This may be your opportunity if you
want to hear Peter speak in Vic.

Open House and Field Day at the famous Swiss House

SCHEDULE: 9.30am – 6.00pm
• Carbon assessment of travel and tree selection (on arrival)
• House and grounds open for viewing (all day)
• Collecting stories about the house. (Visitors who have stories about the house are invited to have
them recorded in the dining room over a cup of tea.
Note: Unless otherwise stated all presentations will start in the studio.

A day of discussions, demonstrations and presentations by experts in the field including special guest Peter Andrews, Natural Sequence farmer and author of “Back from the Brink”, as seen on ABC TV’s Australian Story.

Using this site as a practical example, invited experts will address issues of water such as usage and methods of saving and recuperation, like storage, irrigation for gardens, use of grey water, wetlands development and the relationship with the river.

Other issues of sustainability will also be addressed, including reductions in domestic power use. Discussions will focus on the future of this heritage house and grounds as an artwork – a poetic image of adaptability to climate change.

Cost of entry: The carbon footprint of each visitor’s journey to Avoca will be neutralised by the purchase of seedling trees to be immediately planted in the garden (maximum cost $20)
Address 16 Dundas Street, Avoca Victoria 3467.
