@lauzfitz This family travelling from VIC was waiting for the youngest’s COVID test results in Hillston NSW before heading to QLD border. The process was taking so long the elders were concerned their 72 hours window of negative results were going to expire.
Hillston garlic and potato grower Douglas Rennie says his family's farm received 170mm of rainfall over three days. “The old man, he's been farming here for 30 years, and he's never seen water where it is," he said.
"It's a bit of a disaster at the moment."
Coming up on #ABCLandline this Sunday:
🐑 Low-grade wool being recycled into insulated packaging.
🐖 The million dollar machine turning pig poo into a profit.
🪨 Volcanic rock farming on Mount Wolvi, Qld.
🪵 Sandalwood harvesting and concerns over sustainability.
Instead of moving rocks to farm, this family started farming rocks! 🪨❤️
"The rocks don't care if it's wet, they don't care if it's dry, you don't have to feed them, you don't have to look after them."
