For the final day of research and site visits, the residents headed north of South Australia to Rohde's Free-Range Egg Farm. Rohde's Free Range Egg Farm have been producing Free Range Eggs for more than 50 years, in the rural surrounds of Tarlee in the Clare Valley. It was great to get an insight on what makes the eggs free range and how the farm has been awarded this accreditation. This was followed by another site visit, to Waterloo Wind Farm, where we were gained an insight into how Waterloo's 37 turbines generate clean energy to a number of homes in South Australia.
Take a look at some of what we got up to on both our site-visits to Waterloo Wind Farm and Rohde's Free-Range Egg Farm on our Documentation page.
After a break on Wednesday, Day 3 of the residency saw the artists visit the South Australian Research and Development Institute - SARDI followed by a trip 20km outside of Adelaide's CBD to Barra Fresh fish farm.
From the population of Great White sharks and sea lions to the health of the Murray-Darling, SARDI covers the likes of aquaculture nutrition, marine and freshwater ecology, oceonography and fishery biology. Take a look at some of what we got up to on our site-visit to SARDI as well as Barra Fresh on our Documentation page.
