20.01.2022 Gorgeous juicy olives from the 'hood

20.01.2022 We rescued this damaged Victorian door from hard rubbish and its come up a treat! (really wish wed taken a before photo)

20.01.2022 The elder flowers are especially fluffy this year! Learning how important it is to pick them in the morning when the bees are buzzing all over them. Makes such a difference to the flavour! Those bees know! #elderflowers #cordial #seasonal #bees #being in tune #bumper season #la Nina

19.01.2022 Say no to single use plastics

19.01.2022 Website update...

18.01.2022 It’s going to be a bumper quince year! ...as long as the parrots and possums learn to share! We don’t like our chances, so we’ll have to put up the protections soon.

18.01.2022 Getting ready to clad the ceiling. Glad we didnt include you in the disgusting prep, involving way, way too much dust and dirt!

17.01.2022 Remember the ceiling shots from a couple of posts ago? The wonderful people from ecoMaster and the lovely Joel @thermahomeau helped us get it all sorted. The comfy looking blanket under the ply; was made in Melbourne, is recyclable and made from PET plastics, fire safe and totally safe We even had the 11 year old helping! Not so keen on carrying it all indoors, even though it was super light and we felt like Super people in the beginning! There were a lot of bags!

16.01.2022 So, Victoria, over a week of double zeros!! Very proud of our community and the effort we put in for each other! It is important to recognise that the cost has been different for each one of us and for some of us it’s been(& continues to be) really hard. Back when we could our little fam was lucky enough to enjoy some time away in nature between putting up ceilings! Enjoy the great outdoors, now that we can again. We deserve it! stay safe everyone and remember to be kind...

15.01.2022 2 of the stools we found at retro rehab, thanks. And yes that is Arnold the cat checking things out.

15.01.2022 Here we are at the start of NAIDOC week and we are posting about our ceilings. We are very excited about both! Always Was, Always Will Be.

14.01.2022 How exciting! The heat pump for the geo thermals has arrived! (we know it doesn't look very exciting)

14.01.2022 Gorgeous juicy olives from the hood

13.01.2022 What could we be using these lovelies for...

13.01.2022 Then came the bluestone!

13.01.2022 Broccoli looking good, with happy garlic in between.

12.01.2022 SO many things are coming up roses today! Melbourne’s ‘ring of steel’ comes down at the end of today! The first female, ethnicity diverse Vice President has just been elected in America! The day is beautiful and it’s our 8th day of double donuts! Let’s, just for now, bask in that...

12.01.2022 Meeting place...

12.01.2022 Then we got signage! Happy Saturday everyone!

11.01.2022 The cafe/deli will have lots of plants throughout for atmosphere, connection and sound quality

10.01.2022 In the beginning there was a very old, rickety, annoying roller door and then there was hoarding and then there were 3 gorgeous bluestone pieces! ...courtesy of the Victorian Stonemasons Collective’s vault.

10.01.2022 Hump day is almost over and hopefully yours has been a good one! @_dragonfly_cafe was going to post the photos of the door that filled the space in our last post ... then we noticed this little delight! For those that don’t know, setting up this project is a legacy to my parents They were all about community, food and sustainability (may have taken that one a bit too far and become hoarders) This was Mum’s and I can’t remember the last time I saw it flower! #nofilter #legacy #community #foodwithlove #flowers #junglecactus

10.01.2022 A pre amble to the next lot of lives which will flesh out how we impliment our values of Connection, Sophistication, Integrity, Wellbeing and Education.
