it’s time to build a boat
a canoe actually. Setting off early tomorrow morning for a mini-residency at Bundanon, about 3 hours south of Sydney, on an historic property now managed as a trust. This is going to be yet another chapter for Siteworks, “[…] an ongoing series of interactive projects focusing on the unique Bundanon properties: 1100 hectares of pristine […]
It’s SPRING, apparently..
So, the reason why Spring in Australia starts on the first of September is due to an army rule dating back to the start of the Australian colony, early 1800’s. At the time there were two uniform’s standards, the winter and the summer one. The change over, for all troops, was on the first day […]
on foraging and the legality of it
A recent article on the New York Times, appearing front page, is casting light on the practice of foraging, the growing reality of it, and the stress that might bring to a particular ecosystem. Interestingly the article has been picked up by a number of fellow naturalist on the web, who like yourself, offer foraging […]
a couple of links about weeds
The Last Stand of the Wild Flowers, as it appeared on the Independent a few years back. A poetic ode to weeds: To judge by the scores of visitors to the farm this year, weed-seeking is becoming a new country sport. So far Helen has taken 25 parties out among the weeds, and the demand […]

You have been invited by the Weeds Society of Victoria to present a paper at their annual symposium. This year focus and general threat amongst the various invited speakers was Contentious views on weeds, hence the invitation. By […]
humor! yes please

This time you found an urban forager, or rather an urban scout as Peter Bauer introduce himself. A cheeky and light-hearted messenger, who likes to pose bare chested, mud […]
Food designing and the possibilities of collaborations
You have being lucky lately, lucky enough to collaborate with one of the most interesting up n coming chefs of Sydney, and a creative Food Designer. This happened as part of a series of workshops organised by Anna Lise, of &Company. As part of an exhibition at Object Gallery, the young curator put together a […]
why weeds
How interesting is the reaction. Quite often you find yourself offending people, just by the nature of your arguments. Often times the fact that you come across as an advocate for reconsidering our hard stand on what specie should live or not upset people. ‘What you mean? what about Lantana? Are you saying that we […]
ta-daaaa
ok, here it is, Year of the Rabbit on its way, one of the hottest days you ever endured ( or at least this is what it feels like) and BANG, the first post of 2011 comes out… You could talk about so many things, so much went through without being recorded, but it kind […]
