also search for community gardens in whyalla via the web

there was at least 1 when I was there in 2003; there was also one at the
nearby and now-closed Baxter detention centre

  Hi Tamara,

  Do you know of the WERIC?

  Upon a recent working trip to Whyalla I discovered the WERIC. (Whyalla
Eco-Renovation Information Centre.)

  This place is quite an amazing little hub of activity.  They have a market
occasionally, a community garden, information and displays of energy
efficient renovations and rainwater harvesting system.  They've even got
huge bunches of bananas on some healthy looking banana
palms/herbs/pseudostems!

  The ladies that run the joint were lovely as well!

  Perhaps they would know of more permies in the area and/or would be
interested in a screening of the DVD....

  cheers
