One year on

March 2026 marks one year since we launched the Water Stewardship Program in partnership with WaterNSW and The Ian Potter Foundation. It’s been a year of learning, collaboration, and deep gratitude for the communities and individuals who have carried this work forward.

Levelling up with community-led water stewardship

In February, we had the pleasure of welcoming 25 natural resource management professionals from the Sydney Catchment Area for a four-day Professionals Intensive at Mulloon as part of the Water Stewardship Program.

We are bringing together land managers, scientists and First Nations in co-design sessions to explore regenerative land management and how technology can support the journey.

Beyond the Back Fence: latest news from our Learning Programs

Whether it’s the summer monsoonal rains of Darwin, to the wet winters of Tasmania and summer rainfall patterns of the Northern Tablelands, the principles remain the same: slow the water, spread it and retain seasonal rains to restore landscape function.

Meet the team

General Manager
Mulloon Creek Natural Farms

Favourite thing you've ever grown or made yourself? Mindfulness.

What & where would be your dream farm to world for a day? Western division grazing block, where you can make a big difference to landscape function on a grand scale.

What has regen ag taught you about life? There is no silver bullet, it’s more like silver buckshot. Lots of little things to hit the target.

Strangest thing you've ever found out in the field? Two fellas who were out of their wits, lost in the ‘outback’!

Which plant or animal would you most like to have a conversation with? Neither. I would head to the fungal kingdom for a chat because I am a fun-guy! (fungi 🙃).
