Domestic violence: the 'silent epidemic' claiming the life of one woman every eight days
There is a lot of domestic violence in Australia, some local councils deny this is happening here in NSW, but the facts speak for themselves. Now the Abbott government has cut funding to the very people who help these women escape the violence. This then is what Tony Abbott as minister for women's affairs thinks of women. How can we possibly work towards a better & safer community with this man as our leader?!!!

Dried Apple & Pumpkin/Squash for Trail Food and Storage.
Trail food.
We have been busy drying apple for storage & trail food. If you can core the apple you can hang it on a string line, or you can use a needle to do the same thing. You can also dry apple next to a fire.
We have been using our stove & heater.
A word of caution: Many years ago on a long trek I made the mistake of leaving my dried apple bag in my haversack with the flap closure down, but not buttoned. A possum stole it in the night. I found it not far away early next morning, but the bag although closed with a drawstring, was severely masticated!!! Yuck!
Pumpkin can also be dried in the same manner.
