This is an extract from episode 74 featuring the end of my conversation with the founding director and current Chair of Perth City Farm, Rosanne Scott. We’d just been talking about some of the powerful stories of Aboriginal heritage where City Farm is located. That lead to the exchange we start with here, about arts and culture being central to organising societies in holistic, fulfilling and effective ways. We go on to trace this theme through Rosanne’s life – from her childhood in Kolkata, to her early incarnation as a primary school teacher, and on through a host of divergent and extraordinary threads that led to City Farm, and beyond. We follow Rosanne through the Theosophical Society and Findhorn, to the PIA Wadjuri community and Wooleen Station in the Murchison, to Activate the Wheat Belt and the year of the pandemic. We end up at her life mantra, and some very moving and entertaining personal reflections.Title slide: Perth City Farm (supplied).You can hear the rest of our conversation in the main episode, ‘City Farm: From industrial wasteland to cultural icon, with founding director Rosanne Scott’. You’ll find a series of terrific photos on that web page too. The RegenNarration is an independent, ad-free, freely available podcast, thanks to the generous support of listeners.

74 Extract. Going the Distance: Rosanne Scott on holistic living, a life’s insights & old hymns

Last year was the 25th birthday of a cultural icon and regenerative hub, nestled into the inner eastern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. City Farm is an extraordinary place – an urban farm with a big vision. This half hectare block was a degraded industrial wasteland. But an inspired community transformed it into a place for organic food, farming, community connection, arts, enterprise and education that enables people to live richly and regeneratively. It’s first load of soil actually came from the original theatre production of another cultural phenomenon, Bran Nue Dae. So much of how City Farm came to be is an incredible story, often looking far from likely. And in the current context of the world, it feels like a powerful symbol of what’s possible, and an instructive experience for going about it.Rosanne Scott is a colourful, open-hearted visionary. She was founding director of City Farm for its first 17 years, and is now Chair. All the while, she has been a trailblazer across many other areas and projects, all over WA, and has been honoured by organisations across the political and cultural spectrum for her decades of pioneering work. Born in Calcutta to a South Indian Anglican Minister and accomplished Armenian mother, and initially a primary school teacher in Australia, not much of Rosanne’s story seemed particularly likely either. We met up at City Farm a couple of days ago for this conversation. Title slide: Rosanne Scott (supplied).
