DAY 3: Permaculture Design Certificate Course 2010 with Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton

I wish Sydney had one of those 🙂

Today started with a refreshing walk (a long one, actually) from a friend’s apartment to the University of Melbourne, where the course is taking place. It’s amazing how many interesting things you see, when you walk! Like these bike rental stands located all around Melbourne. I’ve been in Melbourne for 4 days now, but I only registered what these stands are today. On my walk. Walking rejuvenates the soul.

Thoughts & Ideas

Sooner or later, everything stops.

“You are very good at this,” said Bill
“No, I’m not. I’ve never done this before,” replied Greg

Tree is vertical standing water. Forests are lakes.

You don’t cut down trees to grow trees, or to grow cabbages. That’s what we’ve always done.

Global Permaculture project – keep your eye on it! Soon you will hear it everywhere.

Desert is a desert because it has more evaporation than rainfall. It’s a dry place. It has nothing to do with lack of trees. In deserts we need to lower garden beds to protect from wind, and create shade to protect from sun.

And Now Some Inspiration!

I am a visual person, and I am very inspired by the space of University of Melbourne. I would like to share some images from this morning’s wonder through the grounds.
