In Episode 2 of Permaculture Tours, we visit Melliodora, the home of David Holmgren and Su Dennett in Victoria, Australia. David is the co-originator of the permaculture concept and this tour offers an insight into how he and Su have designed their home and gardens according to permaculture design principles.
Come and take a tour through the four zones that make up their 1-hectare property – vegetable gardens, fruit trees, geese, goats and chickens, a tiny house, and a very cool “cool cupboard” in the kitchen!

RetroSuburbia is
part manual and part manifesto. The book
shows how Australian suburbs can be transformed to become productive and
resilient in an energy descent future. It focuses on what can be done by an
individual at the household level (rather than community or government levels).
RetroSuburbia is a source of inspiration, introducing concepts and outlining
patterns and practical solutions. It empowers people to make positive changes
in their lives. As with David’s previous work, it is thought provoking and
provocative.
If you are already on the path of downshifting and
living simply, exploring RetroSuburbia will
be a confirmation and celebration that you are on the right track and guide you
on the next steps forward. If you are just beginning this journey, it provides
a guide to the diversity of options and helps work out priorities for action.
For people concerned about making ends meet in more challenging times, RetroSuburbia provides a new
lens for creatively sidestepping the obstacles.
The book
outlines options available to retrofitters in three ‘fields’ – the Built,
Biological and Behavioural – along with speculation on the future and
philosophical musings. Throughout the book, examples from David’s ‘Aussie St’
story and real life case studies support and enhance the main content. RetroSuburbia can be read as a whole, cover to cover,
or can be dipped into according to your interests.
It is self-published through Melliodora
Publishing – in itself an expression of the values and processes espoused in
the book. It is directly marketed to the public through the networks that
bypass the monopolistic online conglomerates.
RetroSuburbia is almost 600 pages in full colour with 556 photos and over 100
watercolour illustrations from permaculture illustrator Brenna Quinlan.
