Andrew and Suzi Sprigg of Wialki are planting their agriculturally unproductive soils to tree crops. They are passionate about the role tree crops can have in making their farm and their community more sustainable. In Western Australia lies an area twice the size of Tasmania, called the Avon Wheatbelt. Of the 12 million hectares of land, approximately 8 million have been cleared. This extensive clearing has lead to environmental problems including wind and water erosion, salinity, and loss of habitat. Agriculture is the predominant industry for this region but with narrowing margins and a changing climate, many who live in the region are looking for other options to be able to keep farming while still looking after the environment. Industry scale planting of tree crops not only addresses these environmental issues but will provide sufficient resources for new industries. This will result in income diversification for farmers and increase local job opportunities. This video is of 5 Avon farming families telling their stories — about how they are trying to heal the land while developing new and sustainable production systems for their future — their children’s future and the future of their communities. We would like to thank Wheatbelt NRM for their vision for the health and sustainability of the Avon Region and for their sponsorship of this production.

Southern Cross is located on the Great Eastern Highway, three hours drive west of Kalgoorlie. It is the centre for the Yilgarn Shire (Yilgarn is the Aboriginal word for white stone or quartz). The area includes Bullfinch, Marvel Loch, Moorine Rock, Bodollin and Koolyanobbing. Southern Cross is situated in a prosperous, well established farming area including some of the largest farms in the state. The history that surrounds the district complements the beauty and adventure of the Shire of Yilgarn. Gold was discovered in Southern Cross in 1888 by Tom Risely and Mick Toomey. They named the place after the stars that had been their guide. Today all the streets and the salt lake of the town are named after stars or constellations. The land is spectacularly beautiful in spring with wildflowers. Popular attractions within the Southern Cross area include Baladje Rock, Frog Rock, Karalee Dam and Hunts Soak; all interesting to visit and ideal picnic spots. For a panoramic view of the area, head up to Wimmera Hill Lookout which overlooks the township, the surrounding farmland and goldmines. Just east of town is the old cemetery which was developed as a Pioneer Memorial. The early settlers relied on horse and camel teams to transport goods. Chaff to feed them was expensive and so crops were grown on the 160 acre Miners Homestead blocks. Later, in the 1920s a number of blocks were opened up as a Soldier Settlement, followed by the Miner’s Settlement project establishing miners …
