Update: there's still lots of spots left, please let me know if you'd like to bring a non-member (at full price) and I'll see if I can slot them in.
Limestone Permaculture Farm is a highly productive one-acre demonstration property, created using permaculture design processes & principles. It is on the edge of a little town called Stroud Road, a couple hours north of Sydney. If you'd like a sneak peek, their website is pretty cool.
Please note that the 18th October is a Friday.

Non-members:
The event may be opened up to non-members about week before the event, if there is space for them. Please let me know ahead of time if you have a non-member guest that you want to bring, and I’ll keep them on a waitlist. Tickets for non-members will be $80.
Accommodation:
For those people who don't want to get up at the crack of dawn to get there, there are some accommodation options in the area – see the accommodation section of the Limestone website. Stroud Showground has simple camping and very close by, so if you just want the cheapest place to lay your head, that would probably be the best option. There's also the state forest to the east of Stroud Road – there's sure to be a spot there where you can chuck a tent for free. If you want to, please let me know if you intend on camping and I can get campers in touch with each other.
Carpooling:
Drivers: Please let me know:
1. if you intend on driving and want to offer to take other people in your car
2. day, time and suburb you are departing from (and also the same details for returning)
3. where you can collect people from (eg: your house, train station, service station (etc) on your way.
4. whether you can collect people from Wahroonga 7-Eleven or BP Thornleigh (a couple of the closest servos/ collection points to the freeway)
Passengers: Please let me know:
1. if you would like a lift with a driver
2. what suburb/s or landmarks you can meet the driver at (at their address, or e.g. at a servo such as Wahroonga 7-eleven or BP Thornleigh or a train station etc)
