I am at Mt Crosby near Brisbane. There are quite a few like-minded folks around here. Not sure how many are on Permies but we get together for produce swaps, two weeks apart in two locations.

Cheers

Hi Natasha 👋

Thank you FA
I must admit I only know mollison by name, it was about 15 years ago when I first went library hopping lol
My family has been here for almost 200 years, so building onto existing stuff is kinda the only option here
Not that I'm complaining, it means I have 7 generations of knowledge to build on, which isn't very common in Australia, at least not for people as pale as me
I'll definitely have a look at that link
Thanks again

Yeah we've been on high alert for fires lately. Had about 4 in the past fortnight that have been uncomfortably close. We're just over the hill from the big laidley one that happened over the last couple days.
We also don't have mains water, only rain tanks and paddock dams (which are all empty at the moment), so we're usually on some kind of water restrictions, but now it's really drastic. Dad and I have been discussing where he's gonna put a long drop (my dad grew up with one so he's loath to go back, too many cold nights and interrupting huntsman's lol)

Yeah I have 3 zucchini I planted 4 months ago from seedlings that are 10cm tall and only producing male flowers, so I'm not even gonna bother with any curcubits... (except maybe choko lol)

Kate
Thank you

I can't say I have, but I'm only now getting back into permaculture, was sick for a few years and back when I was discovering it we only had dialup, so most of my research was in libraries and opshops lol
I'll definitely look him up tho

Thank you everyone for being lovely, I'll upload some photos later of my various structures, finished and otherwise

Uh hi
I literally just stumbled across this forum while googling how to make olla lol
I'm Jaime, in South East Queensland Australia, live on 40 acres with my parents and sister, and am currently sneaking in permaculture principals and structures in the gardens lol
We're currently in a horrible drought and are pumping water from my Nan's dam down the road to water the veggies and pot plants, so probably won't be doing many more plantings for a while lol
But we just put a shadecloth tunnel over the veggie garden, and I'm slowly building some terracing so the pumpkin and corn will have a bit of a better chance when it does rain.
I've probably been rambling on too long
I look forward to bingeing all the information on here and hopefully meet some lovely people
