[permaculture-oceania] do you know these guys?

[Ian Lillington]

My curiosity was raised when in the US magazine, Permaculture Activist, I
found a partnership calling itself the Permaculture Institute of Australia,
(PIA) offering PDC's in only "seven very full days" - see
http://www.centerforsustainablecommunity.org/Events/Permaculture/2006DesignC
ourse.html
I think the 'PIA' idea is that their course is recognised by the Institute
in Australia - I think they mean the Mollison institute.  I haven't found a
"PIA" anywhere else; perhaps we should have one here too?

Perhaps an aussie tag sells well in the US permaculture market.  Pity their
history is not quite accurate.  They say:  "the first Permaculture Design
Course was offered in 1972"
(Wasn't it 1979?)
