Hi everyone,
I am a total noob, and I should really do more research before I dive into things (but I will balance that out by hiring an actual permaculturist for design and implementation and teaching me, so it should be all good). Anyways...
I want to buy land for permaculture (obviously), but all I can really afford is desert land (i'm in Australia btw, so even the lush areas area bordering desert territory lol). So I want to know if it is even worth me buying this piece of land before I do so, I need some rough ideas on whether a permaculturist (who I think has done some of Geoff Lawtons courses) could actually establish a food forest on this site, or if even they would struggle with it then all hope is surely lost and I would certainly drop the idea of buying it.
I don't have any soil samples or anything (which I know is super important lol), but these pictures and statistics is all I have right now to give an idea of what this land is.
The average rainfall over the last 10 years was 9.5''
But the average rainfall over the last 5 years is only 7.5''
The hottest day on record was in January which was 117 degrees F
The coldest day in the last 5 years was 29 degrees which was in 2018
in 2017 it had 65 consecutive days of no rain

Please, any advice is helpful, I need to know if this will be just 'another job' for a permaculturist or a near impossible task (that will let me know whether I should try buy it or not). Thank you
