Whether we're talking to cockies [farmers] at a farm field day, or leading the kids on an eco-crime scene investigation in a patch of bush by their school, it's all about giving them an experience that both entertains and engages them with the issues that matter.
The Green RIG--driving eco-education by Anderson, Bettina / Ecos
All the squatters and the cockies from the scrubs and plains out west, All the drovers and the stockmen, all the shearers and the rest, Have to turn their minds to engines and forget the things they've done, For this is a war of experts and mechanics--with a gun.
Poetry as a primary source by Morrison, Robert S. / Sabretache
