Longreach Campus at the AACC
We find out about the Longreach Campus of the Australian Agricultural College Corporation, which focuses on training for arid zone livestock. We hear from the teachers who were once students, and why students travel across the country to study there.
The Australian Agricultural College Corporation (AACC) was formed in 2005 when the Australian College of Tropical Agriculture (incorporating Burdekin Agricultural College and Mareeba Environmental College), Dalby Agricultural College, Emerald Agricultural College and Longreach Pastoral College joined forces.
AACC combines more than 130 years' experience in agricultural education and training in a range of specialisations, across five campuses located in a range of different geographic and climatic regions.
The AACC has training grounds totaling 59 800 hectares throughout Queensland.
