Recently the farm hosted Rural Press journalist Matt Cawood ( @matt_cawood) and I have discovered he is an awesome photographer ( he did have a pretty impressive camera with him)
You can read Matt’s story in The Land here
So I thought I would take this opportunity to share with the you some of beautiful photographs he took at the farm
Firstly me with the absolutely adorable Mandelyn Paradise Chime. Chime was a twin who came out backwards and I raised her from the day she born and she is just so friendly and she just loves having her ears scratched.
This is Louise bringing the cows home for the midday milking.
This is Chrissy in the pit milking the cows at midday milking. Note the very curious cows in the background
The calves in the front paddock. Wow how fantastic is that view
Picasso Corner which 5 local schools revegated in 2008
The entrance to the dairy
and look at these two divine photos
How special is this one
and last but not least our drum art which are hosting some of our endangered or vulnerable species trees
Matt is an very interesting story himself and there are some wonderful insights here “Australian agriculture reporter leaves isolation for London’s meeting of minds” which includes this quote that I like
“Agriculture is the most fundamental human activity. Without it, we don’t have cities, the Internet, cappuccino. And we are quickly realizing that how we conduct agriculture determines the health of the planet.”
All photos by Matt Cawood .Thank you so much Matt for sending them to me
