Hiya All,

Just forwarding a chunk of our latest course newsletter around the  
traps as it contains items that might be of interest - i.e. the  
Keyline course with Darren Doherty, which is running straight after  
APC9 in March... and a 3-day Earthworks course with Geoff Lawton AND  
Darren Doherty in April...

Upcoming courses with Milkwood Permaculture:

--March--
Keyline Design Course: Mudgee: 27-29/3/08

A rare opportunity to learn practical, hands-on Keyline Design with  
Darren Doherty, the world's most respected accredited Keyline  
educator... The Keyline System of farming has been one of the pillars  
of Sustainable farming and hydrology since the mid 1900's - a much  
acclaimed technique that is rarely offered as a specific course,  
despite its Australian origin!
