10.01.2022 During the Covid 19 lockdown, I've had several people ask me for information on rocket stoves - and why not - rocket stoves are awesome and would make a great project if you've got time on your hands and have to stay home. I love my rocket stove and the fact that I can cook five pizzas simultaneously using a home-made oven that's powered by scrappy sticks and building off-cuts can never be a bad thing!

05.01.2022 Our local climate action group BREAZE (Ballarat Renewable Energy and Zero Emissions Inc) asked me to do a talk about a permaculture perspective on how to increase household sustainability. The talk was scheduled months before the Corona virus hit us and morphed as the date approached. What would have been an hour long public talk turned into an online presentation. Rather than do a simple talking head rave to laptop camera, I got a bit excited and filmed little snippets around the farm then cobbled them together to make a 35 minute video.

04.01.2022 Built a new mobile goat house so the girls can be zoomed to different parts of the property but still have shelter. It's pretty fancy! Importantly, light and easy to move.. and same colour scheme as recent buildings so we're getting a bit of a theme going!

04.01.2022 When it comes to building, I have an enthusiasm for recycling old materials and giving them a new life. This probably goes back to childhood days building cubby houses out of bush poles or scavenged materials... but it's stuck with me and I get real enjoyment from taking something that might otherwise be thrown away and using it to make a beautiful useful building.
