Thanks for the compliments, glad you enjoyed the photos. It's an auto-generated photo gallery created in Adobe Photoshop, but I've customised the gallery layout for my own needs as a photographer. I've used the same layout for a vast number of projects and events I've shot, I'll add a page to the website with links to some of the sustainability-related project galleries.

As for the city farm/community garden concept, there is a community garden committee that has the goal of creating one for Bundaberg - Christine Sorbello is heading up the project, and she is on this discussion list. You can contact her directly through the site via her contact page. shine_on, Dean and myself have all attended the community garden meetings and are interested in having SustainaBundy help with that project in whatever way we can. We also think there may be opportunities for several other parallel projects, depending on interest, need and volunteers. We came away from our scouting trip with a great deal of useful resources, contacts and info, not to mention a range of different community garden models worth exploring (in addition to Northey Street, we visited Yandina Permaculture Community Garden and also met with Bruce Molloy, who is starting Veggie Village in Peregian Beach. More on those later, when time permits).

While at Northey Street we met Gavin Hardy from Growing Communities, an organisation working on school gardens and community gardens in Brisbane and beyond, and linking existing projects all over Queensland so they can learn from one another (much as relocalisation groups do on our own relocalize.net). We'll continue to network with Growing Communities and see what else we can learn from them. We were also given a DVD with two presentations on it: School Gardens and Eat Your Park, about community permaculture farming at Northey Street. These short videos are also available on SustainaBundy's YouTube channel under "subscriptions". They might be worth showing at a movie night (we've developed quite a collection of inspiring videos for movie nights, I might add...)

Seeing how much support (both financial and otherwise) that Northey Street has from Brisbane City Council was inspiring. In addition, Brisbane City Council has allocated $480,000 to community gardens over the next 4 years. (See page 26, item 1.2.3.3 in this document for more info.) It'd be great to compile a presentation of successful, council supported community gardens throughout Queensland to show to Bundaberg Regional Council! The wide variety of benefits to the community in these types of spaces is undeniable.
