From the Editors’ Desk
17/12/2024

Hello! Here we are again with another jam-packed edition of our Ecovillage newsletter, as we enter the first summer Wadandi season of Birak.  In Birak, the Karrack (Red-tailed) and Mannitj (White-tailed) Black cockatoos announce their welcome presence across the village with shrill cries as they look for food to feed ...

The Green Season – Gardening Tips for Autumn

At last, after a long, dry parched season, we’ve had some relieving rain. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we can get a lot of leverage out of the water that falls from the sky in the wet season that’s ahead of us. Plants, soil fauna and ...
