LAND STUDIO #3 2022
KSCA's third Land Studio Camp! This one took place on Bula Miri Farm, owned by Erika Watson and Hayden Druce, in Gundungurra Country, Hartley, NSW. 35 people, including many art and geography students from the University of Wollongong camped out for 3 days. We learnt about Keyline Farming, horticulture, holistic land management and de-installed a fence that had always been in the wrong place and replaced it with a new lighter, mobile one on contour. We created a 3D model of the whole farm from clay we collected, and activated it with water flows to better understand its hydrology. We then stomped in compost, seeds and other ingredients and shaped thousands of seed balls from this rich mush, which we distributed across the landscape to breath new life into the soil.
Land Studio is an artist-led environmental stewardship camp. Campers spend several days living on a farm, contributing to land restoration and gaining a deeper understanding of landscape change through artistic, cultural and scientific activities. The project is about exchange of all kinds: the exchange of labour on farms for environmental education, exchange between rural and urban communities, between different cultural understandings of land, and between different forms of knowledge of ecology, food systems, climate change adaptation and land stewardship. Every camp is unique.
KSCA extends grateful thanks to David King for welcoming us to Gundungurra Country, The Human Geography Society (HuGs) and School of Geography and Sustainable Communities, University of Wollongong for their support of this camp, Alice Blackwood for poetry, Hannah Gosnell for her talk, exceptional volunteers Connie and Paul Steers, Angelic McNab, Sarah Arneson and Rose Copping, Justin Hewitson for his wonderful videography and Erika and Hayden for their hospitality and leadership.

    A “weed” is any plant growing where you don’t want it. A squash plant in the middle of my tomatoes, is a weed. It either gets transplanted or composted. Many plants that are viewed as “weeds” are simply unpalatable pioneer species moving into disturbed, overgrazed, or barren soils. They are preparing the soil to support more palatable plants for people or livestock, and can/should be considered in any program to restore productivity to degraded soils.

    I'm not a farmer, but I am a person who visits farming property from time to time. I have often wondered about erosion and salinity and how they can be dealt with. What this gentleman is saying is so simple, but incredibly complex and interdependent on other factors. I've watched several videos about NSF and believe it offers such rewards to the environment, its diversity and the farmer. In our drying climate, surely NSF needs to be implemented more vigorously to limit runoff, conserve water and improve soil. I guess the other element is that we are merely custodians of the land, and what we do to it (both good and bad) has an impact well beyond our relatively short life spans. NSF seems to be a positive methodology that looks at that 'big picture'.

      If there were native crops don't you think they would already be growing them. Europeans have always shown an interest in botany. Many of our most popular foods come from foreign sources. Tomatoes, potatoes, chilli and maize are from native America. Peanuts and bananas from Africa. Sugar cane from new Guinea. Sweet potatoe from Hawaii and New Zealand. All washed down with a cup of tea from China, coffee from Ethiopia or cocoa from Mexico. Our farmers have developed many drought resistant breeds. From Merino sheep to hardy wheat varieties. Australian native grains are unproductive and not economically viable. There is one Aussie plant that is grown...macadamia nut....it has been farmed since the early days of settlement. Our farmers were very quick to realise the potential and domesticate the species.
