About Bill’s island Experience

This is a rare event. Bill, retired from a heavy teaching and traveling routine sometime ago, but as the years go by he finds time to travel and teach subjects he is passionate about.

Having been born and reared on the island of Tasmania, Islands hold a special place in Bill’s heart and fascination. The first voyages of Bill’s Permaculture travels and teaching took place on the islands of Hawaii where Bill taught Permaculture and installed systems. One forest is in plain view from the window of plane as you fly into Honolulu. Elder Hawaiian’s reported they had not seen such taro as the taro yielded from the Permaculture Taro dryland Padis.

Work on the Canaries, due to their incredibly low annual rainfall took a quite a different approach, but calling on Permaculture skills and strategies the results were just as satisfactory and perhaps even more so, considering the challenge of the location.

In the Sechelles, engaged by His majesty, Sh’ Aran Pahlevi, Bill’s Permaculture skills were applied to the re-design and on-going management of a large coconut plantation in the Amarantes.

Many courses were taught by Bill in Palau where the need of the people centered around rehabilitation of shoreline and tidal padis.

And while Bill’s travel and Permaculture work has found him giving courses, designing or installing food production and energy systems on the Islands of Newfoundland, Iceland, Whiddy Island. Orcas Island, Flinders Island to name a few, this course will have a heavy emphasis on Permaculture Design for tropical and sub-tropical islands.

Celebrating 30 years of achievement www.apc9.org.au The good folks at Permaculture North, in the Sydney area, have taken the reins of hosting this milestone in the history of Permaculture. Thirty years ago, Bill Mollison founded The Permaculture Institute and with its foundation began an unstoppable roll on of teachers training teachers who again train more teachers and it is thus that the world is changing, location by location. We all know, knowledge is power and giving the gift of knowledge empowers us all. If you are interested in Permaculture, come on down to this event. You’ll be amazed, inspired, you’ll laugh and you’ll, very importantly, think.
“Ingenio Patent Campus” The Field Lies Open to the Intellect, motto of The Permaculture Institute and The Permaculture Academy.
