- When we talk about environmental problems in Australia, two subjects invariably emerge at the top of the list: water and soil. In many ways, the problems we face with these two basic natural resources - such as salinity and soil degradation - are interwoven and the solutions often work in tandem as well. Many of the problems with soil and water arise from the mismatch between Australian soils, water balance and climate and the traditional European farming and grazing methods.
- When Jeannie Gunn wrote the quintessential tale of life in the top end against all odds, she called it We of the Never Never. The Northern Territory even coined the "never never" phrase to attract tourists, though for the past century it may have just as easily summed up your chances of getting to Darwin by train. It seems you should never say never. The project that has been sidetracked more often than a shunting yard loco, has finally got the greenlight and $1.2 billion to make it happen.
- As family farms are passed down from one generation to the next, so too are any problems brought on by years of working the land. Today we look at one farmer in Western Australia who is turning such an inheritance into an asset. He's found a way to make his salt ravaged land pay by building a series of salt ponds and growing trout.
- When most of us talk about "buying back the farm" we usually mean 'Australians reclaiming property owned by overseas interests'. For some it's a reassuring, even defiant swipe, against the inexorable globalisation of agribusiness. While for others its a more sentimental statement about reconnecting with unique landscapes, plants and animals. Then there's the Australian Bush Heritage Fund, which is committed, not just to buying back the bush, but working with farmers doing their own bit for biodiversity. What started as a seed of an idea planted 13 years ago in Tasmania has grown into the most significant privately funded conservation group in the country.

- Australian researchers are joining a global race to find alternatives to antibiotics, which will keep animals healthy and safe and also allow farmers to maintain current growth and production levels.
- It is supposed to be a way to lock in a price and a buyer. But signing a contract has locked a group of irrigators in southern New South Wales into a tight situation. They now face losses of hundreds of thousands of dollars if they are unable to deliver the corn they promised. Water cuts have left the irrigators high and dry and their customers increasingly impatient.
- Australia's wool industry has spent decades and hundreds of millions of dollars promoting wool as the premier natural fibre. However the controversial practice of mulesing to prevent flystrike in merino sheep has not only undermined that clean green image lately it has made woolgrowers pariahs in the eyes of animal rights groups. Tim Lee has been looking at the development of alternatives as the deadline looms for the phase out of this bloody procedure.
- Australian scientists are appealing for public help in their efforts to bowl over the bunny in the first ever national rabbit census.
