Sunrise Farm

Tam and Pete's house: A lovely example of pasive solar house design catching the winter sunlight.


Cutting swales into a hill diverts the natural water flow to the plants. Watching this is the lovely Drew and his dog (I've forgotten her name)
Pete is passionate about native wattles. He has collected countless varieties of wattle seeds and hopes to produce these products to supply organic growers. Seed collection and species preservation is something he has been involved with for a long time...
Dean (in the beanie) and his partner Tracy were responsible for the creation of three "Food Groups" on their travels. Now at Sunrise Farm each member pays $50 a week for a box full of gorgeous organic produce couriered from Melbourne once a week. The more people join, the more variety in produce they can afford. The weekly distribution get-together!
Skye is using a cooler Pete made from terracotta pots with terracotta wine coolers inside

Here is an inside composting loo. LOVELY!!!
