Michael Mackenzie, from ABC Rural Radio’s ‘Bush Telegraph‘ segment, recently spoke with Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton about Permaculture. You can listen to the clip in its entirety here (16 min, 7.5mb MP3). To download the file, simply right-click on the link and choose ‘Save Link As’ (Firefox) or ‘Save Target As’ (Internet Explorer).
When asked if he thought Permaculture would go very far when he was first starting to lay the foundations in the 1970s, Bill’s reponse was the only answer that can realistically be given: "Yes". As he went on to say, the world is heading into trouble, and there really isn’t another viable escape route. Sooner or later Permaculture must become the all-absorbing theme for humanity, or else….
The sooner world leaders begin to realise this, and the sooner the world’s citizenry demand it, the less painful the transition.

Cross the Line - an Interview with Sustainable World Radio
Podcasts, Society — by Craig Mackintosh

and overflow system at Quail Springs
When we were at Quail Springs recently, Sustainable World Radio came up to see us and to talk to Geoff and Nadia about their Permaculture work. You can listen to the clip in its entirety here. Geoff and Nadia talk about how and why they first got interested in Permaculture, and share inspiring thoughts on why we should "step over the line" from our never-complete, disatisfied lives, where we want to live a better, more fulfilling life, but we keep stepping back to the uncomfortable ‘comfort zone’ we know. As Geoff says, this psychological conflict has us "dying every day", as we keep living lives we don’t want to live - too scared to cross over and embark on what would actually turn out to be a very enjoyable path to personal fulfillment.
Thanks to Geoff, Nadia and Sustainable World Radio for a very inspiring talk!
