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.

Have Your Say on Native Vegetation Management in NSW

The NSW Government is proposing changes to the Land Management (Native Vegetation) Code 2018, and now’s your chance to have input.

The Code plays a key role in supporting landholders to manage their land productively, while also balancing biodiversity conservation across private rural land in NSW. The proposed amendments aim to strengthen environmental protections and deliver on commitments made under the NSW Plan for Nature.

🗣 Community input is vital. A Discussion Paper has been released to guide your feedback, and all members of the public are invited to make a submission.

📅 Submissions close: Friday 4 July 2025
