Summary

Image taken at the 2003 Yarram Women on Farms Gathering depicting the foyer to the Yarram Regent Theatre where the Gathering was held. The table on the left was used to display promotional material from the Gathering's sponsors. The map in the foreground allowed women to place a pin on the location from which they had travelled. Gathering participant Margaret Roots from Warragul can be seen in the background.

The Invisible Farmer Project was the largest ever study of Australian women on the land, uncovering the histories and stories of Australian women in agriculture. It began as a pilot project (2015-2016) and evolved into a three year (2017-2020) nation-wide partnership between rural communities, academic, government and cultural organisations, funded by the Australian Research Council.
