“Tangents in the landscape” (detail), 2014, mixed media installation, fencing wire, ratchet straps and Holden Rodeo ute

A day spent hauling junk out of gullies can put you in a philosophical mood. When we first purchased this property, we were drawn to the erosion gullies filled with generations of farm rubbish with a kind-of masochistic fascination. After a year of hauling, stacking and shunting loads to the dump or recycling depot, today we loaded up our ute with the final bundles of unruly and ancient fencing wire.

Bye-bye horror horse!

The most recent round of dump trips has also been momentous in that it finally marks the banishment of a terrifying, rusted and threadbare rocking horse from the property. The horror horse, wedged between rusted 44-gallon drums stuffed with irrigation pipe and topped with a decaying mattress, formed one in a series of mobile art installations mounted on the back of the ute, displayed for a brief, one-time-only journey between our block and the Yankalilla dump. A number of more conceptual, minimalist pieces followed shortly after, composed of snarls of fencing wire of assorted vintage. Continue reading →

New work in progress, honouring the joy and vibrancy the Welcome Swallow brings to the farm! A swallow family have made a mud nest in the open bay of our shed, and for the past few months we have loved watching them raise young and take their babies on test flights around the shed #welcomeswallow #embroidery

The bees are back! Five years on from our last attempt we're having another go at beekeeping on the farm, hopefully with more shelter, shade and forage for the colony after seven years of revegetation and planting! 🌱🌧🌳🐝🌼🌻 #bee #beekeeping #bees #fleurieucoast #fleurieupeninsula #farm #forage #honey
This year we planted a corridor of Holm Oaks (Quercis ilex) acorns for shelter, forage and a future fire break. They've germinated and are growing strongly! Adapted to the dry Mediterranean climate of Spain, the Holm Oak is one of the key species of the dehesa silvopasture system. The acorns are famous as pig forage as well as being the European oak most suitable for human consumption. 🌱🌧🌳🐷🐏 #silvopasture #agroforestry #permaculture #oak #quercusilex #fleurieupeninsula #fleurieucoast #tree #acorn #farm

Fantastic to attend a regenerative agriculture workshop on grazing naturally led by Dick Richardson and Ben Ryan at the spectacular Ryan property. Great to meet some more aspiring regenerative farmers on the #fleurieucoast too! Thanks to @fleurieucoastmadebynature for another excellent program for the Festival of Nature. #regenerativeagriculture #grazingnaturally #grazing #festivalofnature #soilcarbon @cockatoocreekfarm #buildingsoil @jaggedcrowfarm @gumparkbeef #fleurieupeninsula #farm #agriculture
