Contact details are at the bottom of the email below. Carolyn *Wall-raising working bee in Central Tilba, South Coast of NSW, ? 4 days - from Thursday the 12th to Sunday the 15th of November 2009.* *Dear friends of strawbale construction,* We have finalised details for a 4 day wall raising working bee in Central Tilba, south coast of NSW, approx. 15 kilometres south of Narooma; facilitated by Frank Thomas from *Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow, Strawbale Construction. * *Please join us from the 12th to 15th of November 2009. Times: **08:00am to 05:00pm*** *The project: A split level 2 bedroom home with large recording music studio, double garage and fire bunker. The complete lower level measures approx. 220 square metres of which 165 sqm are the first story of the house with external strawbale walls, the second level of the house measures approx. 70 square metres (not strawbale). * It is an infill structure on a slab. Strawbales will be laid on edge to allow for maximum floor-space. The strawbale walls will be rendered with clay and lime plasters. Foundation, frame, roof & bottom plate system will be installed prior to the working bee, ready to get into stacking of bales. The house was designed paying attention to passive solar principles and sustainability. It will feature a solar and wood boosted hot water system and fully remote solar power. A worm composting waste management system will handle sewerage, waste and grey water, see www.wormfarm.com.au/ for more info. ** *Image shows design of house.* ** *The working bee:* This working bee is free of charge for participants, morning & afternoon tea and light lunches will be provided. In exchange for your labour you will be able to gain hands-on experience raising strawbale (SB) walls, making custom sized bales, install frames for openings, installing top plate and pre-compressing and stitching SB walls. Basic skills in mixing and applying first coat of clay render can possibly be learned. *A special note: The site for this project is surrounded by secluded spotted gum forest , rainforest gullies and a creek; just outside the beautiful heritage villages of **Central Tilba** and Tilba Tilba. The villages are protected by National Trust for their unique historical nature. They are nestled beneath the majestic Gulaga (**Mt.** **Dromedary**) mountain which forms part of **Gulaga** **National Park**, just stunning!! Please see http://www.tilba.com.au/ for more info on the Tilba region.* Camping with basic toilet and shower facilities is possible. Bring your own tent, bedding, torch etc. and bring your own breakfast and dinner. Alternatively the hosts will also provide you with information on local accommodation options when you register for the working bee. What to bring: Please bring closed work shoes, gloves, long sleeve shirts, long trousers, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, a water bottle and a jumper for possible cool nights. Please register with the owners of the project: Richard & Kim, preferably via e-mail rawspirit at idx.com.au or 02-44737952 - 03-51559471. They will confirm your booking, advise of directions to site, advise of local accommodation options and any other necessary details at that stage. Please book as soon as possible as places are limited. We look forward to see you in Central Tilba for this exciting event.

Some locally grown seed is now becoming available and it is expected that this supply will increase over time. Last week a good supply of scarlet runner beans and custard apple seeds were donated. The grower swears custard apple is one of the best things she has growing in her garden. We are now in a financial position to supplement existing stock by purchasing select seed in bulk from established suppliers. We are awaiting supply of Cherokee wax bush bean seed. A local grower recommends these yellow beans as superior in flavour. Worth a try eh? These seeds should be available at next Saturday's market. Don't forget to share unused seed around. If you have seed to spare you can leave it at the seed saver table at the Tilba Saturday market.
