Environmental & Sustainability Events in Melbourne

Sustainable Water Use
|
 As well as a spectacular collection of salvias, perennials and natives in
their substantial garden, Pat and John Anderson also have a large and very
productive vegetable patch. They have devised a sustainable water supply of
collected rainwater, linked tanks and a gravity-fed system of drippers. While
most of the plants in the flower garden are drought-tolerant, this excellent and
achievable watering system ensures the garden's all-round success. See further
information at The White Hat
Guide to Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD)
John is a scientist and he will give talks and demonstrations on how he and
Pat collect, measure, store and use their water. Notes outlining their water
practices will also be available.
This event is part of the wonderful
Australian
Open Gardens Scheme. |

TOURISM NEWS
Qantas In Flight Magazine chooses
White Hat
Cemetery Tour as its featured Australian tour for May
There are many fine historical tours
throughout Australia including cemetery tours. From these, the
prestigious Qantas In Flight Magazine has chosen the White Hat Tour
of Melbourne Cemetery as its featured Australian tour for the May
2007 edition. This tour was also featured by ABC radio on 24 May and
will feature in a documentary series on Burke and Wills to be shown
on European television in 2008. The tour has been operating for many years and has won
praise from a wide range of sources. This is not a dry and stuffy
tour but in keeping with all White Hat offerings it is Informed,
Intelligent, Independent (and occasionally) Irreverent. You can find
details of the tour at White
Hat Tour of Melbourne Cemetery and view the article at
