Last Monday 17th of May 2021, Kit Shepherd received the Waverley Local Hero Award in the Second Nature Category! Her dedication to Transition Bondi is nicely described in her kind words, which we would like to share with the broader Transition Bondi’s community: “This moment of ‘limelight’ on me is very much about acknowledging the…
First of all thank you to our regular veg scrap donors for your patience during covid-19 and the temporary closure of the compost bins. As restrictions are easing, we are opening the Community Composting System again. It’s wonderful that so many people are involved in this system and dedicated to converting their scraps into soil instead of…

The two films were about regenerative agriculture and, after watching them and going down a few other rabbit holes,…
It’s been such an exciting time to take our events online! Making the most of connecting with individuals and communities who live outside the local Bondi area… and that was most certainly the case at our most recent event Film & (home)Feast: Regenerative Agriculture.

“Go to your room at once….” Don’t metaphors make things clear! I loved this story about how a friend sees the current COVOD-19 situation, suggesting a way that we might reflect on it. She said: “It’s as if Mother Earth is giving us a slap on the wrist, telling us to go to our rooms…
To all our Community Gardeners and Composters, as Covid-19 ensues, we have made the decision to close the garden. The garden is part of a land share arrangement and we need to consider our own health and that of the residents that live there. We all have a responsibility to help minimise the risk of…

What better way to spend the ‘quiet’ end of the year – especially this year of terrifying destructive bush fires in areas outside the cities – than tending lane way gardens. For more than three years I’ve been enjoying looking after several local lane way plots, and recently have harvested five giant sweet potatoes (each…
