Day 11.... the second last day..... and night! (yep it was dinner and party night - always an important aspect of the course)
During the day it was all about getting going on our mini group design projects that were to be presented the following day - but there was also more theory units to undertake.... With John leading the group the focus was on intentional communities (like bend - bega eco neighbourhood development - which John played an instrumental role... he had a lot of valuable experience to impart) and on planning for disaster.
Later in the evening my kiddies came to visit and have dinner with the group - they had a ball running around the place and even more fun when the evening's entertainment (everyone was asked to contribute a litte something to the night's entertainment.... so we had Damon as master of ceremonies (and player of mighty fine blues and roots.... he stepped in between acts with little ditties..... including his 'permaculture' song..... funnnneeee!), Cam juggled, Mog showed pics of her arty-work, John sang an old redgum classic, Dan showed off his yogic balancing tricks, Peti gave a slide show of her lovely rock home, Penny, (a wwoofer who helped to feed us over the 2 weeks) with her most beautific unaccompanied voice, sang a C14th sacred tune, Dean (caretaker of 'the crossing') recited one of his poems, Eric sang and played guitar, and me? I read the Margaret Wild/ Ron Brooks classic children's picture book, 'Fox'......
and a good time was had by all.... (I was too busy enjoying myself to take pics!)
