The three are pictured standing in front of a piece of agricultural demonstration machinery displayed by one of the Gathering's main sponsors, Grizzly Engineering.

It began as a pilot project (2015-2016) and evolved into a three year (2017-2020) nation-wide partnership between rural communities, academic, government and cultural organisations, funded by the Australian Research Council..
