After months of searching, I finally found the details for a local permaculture group (turns out I had the wrong name, duh).
So tonight I went to my first meeting. I had a great time and went home with lots of food for though as well as an aloe vera cutting and some cos lettuce seeds. They meet each month and membership seems to also include some other bonuses such as LETS membership.
Here is the web site if you are interested and live in the southern Sydney area:

On the weather front - it is freezing. Who would have thought the beginning of winter could be so cold. Was it like this last winter? Each summer I believe it will never again be cold and each winter I believe it will never again be hot.
On the way home tonight the car registered the outside temperature as 9oC and this morning Miss Berry's room was 13oC. I think I might make more of a note of the temperature in this blog so I can look back next year and compare the temps. It has also been pretty windy. We haven't had any rain for a week or so and the wind has really dried everything out - I must water this weekend.
Thankfully we don't get frosts in this area. Although the veggies have slowed down I can still plant throughout the winter without worrying about frost damage.

Its been very cold here too. We do get frost but fortunately we have had lots of rain, so our tanks runneth over.
That sounds great, I must see if I can find a Permaculture in the north of Sydney. It would be great to have people to swap things with, I have millions of Aloe Vera plants that I could exchange for something I don't have.
