permaculture

["Felicity Wright" <flickwright@ozemail.com.au>]

Like Toby, I'm heading off for a break in December. The main focus is
South-East Asia for 4-5 months and we intend to visit Indonesia, Malaysia,
Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and heading for Nepal in April and then
India. 

Am looking to visit any environmental/Permaculture projects or Indigenous
art/craft cooperatives along the way.

I am an active permaculturist (have Food Forest PDC 1999 and did Advanced
Permaculture Principles with David Holmgren in November 2007) who lives on
100 acres in semi-arid rural South Australia. We host WWOOFers, grow LOTS of
stuff, and are currently setting up an environmental education site (Black
Sheep Forest) that will be open to the general public from mid next year (as
soon as the composting toilets are financed). Luckily have great people to
mind and progress it in my absence. 

My day job is as a consultant working for/with Aboriginal remote community
art centres around Australia (20+ years), researcher, writer, Indigenous
arts advocate, curator, cross-cultural communication specialist, and fair
trade marketer/retailer. So have a strong interest in arts and handcrafts,
cooperatives and right livelihood.

It will be me and four kids (19, 17, 14 and 6), three of whom are physically
fit teenagers. As a package we have lots of skills we could share and are
not looking to bludge (Australian slang for free-loading). We want to learn
and contribute. Enjoy a laugh and making music, too. 

Also welcome visits or exchanges to my property from Permaculture
enthusiasts while away (just contact Karen using landline number below) or
when I get back sometime mid-year. 
 
Again, any contacts from this list would be most welcome. Feel free to
circulate this and/or contact me direct flickwright@ozemail.com.au 

Best wishes
Flick
