What's On

Festival of Permaculture - Friday 24 and Saturday 25th September


APC10_Poster

Celebrating at the Festival of Permaculture begins with inspiring speakers - leaders and educators to guide us through our current changes and challenges.

Every walk in life will find out something new from attending a practical how-to workshop, talking with a visiting business or community group at the Trade Display or attending a presentation or workshop from five session streams.

Visit the APC10 site for further details.

DON'T LOCK OUT COMMUTER RAIL FROM FUTURE USE!

Is the draft concept design, released by the Department of Transport and Main Roads on the 5th of November, really a solution to our transport and traffic problems?

Rail is ignored and placing the CTN busway to the west and not to the east of the highway, makes future integrated use of bus and rail for commuting difficult.

No mention is made in this report of the future use of the cane train corridors and the role they could play in our transport needs.

 Farmgate Market: Cairns' first local food market




The Network for Sustainable and Diversified Agriculture

invites you to Cairns' first local food market

at the Pier at the Marina .


           The market operates weekly on Saturdays from 7.30am- 2pm.


Enjoy the colours and flavors of our tropical region

Meet the local farmers, fisherman and food producers

of Far North Qld

Buy fresh and buy local!


Farmgate



Local produce is healthier and helps the environment

because it is fresher and more nutritious,

has less food kilometres,

which means less greenhouse gasses are released

and it supports the local farmers.
