24.01.2022 I made this house with soil, how is it?
22.01.2022 This glorious photo of a group of Minang Maaman was taken at Albany by a visiting German photographer, Gustav Riemer in 1877. Here it’s been run through a colou...riser and a restoration process. I’m wondering whether the gentleman second from the right is Wandinyil, a well-known Minang Elder. See more

21.01.2022 In Tasmania they log giant eucalyptus homes of critically endangered Swift Parrots, leave them behind and burn them. Shocking photographs by Rob Blakers of The... Tree Projects Steve Pearce in logged Swift Parrot habitat. Today’s attention by Guardian Australia to the 2019 logging of vital Swift Parrot habitat in forest coupe DN007C west of Judbury and neighbouring proposed logging of DN007B is a shameful example of Tasmania’s logging agencies logging Swift Parrot habitat despite written formal advice by experts that these forests are critical to Swift Parrot survival, Jenny Weber said. Tell Premier Gutwein he needs to Save Swift Parrots - follow link https://www.bobbrown.org.au/ssparrots Bob Brown Foundation is calling for urgent action from the State and Federal Government to protect the critically endangered Swift Parrot and all its habitat. Tasmania is down to the last remnants of Swift Parrot habitat and the logging of this critically endangered species habitat is not stopping despite the urgent need to curb the species decline to extinction, Bob Brown Foundation’s Jenny Weber said. The relentless logging of Tasmania’s southern forests for woodchips and timber is driven by the requirements of the controversial Borneo logging company Ta Ann. Given the huge carbon storehouse, wildlife habitat and tourism potential for Tasmania's native forests, they should be transferred to National Parks and STT disbanded. The time to end native forest logging is now, Jenny Weber said. #politas
21.01.2022 G'day, crew. Just remembering that we live on a land with the oldest living culture on the planet. I know a lot of us are craving to jump on planes & go trave...lling when all this is over, but again, I ask what are the lessons during this time of retraction? Do I truly know the sacred lands in my own backyard? Last year I went out to the oldest man-made structures on the planet. Walls & catchers built into the river at Brewarrina, western NSW. Shallow storage pools for fish to be eaten later. Deep river pockets walled off to store fish for when the river goes down when the season turns. 200 years ago when Europeans first came across it they asked the local mob, "Who built this?" They said, "It was built back in the dreaming. Baiami stepped on the land & they were created." It's about 900kms from here... But only a couple of hours from where my aunties live. Archeologists say it's over 50,000 years old. Ualari is the local mob, but our mob, Gamilaroi, were also one of the many that used to come to celebrate & eat here. Koamu, Morowari, Kula, & Weilwan were mobs that all celebrated at the different seasons. Imagine how many generations were between 50,000 years ago & 200 years ago. Realise the immensity of what we're not being taught about. 8 mobs used to eat & celebrate abundantly in the same place. I'm done with the rhetoric of 'struggling hunter-gatherer,' bullshit in our history books. There was a thriving civilisation that knew how to live in harmony with neighbours for over 50,000 years here. Ularu is great, sure. Go visit. But each state, each region, each mob has sacred places that if you ask politely & tread lightly, will re-shape the way you see this land. Enlightenment & connection to spirit doesn't just happen in the jungle in Peru. (This image was taken when they cleared many of the walls & pools to get a ferry line through there from Sydney. They're still worth visiting). Only 3% of Australias's population is Koori. Remember the stories. Listen & tell the yarns with respect. And as the aunties say, "Tread lightly." @yarnaustralia
19.01.2022 Upcoming upskilling! Immersion is the way to learn. Build your foundations of ecological land-management decision-making in our bioregion. What can regenerati...ve farming look like at its greatest capacity? It's untold as of yet; but we've been dedicated to the doing/real-learning to enable us to work towards what the world needs of it.

