Rico Ocampo, whose family has been selling goods at Broadacres for more than 20 years, said his parents rely on the market for income.
“As a family, we’re facing questions like: What are we going to do about the mortgage payment, with groceries? How are we going to recover from this?” he said.

There's marginal broadacres between Mildura and Broken Hill, visible as you travel the Silver City Highway. You could have massive solar farms and run sheep on them. Sheep get shade when it's a gazillion degrees in summer. Also possible for grass to actually grow because it's not being burnt off.

Broadacres wasn’t just a marketplace—it was a strategy, a survival plan, a grassroots economy built by immigrants who knew how to turn scarcity into opportunity. Shutting it down won’t break us. It reminds us: we need to organize smarter, protect our spaces, and own our futures. #Pinks
