Great video showing how they are greening the dessert with premaculture and putting in fruit trees and the magic of mushrooms.

Wow! Permaculture rocks! Thanks for sharing. There might be hope for Australia still.

the other extreme of weather conditions would be the north of Scotland where Findhorn is... www.findhorn.org don't think they're permaculture, but they get stuff that shouldn't be growing there, even in greehouses growing.....

There are lots of cheap farms in Australia that nobody wants!

I would love to buy a farm and replant it. My goal is to have a large property with organic stuff growing everywhere and little cottages where people can come and stay to transition to raw for free or by donation. Wouldn't that be lovely? And a camping area too for those who like to sleep outdoors. Beautiful.

Lots of work... what a challenge!

I would love to visit Findhorn. I have read many experiences over the years of the great work going on there. Love being the biggest contributor to their program is such an interesting concept.

Hey RC, this is the most inspiring vid I've seen in ages. If they can do that... we all can. Thank you soooo much for posting it.
