Drew takes Permaculture Home
"Hmm.a testimonial perhaps...
Retrospect...
I feel like I have been blessed with a new perspective on the world since graduating and surviving the Permaforest Trust! The PFT has been hugely influential with how I operate as a Community Garden Co-ordinator at Picket Fence Community Centre in St Mary's, Adelaide and also my other job as a Bicycle Education Officer with Bike Ed at Primary Schools around South Australia. The ideas and experience at the PFT really put a lot of things into perspective and certainly helped shape what I am doing now. The Integral aspects have also filtered into my life and I have been putting energy into pursuing more knowledge of those frameworks and philosophies. I have been a regular up at Buddha House in Adelaide and continue to visit the 'Learn to Meditate' Class with phenomenal discoveries every time.
Home is...
I am currently living with three other lovely 'homies' just south of Adelaide city about 4kms. Our house is cranking with compost toilets, chicken runs, vegie patches (there is only about 4sq.m left of lawn out of about 40!), grey water recycling systems (simple style), co-operative food sharing and shopping, a great set of chores and penalties (essential), we have a house meeting occasionally and generally everyone gets on just fine!
The future....
Although unwritten...I hope for a job that pays in excess of 100k or if that doesn't happen just a job that is fulfilling and helps me achieve my aspirations for land (with orchard and vegie patches!) and potentially communal living or co-housing...

Anyway running out of time here in sunny Pt Pirie where I am working at the moment....
Sunny days and lead smelters..."
