I had been WWOOFing for many years and became interested in permaculture by seeing it in action across Victora. I participated in some of the early permablitzes in Melbourne with Grubby and the crew. This took me to a Gravel Hill Garden's PDC, with Dave Holmgren & Darren Doherty and a few others.
After an epic WWOOFing trip up the east coast of Australia, I embarked on a Cert IV in Permaculture with Tim Winton which became a Diploma.
Along the way I've done numerous short courses at Djanbung Gardens and elsewhere. I've also spent time WWOOFing in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
I'm currently coordinating a 6 month Certificate III program course with an awesome team at Mullumbimby Community Garden.
