Dairy Farming in the Wet Tropics
The phrase “Australian agriculture” brings certain scenes to mind; merino sheep and vast beef stations, helicopter wrangling, the brush of a shirt cuff, stained with red dust, across a sweating forehead. When dairy cattle are imagined it is in the temperate grasslands of Victoria and Tasmania; a British family farm interrupted with kangaroos and gum trees.
Few people outside of the industry realise that north of the tropic of Capricorn cows graze tropical grasses five feet high, farmers battle against the ceaseless encroachment of the rainforest, and milk is produced to the chorus of rainbow hued birds, under the beat of the fierce southern sun, and the battering rains of the wet season.
