Download the film - www.overlander.tv or watch the entire program, all 44 videos, on youtube playlist - www.youtube.com Organic farming is currently receiving a lot of attention. Many farmers are keen to give organics ago but are unsure about the process involved and it’s viability. A new video produced by Mark Shea of Overlander.tv, hopes to demystify organic farming by bringing together some of Australias top commercial organic and non-toxic farmers, and ask them how they manage their enterprises without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Mark joined a tour led by Nuffield Farming Scholar Don MacFarlane which took in ten different properties including the Victorian Agricultural Research Centre. The great thing about the video is that it allows the farmers involved to tell their own story on why they went organic, how they went about it and whether it has been a viable move. The video covers such diverse farming enterprises as organic cattle, sheep, poultry, pigs, grain, wine, fruit and vegetables.

Our first encounter with a different “world” than the endless desert was in Port Augusta, a small and rather charming port city situated at “Australia’s crossroads.” We reached the town at dusk and spent just a night and a few hours next morning there but we got enough time to visit the downtown, the piers and to open an account for free wireless Internet at the public library (in South Australia all public libraries offer free Internet once you open an account - even to tourists) so that we can check emails and talk back home. From Port Augusta to Clare Valley are only 130 miles/200 km (almost a walk in the park when compared to the 800 miles/1200 km we did in the previous two days) so we’ve decided to pace ourselves and use the smaller country roads instead of the highway. As we’ve have started driving, it is hard to imagine the change in scenery as soon as we’ve reached the Flinders Mountains: instead of the stony, red desert with puny bushes and rare wildlife that we were used to seeing for more than a week now, we were driving by endless golden wheat fields, green pastures, vineyards and beautiful, green trees. A picture straight out of Tuscany, we might add …
