Tributes
  1. Sincere sympathy on the passing of Mal.
    My sister and I met Mal on a visit to the farm where
    we grew up which later became the blueberry farm belonging to Mal.
    Mal was very friendly and kindly gave us a bit of a tour around the farm so we could see the changes and also reminisce about our childhood memories there.
    Rest in peace Mal and may your family find comfort, peace and strength in God’s promises.
    Prayers and best wishes from Heidi and Anita.

  2. A foundation member of Mountain Rivers Landcare Group in 2000 and past President , we have lost a person of vast knowledge and expertise.
    A very practical man, always seeking a more sustainable approach to farming, with Moondarra Blueberries being a testament to his lateral thinking, drive and vision.
    Mal will be sorely missed but the memories are in abundance.
