Toowoomba Mohair growers on the landscape rehydration journey

Mulloon ran a Landscape Rehydration Introductory Workshop in Toowoomba on 10 October 2024. It was supported by the Australian Mohair Marketing Organisation (AMMO) with funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund. 

Thirty people participated in the 1-day event in rather cold and drizzly weather conditions, learning about the principles of landscape rehydration and how to read the landscape.  The 30-ha host property, owned by Peter and Dianne Tatham, is run primarily for mohair production using holistic management principles.   

Mulloon’s Tony Wells (NSW-based Landscape Planner) and Sam Skeat (Regenerative Agriculture Consultant based in Queensland) led the participants on the learning journey that involved two excursions around the property to interpret landscape patterns and inspect erosion issues and discuss restoration options. The day finished with the participants experimenting with small in-stream structures in the property’s flowing creek.
