“We are very proud to receive this award. We encourage everyone to keep up the hard work – it is worth it!” Nadia Campbell, QLD Australian Government Landcare Farming Award Finalist.

Nadia and Robert Campbell are joint owners of Goondicum Pastoral Company and Goondicum Station, a 7000ha cattle property. In the 1950s, when the notion of conservation and sustainable land management was almost non-existent, the Campbell family began operating under the ethos that agriculture can coexist in balance with the natural environment – land that is protected and respected will in return yield the highest productivity. They have not only prevented the degradation of soils, native vegetation, and local wildlife on their property, but have turned the land around to the point where Goondicum Station now supports a variety of native regional ecosystems rich in Australian biodiversity.
