Roots of Success
The morning is crisp and beyond the rows of ginger planted in rich red volcanic soil, the sun renders the ocean a brilliant blue. With the ginger harvest in full swing, Anthony Rehbein has started his day early, briefing his team at the farm shed. The Rehbeins employ 10 permanent staff and up to 60 casuals during peak harvest periods.

Booligar Blood
Day breaks and the morning light washes a breathtaking golden hue over the paddocks, softening the landscape. It’s a dry year on Booligar Station. The land is parched and suffering the effects of harsh summers with little to no rain, and the grass that remains is crisp underfoot. The Crothers brothers, Donald and Douglas, have met at the machinery shed to discuss the day’s work. Donald’s son, Tom, who also works on the property, wanders over from the old family homestead to join them.
