Crocodile’s and Dendritic Immersions

Queensland University of Technology has been presented with an exciting student project in the Gulf of Carpentatria.

The Project called “Linking Karumba: Creating Sustainable Connections” involves a multi- disciplinary group of 16 senior students, Q.U.T Teaching staff and the residents of Karumba.

This September for 10 days, the group will immerse themselves in the nature and culture of Karumba and create planning options that link the two separate parts of the township.

Karumba is located at the mouth of the Norman River in the Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland.

The attached image shows the landscape that surrounds the township.

Stay tuned…………………!

Role of the landscape architect in Urban agriculture

A recent call to landscape architects to give input to a journal about urban agriculture heightened the opportunity and responsibility we have to help feed a future low consumerism, highly urban world. Is there any one out there interested to being part of this.

I have a touch of permaculture in my veins and am keen to see the Victorian State Government’s program of “Food for all” be successful.
