Over the years Buck has been visited by many television personalities. The most well-known include Maggie Beer, Mike Whitney, Paul Mercurio and Frankie J Holden. They have aired Buck on their televised shows – The Cook and the Chef, Sydney Weekender, Mercurio’s Menu, What’s Up Down Under and Better Homes and Gardens.

Buck has also had many writers compose articles about his farm. This has been promoting the Gold Coast Hinterland, informing people of the beauty that surrounds the Tweed. It has been a great tourist read in magazines and newspapers such as Ocean Road, NRMA, Inflight Jetstar, Master Chef, and the Gold Coast Bulletin.
