Enduring Hope

I’m exploring the enduring hope and tenacity of Australia’s primary producers. The men and women who continue through the good years and the bad, for a purpose bigger than themselves. Farming isn’t easy and is not always rewarding, especially in a sunburnt country that is experiencing the extremes of climate change.

Family legacy:
Tom was born into a family who’s ancestors founded the little country town he lives in 1821. Tom carries the weight of legacy as a birth right. Born into farming, he has carried on the work of his forefathers and worked the land his whole life. Through the good years and the bad, Tom has seen is fair share of adversity. Family farm subdivisions, high interest rates, droughts and floods.
