Back home in SA

I got back from Kuranda, Far North Queensland, last Wednesday 29th September, from the 10th Australasian Permaculture Convergence, which was a wonderful and very productive experience. It was a gathering of very smart, thoughtful and dedicated people who are interested in ACTION, more than simply talking. Permaculture is the application of design principles based in ecology that enable people to live comfortably and productively within the context of their environment. It applies to agriculture, urban environments and also human social structures.


The Adelaide contingent at APC10, Kuranda: l-r Lachlan McKenzie, Kim Hill, Anne-Marie Brookman, Sophia MacRae, Pedro D, Eric Nicholson, Harry Harrison, Stephen Poole, Graham Brookman
absent: Clee Tonkin



 The Bushy Beard contingent at APC10, Kuranda: l-r Pete the Permie, Costa Georgiadis, Harry Harrison

I will be giving a public talk on Wednesday 20th September from 6pm-7pm at the Maylands Hotel, to share some of what I learned at the Convergence, and to answer any other questions and listen to what people have to say!
