- In a remote and dark place in the outback of Western Australia, the wanted man Leon Murphey (Ben Mortley) leaves his family in a bid to ensure their safety. While being transported by Captain Dalton (Michael Muntz), Leon's daughter (Isabella Jacqueline) is captured by the cruel Maitland (Steve Turner). The journey soon becomes a chaotic tale of revenge and murder within the ever-changing terrain of Western Australia.
- One Man, His Car and a Whole lot of Red Dirt.
- An astral traveler and a detective risk everything to save a child from the clutches of a rogue demon.
- This week Chris Clark takes a look at the work being done to adapt grazing enterprises.
- Water recycling has helped a small central Victorian town save money as well as allowing nearby vineyards to expand. The town of Ararat is selling its 'grey water' to five vineyards in the Great Western district in a deal that solves two problems - what to do with waste water and how to boost a water-starved local industry.
- For some time Bonlac foods had been hailed a model for the dairy industry. The cooperative was Australia's second largest dairy processor and had made bold incursions into areas such as fruit juices, carbonated drinks and even dairy based bio-technology products. Just recently that image has taken a battering.
- Earlier this year the ABC program Australian Story ran a report on a young farmer in northern New South Wales marrying a reporter from ABC rural radio. ABC switchboards across the country were lit up with callers touched by the way Sam Bailey and Jenny Black came together. The story revealed circumstances which made this a remarkable tale of love, hope and determination.
- For many farmers their property is their kingdom, a piece of land that they control and nurture without interference. But a group of graziers in the New South Wales northern tablelands have chosen to relinquish this concept and instead combine their land into a single farm, sharing stock, resources, labour and most significantly, the decision-making process. This new approach to farming is based on a practice which began in medieval Europe one thousand years and these commoners believe it is not only good for their bottom line but also an innovative way to halt the environmental decline.
- Around this time last year, Landline reported on the concerns of farmers in Victoria's High Country about what might happen if the area had summer bushfires. The concerns were obviously justified. More than 1 million hectares of farmland and forest remains vividly charred by the worst fires in many years.
- Next week many of the Australian beef industry's heavy hitters will be in Rockhampton for its triennial Beef EXPO. Obviously it will be a critical barometer of how the industry is travelling, both domestically and internationally. The ongoing issue is of course quality - consumers are demanding better quality beef and in most markets that means tenderness and taste. And while second guessing individual tastebuds is a tough call, Australia is giving that question a pretty good shot by commercialising the world's first DNA test for tender beef.
- It is not often you come across a qualified chemist who does not like to use chemicals or an organic farmer who strongly supports the use of genetic engineering. But the winemaker who owns Australia's largest organic winery is such a man. Furthermore, he has just joined forces with several other organic grapegrowers to become the biggest producer by far of organic wine in this country.
- Hugh Victor Mackay had an enormous influence on Australian agriculture, as reported by the ABC's 'Countrywide' program 20 years ago. It is 120 years since Mr Mackay invented and built the world's first stripper harvester, 'The Sunshine'. Together, man and machine would change the face of farming, not just here but all over the world.
- This week on Landline, a professor in the department of animal science at Colorado State University talks to Kerry Lonergan about a number of issues, including mad cow disease, American access to the Japanese market and the controversial question of traceability. Dr Gary Smith is said to be one of the top 40 experts in the American beef industry.
