    from the book:
    Yeomans, P.A. (1958). The Challenge of Landscape. Sydney, NSW: Keyline Publishing Pty Ltd. (out of print)
    www.soilandhealth.org/01aglibr...
    The film opens with sweeping views of Yobarnie and Nevallan, North Richmond NSW. Keyline and other dams are shown along with a water release for irrigation. Grazing cattle are also seen.
    The film then shifts to a yet to be confirmed property where the complete pictorial demonstration of the building of a Keyline (Saddle) Dam takes place.
    Building a Keyline Dam at a Saddle (A Contour and Functional Plan-Enhanced) 1958

    Notes:
    1. The saddle itself is the Keypoint and is the exit point for a natural gently-falling dam spillway into the opposite Primary Valley on the other side of the Main Ridge.
    See Fig. 7 in Chapter 6 (Land Shape) of the above book:
    www.soilandhealth.org/01aglibr...
    2. For the final smoothing of the reintroduced top soil over the dam wall itself, the use of a dragged chain between two bulldozers travelling in parallel along the wall crest and the toes of the wall is shown.

    The lat/long location of the saddle starting point of the survey process of dam shown in this film is:
    Latitude 33°14'18.91"S Longitude 149°10'41.42". The running man in the film was probably Reg Marshal (farm manager) and the tractor driver may have been Alan Davies. This was on "Kencarley" a ~3,000 acre Keyline Experimental farm near Orange in Central Western NSW.

      Thank you so much for identifying the location of 'Kencarley'. I've always wondered where it was, remembering that P A wrote that the dam was going to be 'the biggest farm dam in the Commonwealth' due to its unique topography. Was the property ever fully Keyline developed, do you know?

      There are a few dams in the area now. 33°14'18.9"S 149°10'41.4"E
      Actually doesn't look anything like a keyline design at that spot. There is one dam that faces the opposite direction. It looks like vacation homes toward the town of Orange. The lushest place is Summer Creek feeding Suma Park Reservoir presumably for the Town of Orange. I think people repurposed the dams for domestic use rather than "hydrating the land." Selling the land off to the people who have it now, from the air, looks more like water hoarding.

      Hi Darren,
      As you will know, P A Yeomans himself wisely & assiduously donated his own 'high end' creative works to NSW & National institutions and beyond; books, booklets, photographs and films.
      In 1983, P A's colleague in Melbourne screened for me his 16mm reel film copy of 'Keyline in New Caledonia'.
      Earlier, in 1980 I had found, through a manual card search at the State Library of Victoria that the State Library of NSW held a 16mm reel film entitled 'Keyline'.
      As P A's colleague had never heard of the film 'Keyline', I did a free inter-library loan and telecined both to a Betamax tape. Later I converted them both to a VHS tape and then finally converted them myself to individual digitized videos.
      My titled video 'Water Harvesting & Keyline' was got in 2011 through an inter- library loan from Flinders University's State Film & Video Library of South Australia Collection as a 16mm reel film and telecined by myself to a digitized video.
      Similarly my titled video 'Keyline at Carisbrooke' was also got in 2011 through an inter-library loan from The University of Western Sydney Library as a VHS tape and converted by myself to a digitized video.
      Good old inter-library loans!
      Even now with the aid of the internet, I think that I have found the last of any completed films by P A Yeomans; I do however know of unspecified footage held privately which needs to be followed up.
      There could be a gem in there!
      Regards
      Geoff

