CQU Information Technology Division is providing a live web cast for the Brahman Week Cattle Sale at Gracemere Saleyards near Rockhampton.

You can have a look by going to the following website and clicking through on the big 'Rockhampton Brahman Week Sale - Live Webcast' graphic at the button of the web page: http://www.brahman.com.au .

The sale runs until the end of this week.

Flexible Delivery Services manager Shaune Sinclair said the web cast idea started as a trial, but ended up as a feature of the website.

The CQU logo is prominently displayed on the site.

Mr Sinclair said this collaborative project has been made possible by CQU media streaming expertise and the implementation of CQU's new video streaming systems, due for completion in 2005.

"This has been a collaborative project between CQU, Australian Brahman Breeders Association and the Rockhampton District Saleyards Board (Gracemere Saleyards)," Mr Sinclair said.

"We were keen to collaborate in the projects to engage with the community, to demonstrate and promote CQU\\\\\\\'s new flexible delivery technologies and our expertise, and to research the practical applications of the technology.".
