Our first dam

Life at Milkwood Farm, Water Harvesting & ReuseBy Kirsten BradleyFebruary 15, 2008Leave a comment

The studio dam, the one halfway up the ridge and in the middle of our system, was the first one we all sunk our teeth into. And boy oh boy…earthworks are something else… it’s like having your skin torn off in large slabs, while someone tells you it’s not skin, it’s just butter. No problem…

Milkwood acknowledges the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, water and community.
We pay our respects to them and their cultures, and to Elders past, present and emerging.
