Over 70 people enjoyed the premiere, of Renewal in the Desert The story of the Barrier Field Naturalists’ Club and the Broken Hill Regeneration Reserves. You can watch it anytime on our website or YouTube Channel

Grab a cuppa, some colleagues and a computer interface to enjoy a social session with AABR members as we celebrate a milestone or two with the production of our documentary celebrating one of the earliest bush regeneration projects on the planet.

Combining historical imagery and recent footage from the 2017 Broken Hill Field trip, the 17 minute mini-movie tells the story of some amazing people, looking for a solution to the Outback dust storms and sand drift, and finding a way forward by listening to the landscape. 

The story of the Barrier Field Naturalists Club and the regeneration reserves is a fitting tribute to celebrate the beginning of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
