How Peter Andrews started natural sequence farming | Australian Story (2005 Archives)
When Peter Andrews offered a new way of farming using the natural contours of the land, people called him a lunatic. A maverick. A rebel.
But quickly people started seeing the benefits of his work and he became the Australian pioneer of natural sequence farming.
Peter’s story is one that is often mentioned when people talk about Australian Story. #OnThisDay in 2005 we met Peter at his property Tarwyn Park in the Upper Hunter Valley, NSW, and we have since revisited his story several times since.
?We’re sharing memorable clips like this to mark 30 years of the ABC's Australian Story in 2026.
