In my travels, I've been blessed to meet these fine visionary Spirits:

I've been thoroughly impressed and enlightened by:

Permaculture Teacher/Innovator, Singer/Songwriter, Robyn Frances, Creator of Djanbung Gardens,

in Nimbin, NSW

("Djanbung" = "platypus" in local aboriginal dialect)

Luscious fully mature permaculture setting; veggies and fruits growing freely, ripe for the shared exotic meals under the stars & for a snack while swimming in the pond, amidst lavendar & pink lotus blossums and lilypads, frogs, and a heap of ducks, chickens, geese, turkeys, and extraordinary wildlife. Cool people too!

Last week's delights:

A lifechanging tea with:

Mudbrick Builder Brian Woodward & Sally Middleton

of EARTHWAYS,

in Wollombi, NSW;

Enjoyed the cool and comforting beauty of Mudbrick building method originated & manifested with his beautiful 2-story mudbrick home on 300 acres, a 25-year ever-evolving labor of love.  A home as a work of art, just like I like!
