- Once upon a time there was a tiny sugar producing township called Tully in Far North Queensland, Australia. Tully is renowned for its endless sugar fields and ... Rain. One day the townsfolk were shocked by the devastating news that Brazil had dumped its sugar on the world market. "What will we do?" they cried, "we will all be ruined." Not being one to resist a challenge, life-time resident and Rotary Club member Ron Hunt calls a meeting with the town leaders to see what can be done to save Tully from financial rack and ruin. Ron proposes to build The World's Biggest Gumboot in honour of Tully's record rainfall of 7.98 metres in 1950. Roger Chandler a prodigious frog sculptor says the idea was based on his boot trophy presented to the Tully Boot Scooters complete with a Green Tree Frog clinging to the side. Ron Hunt not eager for Roger to build the boot commissions the "outsider" Bryan Newell. Ron gives Roger the job of carving his 140th frog. Still feeling rejected Roger can't help but sabotage Bryan's boot building project with his oversized frog. As the boot goes further and further over the deadline Ron starts to have misgivings about Bryan. Six months later the town wants to know where their $90,000 boot is? How will this effect Ron's reputation? Will the Big Golden Gumboot with the green frog clinging precariously to the side, make a difference to the town's overall economy? Only time will tell.

- This year, more than 7 million hectares of Australia was farmed 'organically'. A further 7 million hectares is in the process of being certified 'organic'. But it wasn�t that long ago when to admit you were an organic or biodynamic producer, meant you were held up for ridicule.
- Five years ago, George King's neighbours scoffed at the idea he could turnaround the fortunes of his family's farm without spending a fortune in the process. By any objective measurement the place was falling to bits. The paddocks were clapped out, the stock was in-bred and the dams were silting up. He believed the problem was not the farm as such, but the way it was being managed, lots of decisions with no clear goal in mind. After a decade in the red, the place is in the black and we have just been back to see how George King turned it around.
- Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world. By weight it's worth more than gold. Prized for its intense colour, aroma and flavour, the dried stigmas from the crocus flower are used in Middle Eastern and European cooking.

After a devastating false start they've established themselves as Australia's only saffron suppliers.
- Live exports to the Middle East are likely to be down by more than 1 million sheep and lambs this year, and the outlook for 2005 is not much better. Australia's post-drought stock shortage, the rising value of the dollar, and the suspension of trade to Saudi Arabia have all combined for a forecast decline of 22 per cent this year. But the trade faces an even greater threat - the animal rights campaign against the trade has gathered momentum since last year's Cormo Express debacle. Prominent Australians have joined the protests and at least one American retailer has banned Australian wool products.
- It is an extraordinary tale of how a run-of-the-mill sale of wheat has ballooned into an ongoing saga involving two wars, international sanctions and the forgiveness of debt amounting to billions of dollars. Caught in the middle of all this are Australian graingrowers, the bulk of them from Western Australia, and it is from that state that the grains president of the Farmers Federation, Peter Wahlsten, spoke with Kerry Lonergan.
- A year ago, the communities of far north Queensland were batoning down for cyclone Larry. The severe winds and rain wiped out much of the banana industry tore through sugar cane crops and left many other primary producers facing big losses. Today, we go back to some of the properties we visited in the days after the disaster, to see how people are recovering one year on from cyclone Larry.
- They destroy crops, devastate livestock, damage fences, pollute the environment and carry disease, and there are 24 million of them in Australia. In some areas, the feral pig is the number one pest threat to farmers. One of those regions is far north Queensland, where there has been an explosion in pig numbers. The pests are wiping out sugar cane and banana crops, and even encroaching upon urban areas.
- It is perhaps appropriate the latest shot-in-the-arm for Australia's sugar industry may well be administered by a Queensland nurse. For the past 10 years Sonya Maley has been working on a radical value-adding process and she is determined to prove there is more to cane than crystallised sugar.
