Down the Carrot Hole - Forum 6 Cinemas Movie Screening

-
Forum 6 Cinema, Tamworth,

At Forum 6 Cinemas, Tamworth NSW 2340
During lockdown of March 2020, award winning Master Photographer David Trood was stuck at home like most people. On a piece of land far away from any town, and even further from a city, David used his time to realise a dream that he has had since childhood. A garden full of food! A dream to be able to eat whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted… just like a gorilla. So he dug and he hammered and moved over 200 wheelbarrows full of topsoil, to create a living paradise he called The Weedy Garden. A paradise of wonderful, colourful, natural, clean organic food. David’s film, Down the Carrot Hole follows the creative and visual journey of understanding the elements of Earth, Wind, Water and Fire, and his synchronistic encounters with people along the way.

It is a gentle, heartfelt film whose importance cannot be understated. It is a documentary for our times. During the two years of Covid-19 lockdowns in Australia, David Trood discovered the wonder and joy of creating, not just a garden, but an entire food forest through Permaculture principles. With his enthusiasm and camera gear to explore, David shared the journey of food self-sufficiency through his YouTube creation The Weedy Garden to show others how they can do it also.

NAMOI SOIL SYMPOSIUM

Gunnible Landcare Inc was supported by Gunnedah Urban Landcare Group to host the Namoi Soil Symposium on 12th March at Emerald Hill Community Hall, northwest of Gunnedah.

The event was initiated by local farmers, wanting a repeat visit from Joel Williams, an Australian soil scientist, now internationally acclaimed educator.  Joels sessions were backed by local soil scientist Dr Rober Banks, and local croppers Scott McCalman and Amy Perfrement.  The Emerald Hill CWA provided bounteous morning and afternoon teas, and the Verdict Café in Gunnedah used lamb from The Conscious Farmer at Caroona to create delicious boxed lunches.

TRLA staff teamed up on the day to assist Nicky Chirlian, Liverpool Plains and Gunnedah Coordinator, with Kate Spry providing comms, and Susan Wilson providing technical support.  Ninna Douglas manned the TRLA Nursery stand.  Wayne Chaffey, as TRLA Chair and NSW Landcare Board Member, did an outstanding job as MC for the day.

The fully booked event was a great success, with feedback such as “the best Landcare event I have ever attended”, a testament to intense planning and input from the Gunnible Landcare Committee working with the Local Landcare Coordinator.
