| Food & Seed Swap at Slow Food Farmers’ Market | | As mentioned in the edition of White Hat Food
Newsletter focusing on 'Sustainable Food', Sustainable Gardening Australia (SGA)
is holding their first ever fruit and veg/seed swap at the Abbotsford Convent
Slow Food Farmer’s Market. If you’ve had a bountiful crop this winter and ended
up with more fruit and veg than you know what to do with, they’d love you to
come along and take part. Not only is this a great opportunity to show off your
skills, but to also chat with with like-minded individuals and to have fun. The
aim is to get members like yourself talking and discussing the successes (and
failures!) of your efforts in sustainable gardening while sharing your produce
as well as your knowledge. It’s also a great opportunity to swap some seeds as
Spring approaches. There will be SGA volunteers heading along to give you the
latest happenings on the PODs project – Productive, Organic and Diverse
gardening groups. If you have a passion for gardening, want to connect with your
community, meet like-minded people and make a genuine difference to the
environment, why not get involved? This will be a fantastic opportunity to
network and get your own POD up and running. | |

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
Qantas In Flight Magazine. |
