I'm still seeking, for a friend, info about land for sale in southern
California, so please write me.
Another friend wrote me with the following question:
Do you think there would be interest from the Permaculture community
for a 96 acre beachfront property on the coral coast of Fiji? The
land has a creek running through with beautiful sandy beaches, clear
fresh water and excellent soil. At one time I had the opportunity to
have a 1/6th share and was in the process of setting this place up
as a beach resort/adventure destination but also as a location to
run Permaculture Design Courses. I talked to Bill Mollison about
this at one time many years ago.
Anyway..........I was wondering if this would be of interest as a
place that Permaculturists might be interested in to possibly own as
a getaway for vacations but also as a destination to run
Permaculture design courses etc etc. There are 12 modern 'bure'
style accomodation units which could house up to 50 people so all
major infrastructure is there. I know the land owners, the Chief of
the adjoining village and wonder, initially as an idea, if it could
work to have it eventually owned and managed by Permaculture
folks.........which would be great and I'd get behind it and work to
see if this could come together. I just wanted to know if you knew
people that might have an interest in this.
There is a brief brochure that one of the resort owners did at one
time to start promoting the resort which we named 'Gaia Fiji'.
