(a) Faye and Bill Belling, (b) and (c) the Bellings' farm near Tarcutta on the South West Slopes of
New South Wales. In the 1980s, this farm suffered many problems with rising water tables and extensive soil
erosion. An active restoration program was instigated and this has had major positive benefits for arresting
secondary salinity and improving farm productivity. The Bellings' farm is also a significant property for a
range of declining woodland birds, including the Hooded Robin, Crested Shrike-tit and the Black-chinned
Honeyeater. (Photos by Sachiko Okada)
