Sam Slack lives on a family farm near Gayndah in Central Quuensland, he wanted a sawmill from an early age. He attended field days and farm management courses from when he was eleven and formed his philosophy on timber production from a broad field of information. As his property had large areas of standing timber, value adding that resource and broadening the enterprise base of the family business was a logical progression. Sam quickly realised the importance of good forest management in maintaining productivity to ensure their future resource and has incorporated this philosophy into a business the whole family is involved in.
