Next week the carbon neutral ecology workshop hits the big-time… I will be presenting as part of th Children’s Festival at Woodford Folk Festival in South Eastern Queensland. The Festival combines a heady blend of the best of Australian and international “folk” music (in the broadest sense, as in, “music of the people”) with a deep philosophy of social and environmental ethics. The result is one big utopian party-village that springs up each year amongst the trees, reverberates to the sound of music and laughter for a week, and then disappears (until the dreaming and planting festivals, and now splendour in the grass…) The Children’s festival looks set to be a fantastic space to join in the fun. The pencils are sharpened, the binoculars packed, the colouring in is photocopied, and the slides are coming together… now all we need is a break in the rain and we might even see a bird or two…
