Succession planning is one of the biggest challenges facing any farming family. It is hard work, but a poor plan or no plan can divide families and even see the business go to the wall. In 'the good old days, the farm went to the eldest son and daughters were expected to marry a farmer. Nikki Mahony (nee Joyce) and her three siblings grew up on Gyranda cattle station and Santa Gertrudis stud in Central Queensland. Nikki and her husband Peter saw the need for succession planning and believe the years of discussion between parents, partners and siblings have been worthwhile.

Congratulations to young Spanish illustrator and artist Constanca Duarte,  @a_inconstancia for completing her street-art collection painted on electrical boxes in Porto. Artists are brightening up the streets of Porto with their work. 
Constanca fears the character of Porto is being lost due to pressures from tourism and her art is her way of keeping Portuguese tradition alive.
It’s tough making a living as an artist, no less so in Porto, good luck Constanca! #ainconstancia

Dick and Nicola from Holland are walking the Portuguese Coastal Camino with their best mates, four dogs. They started the 270km pilgrimage with three pooches but adopted the fourth after it was hit by a car and left for dead. Walking the Camino with dogs takes planning and patience, this team has both and the rewards are life changing

Walking the Camino with man’s best friends 

Walking the Portuguese Camino gives you plenty of time to think, get fit and chat with people from all over the world. It was rainy and we were dodging a bit of traffic on the narrow roads when I met Patricia an Occupational Therapist from Lisbon. She works with dementia and Alziemer’s disease clients. She provides hope for patient and carers. Her advice- help is available, so don’t hide
