramurra train station to take me home. This photo does not do it justice but it’s impossible not to notice the moon 🌝. It’s big, it’s full and it’s bright as !! It would be a great paua tide back home in Opunake (water would be bloody cold though) 😂

@Pete_Karam ANZ the beneficiary PK. 35 years!!

35y with ANZ today - who would have thought, (I only crossed the ditch to play 1 season of rugby). Seen lots of change, but get to do what makes me happy ie lead small relationship teams, regular client contact, bank the top of the middle market, and complexity of credit. ✅😊

@AirportFarming delivers our @ANZ_AU Greener Pasture 2 report in Toowoomba QLD this week. #Austagri is performing above the expectation of Greener Pastures 1 (2012) with ample capital and farming profitability leading the industry forward. lnkd.in/guKKMgnF

@ANZ_AU bankers and ANZ Board on the road this week in Queensland. Great for everyone to hear of the generational success of Qualipac in the highly productive Lockyer Valley.

The aquaculture 🐟 and dairy 🐄 sectors led strong Tassie agricultural exports after COVID says Madaline Swan from @ANZ_AU. #ABARESROC

But how is your lawn looking 🤔

Great insight from ANZ’s @bennett2_mark on the demand for fine wool despite the recent dip during challenging economic conditions. #ABARESROC #agchatoz

Great to be back in Tasmania this week for #Agfest2022. So much #agribusiness opportunity. The @ANZ_AU team proudly supporting growth in this fantastic landscape.

@ANZ_AU at the GIAV & SFMCA industry forum in Moama NSW. It’s been an incredible run, but will it last beyond this season? Probably not to the same levels. Plenty of new and challenging considerations but it’s still a glass half full industry outlook.

After significant growth over the past few years we are investing heavily in the business, starting with a brand new Agri Business Mgr role based in the Lower Great Southern (Albany, Katanning or Narrogin). Cont..

Honoured to be part of the #GlobalFoodForum in Melbourne, and to have the opportunity to discuss global food supply chains and dynamics with @HoskingBrett and Eric Johnston. An excellent day of expert speakers, challenging opinions and frank discussion across this vital sector.

Solid growth in domestic consumption and increased production capacity will bear fruit for Australia’s #berry industry. @ANZ_AU's Madeleine Swan picks through the data. READ MORE: anz.co/3sCjuPz

Magnificent day to be out in East Gippsland today with the @ANZ_AU team and @jd0054 speaking dairy, beef and all things agribusiness with leading local farmers and industry. Rising costs front of mind, but strength of commodity prices and season/water = glass half full.

Back at the old stomping ground in the MID (and the sunshine) with @ANZ_AU and @bennett2_mark

The newly signed #freetradeagreement between Australia and India will create opportunities for growth in parts of the local agri industry. @ANZ_AU's @AirportFarming and @bennett2_mark call out the benefits. READ MORE: anz.co/3vOG9Zv

Pulses set to grow in reduced crop area: ANZ - Grain Central graincentral.com/cropping/pulse… An early wet break might change things a little (let’s hope!) but input costs and availability might potentially temper both acreage and yield potential this year.

While prices for #AgriCommodities may start to level after some of the extraordinary peaks of 2021, they remain historically very high across the board. @ANZ_AU's @Bennett2_Mark and @AirportFarming harvest the data anz.co/3pmrwKF

anz.com.au/content/dam/an… Agri commodity prices remain historically strong. Click the link for the latest from @ANZ_AU on soft commodity prices and key economic coverage. 2022 looks to offer continuing opportunity. Let's hope the season also plays it's part.
