Australian Permaculture Courses with Leading Permaculture Educators.

Crystal Waters Eco Village near Maleny / Conondale has established its reputation as a centre for Permaculture here in Queensland with its history going back over 35 years.

The PDC Permaculture Course offering at Crystal Waters includes several Presenters with decades of experience in Permaculture, Sustainable agriculture, Soils & Seeds, Organics and Design principles. The Presenters for this PDC Course include Robin Clayfield, Max Lindegger, Annaliese Hordern & a range of other great special guest presenters.

Permaculture is a design system that attempts to emulate nature in the design and experience that we have within our living environments. Encompassing a wide range of topics on ecological living, from energy efficiency to sustainable and organic agriculture, examining our relationship with water, sun, food and soil - to living in harmony with our environment.

The idea of permaculture as ‘permanent agriculture' is evolving. In recent times there has been significant recognition of the need for more sustainable living and improving our ability to live in harmony with Nature and become more sustainable in all aspects of our lives. Many people are now seeking solutions to modern "out of balance" living and these Courses and the experience here are aimed to elevate people of any age to discover and design sustainable living strategies for their own life.

Crystal Waters has developed over 35 years ago, designed along Permaculture principles. It now houses over 250 people of all ages in 83 properties, on the 640 acres of bushland at the headwaters of the Mary River. Abounding with wildlife and birdlife, Crystal Waters is a nature sanctuary worth experiencing. The Village Green is also a place for regular social interaction with events and monthly markets.

Participants will experience Permaculture first-hand through visiting several local properties and hearing from people about their practical experiences on their land.

The Ecopark camping area provides a lovely place in Nature for visitors to stay during events and Permaculture courses.