    Paul has saved me. I have garden. But it's a crippled garden & now I have full time garden job. Zuchinni for example almost not doable.
    Paul's garden isn't easy yoke light burden. Paul is an arborist he has all the peices... but can't quite connect the dots somehow. Good God he has 16 inches of chips originally placed under fruit trees. Seriously? That represents preposterous amountsof absolutely gargantuan fuel soaked huffing machinery tonnage of ruthless mega ear splitting horsepower. Ever split wood? Ever make your own wood chips with an axe?
    I don't subscribe2 splitting wood. Bcuz I believe in easy yoke light burden. I prefer branches4 fire. I get Paul's attitude.
    Paul has exploited a niche. That is possible but very difficult without anywhere near the ease as he enjoys in OREGON. As an arborist
    Oregon is cool. With ocean breezes, short days, which incidentaly houses VERY FEW INSECT PESTS.
    Soil here in Oklahoma is SILT CLAY. Which after worms aerate it, becomes WATERPROOF. Bible say seedmust land on GOOD SOIL. Which doesn't exist everywhere. Fortunately, Paul's method softens those boundaries.
    I live just above Mexico in latitude. There is no way in this ferocious heat &no marine layer moisture that my soil can be kept wet. There are no woodchippers south Oklahoma. I tried gathering decayed wood chips. Now I only collect leaves. It's do able full time, if u are retired. Or there are 2 or more of u. Teamwork = VERY do able.
    Worms eat leaves fast as I can replace. My water bill is now struggling. I can't keep pace. Had I lived in north Missouri, I bet my soil might stay wetter. But here, I get much more rain then Missouri, but our PARTICULAR soil dries extremely fast. Plants almost buried, still too dry.
    I do not think my leaves work as good as woodchipper mulch too much air. BY THE WAY. I live in a RAIN FOREST technically. Thus I enjoy rain, max natural mulch but STILL can't keep up with my Eden garden. But I am sold on it cuz its my only hope.
    I did Back to Eden garden looong b4 Paul did. When I lived near him in LA. He spent his whole life arriving at his nitch where I nailed it off the 1st bat my 1st complete garden.
    LA enjoyed COOL WET MARINE LAYER. which kept soil moist, like Oregon. (cool nights)
    TEMPERATURE by itself dries the devil out of soil. My ground temp days averages 140 f 3 months. Little rain summer. If I get torrential rain, my plants still begin wilting in days.
    "you must work in the sweat of your face. "
    Life now is a punishment. The sun itself is blasting earth angrily now 4 a reason, burning 1/3 my plants& even scorching my oak trees. God is angry.
    God is not here to climax with garden movement, but Armageddon.
    The promised land was OVER THERE. Where the good, even PREMIUM CONDITIONS were.
    Paul has a much lower IQ then & I &suffers with exaggeration but has been gardening far longer& has made a garden possible where b4 I would never had made it near as quickly.
    With his endless tear soaked emotion &God's miracles on the brain he also fails 2ever acknowledge simplest of wood chip reality. Of say, fulvic &humic acids which hydrate cells& are used on oil outrigger drill bits 2loosen soil. Ok. I get it. ...creation is a miracle but get your head on straight.
    In the garden, the woman was thoroughly deceived. By shape of the eyeball. Eve mated with Satan literally. People meanwhile, especially TODAY, are thoroughly deceived on You Tube they aren't interested in subbing2 reality they subscribing to emotion. Which is easily manipulated if only u have just the right costume& ofcourse carry a cane.
    Paul has extremely poor Bible diction. I work with elite angelic forces and have spoken with persons who were THERE in the garden Eden including Lucifer. Adams wife was cloned memory intact. We have interviewed her. 2 years ago. Plus Bible teaches Satan was a cherub. No. Satan wrote that in Bible. He was the lords elder brother of 2 million years Satan was Yahuahs 1st original direct son.
    Paul constantly elaborates on ASPECTS OF bible which was half written by Satan. He has apostle Paul on the brain. Apostle Paul was Satan's. There was no 13th disciple lol. Like Bible Paul, garden Paul is both world-leading and vastly erroneous all at once. I've learned from him, but just keep scratching my head.
    Read free MY INTERVIEW WITH THE DEVIL SHERRY SHRINER.
    Humic acid doesn't take years but is instantaneous. It is this acid specifically they pump down in2 drill bits 2build underground bases and drill 4 oil. It works insantantly.
    I take mulch to the next level & add green weeds I pull as mulch. Mulch does nothing. SMOTHERING MULCH of green weeds is near insantaneous because it's becoming sewage vs dry hay.
    Example. Your fruit tree is dying july. Smother THICK with green weeds. The tree will explode.
    I also use green weeds tea. Not compost. Compost isn't the term. Humic acid is what is saturating the cellular level. Satans master Gardner's will trick u with the term fluffy compost. Secondly u will need a fleet of precision demons and time & equipment 2regulate all that nonsense. also they tell u only comfrey works. No I just use any softer weeds. like dandelion, lambquarter, poke. But it all works.
    Throw it in water, the smell subsides in a week. Add ten part water 2 one part. unlike compost, it can be added 2leaves.
    Never ever do what Satan's masters tell u and build wood raised beds. Use stone. Humic acid makes a termite look like a godsend. It will consume fence posts like candy. Never place garden uphill of your home unless u surround foundation with cement walks. Humic acid devours decks, and sinks foundations.