18.01.2022 'In the State Prison of Southern Michigan in the 1970s, there was - quite by accident - and experiment exploring some of these ideas. Because of the way the pri...son was build, half the prisoners' cells looked out over rolling farmland and trees, and half looked out onto bare brick walls. An architect named Ernest Moore studied the medical records for these different groups of prisoners (who didn't differ in any other way), and he found that if you were in the group who could see the natural world, you were 24 percent less likely to get physically or mentally sick. "I have to say," Professor Howard Frumkin - one of the leading experts on this subject in the world - told me later, "that if we had a medication for which the preliminary results showed such efficacy, we would be all over researching that medication... Here is a treatment that has very few side effects, is not expensive, doesn't require a trained or licensed professional to prescribe it, and has pretty good evidence of efficacy so far." But the research is very hard to find funding for, he said, because "a lot of the shape of modern biomedical research has been defined by the pharmaceutical industry," and they're not interested because "it's very hard to commercialize nature contact." You can't sell it, so they don't want to know.' 'Lost Connections: Why you're Depressed and how to Find Hope' By Johann Hari
18.01.2022 We have a choice. Collapse biology or let mother nature breathe and be witness to an abundance we've never seen before. Listen to the rest of the interview with Josh Trent from Wellnessforce here: https://wellnessforce.com/dr-zach-bush-humanity-consciousn/
16.01.2022 A #handmade birthday #horihori for Ponos friend Yilla. Giving 3 year olds presents to last a lifetime. Teaching our children real skills young. #growfood #growforest Made from old #bandsaw , #flindersiaaustralis #fencepost handle, copper bolster and brass pin.
15.01.2022 I want to talk about this old fella here for a moment. This tree, a Eucalyptus obliqua, more commonly known as a stringybark; is one of the largest and oldest i...n the entire country - measuring 17 meters around its base. He stands in a logging coupe about to be felled, with 87% to be wood chipped. We also measured 13 trees that had a circumference of over 12 meters in just one section of this coupe. All a stones throw from the World Heritage Area. I don't like to push ideas onto other people, but this has to stop. There's no need for these ancient forests to be cut down. Our state government here in Tassie loses tens of millions of dollars every year doing so. I believe there's a place for forestry, we all use its products, but we don't need to clearfell old growth forests. If you can do me and this big old guy in the photo a favour. Share this message. Tell your mates what's going on. Come and visit it. Write to your local politician and our premier and tell them we don't want this to continue. I reckon he's got a bit more to offer than being turned into a piece of toilet paper or a floor board. Don't you? #SaveHomeTree : The Tree Projects To visit: Forestry Watch
14.01.2022 A new inside-outside bathhouse (shower and toilet) being built for the farm. Round pole timber frame constructed entirely from our own sweet chestnuts and oaks ...that died in the fires of October 2017. Pine roof boarding milled onsite from same. Wattle for wattle-and-daub walls from home-grown bamboo plus a neighbour's overzealous Acacia dealbata post-fire regrowth. Straw for the daub harvested onsite. Clay from just 20km distant. Local building, turning disaster into opportunity! See more
14.01.2022 THIS AWESOME WORLD! Thank you Wild Byron :)
13.01.2022 BREAKING: We, the Wangan and Jagalingou tribal warriors have re-established control of access to our Country leading to the Adani Carmichael Coal Mine site to e...nforce protection of our home lands. We are #StandingOurGround to evict Adani and end the desecration of our homelands. We will remain on country to enforce the eviction notice that we issued to Adani last week. Soon, Adani will start draining the water table and digging their mine, causing irreversible damage to our lands, our sites and our sacred Doongmabulla Springs. They have given us no choice but to take urgent action to protect water, defend our Country and maintain our right to preserve and practice our culture. We have been fighting against Adani’s Carmichael project for 10 years, it is our duty to continue. We demand Adani Australia abandon their Carmichael mine project immediately. #StandingOurGround #EvictAdani
04.01.2022 If you don’t believe me how good the Earth Lodge is at @sabisabireserve then watch the video and see just how amazing the accomodation is..It’s on the top of th...e bucket list for next visit to South Africa for me....can’t thank Travel Jar enough for this incredible experience. #sabisabiearthlodge #sabisabireserve #africa #traveljar @travel_jar See more
01.01.2022 Aussie-Reishi Rooting around in the scrub behind the sand dunes the other day I can across a great little crop of Ganoderma. In addition to Reishi proper (G. Lu...cidium) there are some 300 species documented in the literature. I’ve used our woody indigenous G.Appalonutum previously for cancer clients, but I believe these to be G. praelongum. I’d love to hear from any lay or pro mycologists however! Image key: a. Ganoderma orbiformum; b. G. perzonatum; c. G. praelongum; d. G. praelongum; e. G. philippi; f. G. resinaceum; g. G. sessiliforme; h. G. stipitatum; i. G. testaceum https://researchbank.swinburne.edu.au//Lyndal%20Margaret%2
