For Christine Ferguson, the landholder of Myrnong near Bourke in New South Wales, the biggest benefit of running a carbon project has been income diversification. The additional revenue created by the project allows for more flexibility, reducing reliance on stock and even enabling her to remove stock when needed during dry spells.

Partnering with GreenCollar in 2015, the Leigo family began a carbon project focused on carefully managing domestic livestock to reduce total grazing pressure and enable previously suppressed native vegetation to regenerate. According to the Leigos, “Carbon farming under the Human Induced Regeneration model has transformed the way our business operates for the better. The grazing management required for our carbon project supports our livestock grazing business. It’s not a case of either carbon or livestock – they work hand in hand.”

Tallering Station is an old sheep station in remote WA with a rich and long history. Part of the vast Australian Rangelands, Tallering was first used for grazing in the 1860s and construction of the homestead, which still stands today, began in 1903. Managed by the Alan Hamilton since 2017, Tallering is now a thriving cattle station and home to over 75,500ha of regenerating native forest.

Everdale lies west south west of Cobar, NSW, in the Cobar Shire. The property is Site #8 in the Darling River Conservation Initiative and is approximately 14,601 hectares in size.

Kulwin rests among the red soils and undulating ridges of the Cobar Peneplain in NSW. It’s been run as a sheep grazing enterprise by Jenni and Bernard Rogers since 2003, but an influx of feral goats and rogue stock from surrounding areas was playing havoc with the land, leading to soil erosion, gully damage, and the destruction of precious native habitat.

Darling River Eco Corridor #36 is situated in Paroo River overflow country and adjoining the Ramsar listed Nocoleche Nature Reserve in north-western New South Wales. As the last free-flowing river in the Murray Darling Basin, the Paroo is home to rare fauna and flora, including water birds and Yapunyah trees. 

Darling River Eco Corridor #34 is a regeneration project that covers three properties in the Bourke Shire, New South Wales. The landholder, Tony Pattrick, was initially nervous about carbon farming, but the area was going through a major drought and financial support for his livestock business was essential.
