## About

We are going to turn the Tablelands into the Ag-Tech champion of Australia.
We love the land and the environment that we live in, and we want to connect to it. After decades of promises, we still have patchy coverage from the big Telco's, it's a hard place to do it. Now we can do it ourselves thanks to the efforts of some great minds in Amsterdam.
Our regions leaders were looking for an avenue to innovate our industries. Thanks to TheThingsNetwork we found an answer.

Our Farmers and locals are innovative because they have to be, that's the reality of limited technical resources. Now we have a world full of resources and support, and we can offer our innovation in return.

The Tablelands can become an example of nature connecting to people in ways that have never been done before.
