I have recently read the Anastasia series published by the ringing cedars press and I have to say I am Inspired and this is one of the ways I wish to show this rejuvenated inspiration of an original dream. I am going to write here within these pages my hopes and dreams for my motherland Australia.I was born in Townsville, Australia in 1978. Sagittarius. I was Adopted at birth because my parents could not love and provide for me properly so mum decided I might have a better chance with another family. This was partially true however I always felt like something was mising and I tried to fill that emptness with every concievable distraction/delusion.
I finally worked out the main things that were missing from my life, that were critical to my survival as a soul. These were land and a place to call home and belong to within a community of love and health.
Then I read these books. You can imagine how it re-lit the fire in my belly, to have a plot of land I can call mine forever and grow my magnificent landscape gardens and permaculture paradise with all my friends..
My adoptive parents own 45ac near Woodford.Qld.4514. and this is where my dream has been growing now for the last 12 years. I built my parents a fairyland of extensive landscapled gardens and herb plots. It is very poor soil due to a monoculture of pinus radiata in a previous decade.
All the trees are stunted but still growing and are actually doing really well this year. maybe because I am home. These are my babies I blew on the seeds over 12 years ago, when I was at university at Gatton College Studying A.D.Horticulture. Plants or animals were my only choices for university and I was accepted into horticulture in 2006. The family farm however is to to be sold when mum and dad move into a retirement village. Ther
MY AIM
Anastasia has explained this grand, global, garden of Eden, it is just the same as i had dreamed as a child. Now my vision is becoming more specific. I see small communities collaborating different skills both for their communities and outside their communities.My Idealistic community consists of:-
1000+acres for 4 main family's to start and a swag of homeless, orphaned, foster kids who will take refuge, healing and education in exchange for farm chores ( 14 hours a week). All Initiated children will be offered 2 Acres for their own when they turn 18. For them to build their own homes and grow their own gardens and animals.This is provided they stick with the program. The community will be based on Permaculture design and implementation with a view to small enterprises and families.
Anywhere up to 20 children at a time. Under 18. + 8 Adults minimum.
Home schooling.
Start with 100acres as the original farm and build out as required. 4x 20 acre lots with 2 acres communal area.
5 kids per section.
Suitable eventually for approx 400 people to become completely self sufficient.
