Take a full look around this central infrastructure zone within a large-scale macadamia orchard. This interactive 360° image lets you explore in every direction — revealing how water and operations are managed across the site.
👀 What to look for:
- Main dam (behind the shed): Stores large volumes of irrigation water for use across the orchard.
- Turkey nest (raised rectangular pond): A gravity-fed holding dam that helps distribute water efficiently across the blocks.
- Pump shed & machinery shed: Located near the bottom of the image — these are the operational heart of the site, supporting equipment, irrigation controls, and logistics.
- Surrounding orchard rows: Macadamia trees planted in all directions, showing how this infrastructure supports the wider farm.

360° View: Compost Pad & Orchard Infrastructure
This 360-degree image captures a central operations zone within a large-scale macadamia orchard. Surrounded by rows of planted macadamia trees, the area includes the machinery shed, pump shed, and a dedicated compost pad — all supporting the day-to-day running of the farm.
The compost pad is used to store and manage delivered compost, which is then applied throughout the orchard to help improve soil structure, boost moisture retention, and support healthy tree growth.
With water storage infrastructure nearby — including the dam and turkey nest — this hub plays a key role in the farm’s broader sustainability efforts and efficient large-scale management.
Regeneration Area
This aerial image captures a former sugarcane block that, after years of neglect, is now being actively regenerated to restore ecological health and function. Once cleared and left to deteriorate, the land had become overgrown and degraded — but is now entering a new phase of renewal.
As part of a long-term restoration plan, native trees are being planted in partnership with Traditional Owners and environmental specialists, bringing cultural knowledge and ecological expertise together. Structured planting rows and early signs of green growth point to a landscape in transition. Natural features like drainage lines and remnant vegetation are being retained and integrated to support biodiversity.
Next door, new macadamia orchard blocks are being established. In these areas, a carefully selected seed mix is starting to sprout, forming the foundation of a living interrow groundcover that will enhance soil health and orchard resilience.
What was once a cane block is now becoming part of a more connected, regenerative future.
