Australia once grew its own dates at Saracen farm
A fragmented report describes a historical effort in rural Australia to cultivate dates in New South Wales and the Northern Territory. It notes the site’s three mounds, the 20 year development, and the aim to establish a self sustaining plantation with irrigation, camel teams, and a transport network. The piece references the Sapiries, local names, and the long struggle to move toward a stable date industry, including mentions of weather, floods, and early workers.
