Field Study

-The weekend was a nice break, but a hot one. A bunch of us drove to a nearby waterhole and went for a swim to cool off.
-We have been learning about farm animals and native "bush" foods this past week. As one of our hands on lessons, we moved the geese pen to a different part of the garden. Despite having to occasionally run from the charging male goose (Bruno), everything went to plan.
-On Tuesday, we were able to visit the neighboring ecovillage designed by our teacher, Jarlanbah. The properties are sold individually and residents contract their houses with local passive solar architects (or build it themselves). There is a strong commitment to keeping a beautiful, clean and green neighborhood. Everybody has gardens, most people have chickens and many have solar power.
