Millpost Merino : permaculture and old-fashioned gardening
About
In keeping with the focus on local cultural landscapes, we will visit Millpost, a family farm near Bungendore NSW. This will be a “show and tell” by David Watson, about his family’s nearly fifty years of restorative agriculture and care for the environment. The house is nestled within an old cottage garden, gnarled fruit trees, kitchen crops and everywhere there is a real patina of age. It is one of the oldest broadscale Permaculture farms in Australia. The family has been graziers here since 1922. The following background information is taken from their website."David and Judith were early adopters of Permaculture principles and methods. When they first moved to Millpost, it was like most sheep farms in Australia, cleared and windswept. The landscape is now dominated by trees planted over the past few decades: 15 kilometres of windbreaks and woodlots that join remnant native vegetation to form wildlife corridors, while sheltering stock, wildlife and pasture from the desiccating summer winds and the winter gales straight off the Snowy Mountains. The trees also provide firewood for our hearth, timber for building, and fodder for the sheep during the extremes of our seasons."
