I guess the most hopeful thing for young professionals to here is ideas of how to have a better and more sustainable (and fun, fulfilling) life in a world...
All I've added a link to the Food Forest in the links section. My aim is to go there and have a look around and to do a short course in permaculture and straw...

I'd like to get some idea of where to take this group. I feel that the current format is not really helping everyone prepare for peak oil. I would like this to...
Hey I know I don't contribute much discussion to this group, but I'd be happy to set up a website. There'd need to be some sort of financial input (about...

James, I wouldn't be so hard on yourself. You've done a good job making key posts yourself and getting some interesting replies. For the size of the group, the...
hi folks, I now feel guilty for not responding earlier about what I'm doing about peak oil, so I will try to make amends here. It's fair to say that 'peak oil'...
http://www.culturechange.org/cms/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=84&Itemid=1 I don't agree with everything he says but his conclusions are fairly ...
I find it fantastic that somebody else is concerned about the whole "real estate boom". EVERYBODY i know (family, friends, work colleges, even strangers) is...
Mel I have to agree with you. We were just recently faced with a situation (where the landlord is kicking us out as his wife is moving back to Adelaide) to...
I wonder about the possibility of a group of 4 buying, say, 10 acres of semi-rural land in the Hills with 4 separate titles, and subdivide into equal portions,...

Obviously interest rates affect both home owner-occupiers and investors alike. A significant increase in interest rates will (to some extent at least) be...
This is generally aimed at a slightly younger audience perhaps, but is not entirely irrelevant... http://www.peakoilblues.com/teen-young-adult.php Quoting the...
Good point about choosing location wisely. I can hardly believe it when I see people my age (~24) buying a quarter-million dollar house and stretching...
Just in balance to this, perhaps to defend my place as a mortgagee ;) there are a number of advantages to buying a home. For a start and most importantly, you...
Hi Geoff, I think that if one approaches it cautiously (remembering that interest rates have gone up to 20% in the past), and if transport needs are taken into...
