The PDC will be held in Ararat at our new Urban Demonstration site, our new family home, and we are in the very early stages of site development, you will be able to follow us as we put in the mainframe of our design, including water harvesting earthworks, food forest, chicken system, main crop and kitchen garden, as well as various building modifications.
And we will feature a one day field trip to the Farm site in Beaufort for the Earthworks and Aquaculture unit .

The Mudlark Beaufort farm demonstration site is in its second year of development with a backbone of water harvesting earthworks, initial food forest plantings, cell grazing, plantation and regenerated timber management.
Ararat is on the Western Highway (M8) west of Ballarat in Western Victoria.
Public transportation to Ararat from Melbourne: 3 trains per day from Southern Cross station via Ballarat also intermittent buses.

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI TeacherWith the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows. |
