The Permaculture Research Institute of Australia

Hi all,

My first contact with PC was in 1986. I was student, with 20 years old, without money, without internet, without PC books ...a disaster! But with a lot of patience. In 1990 took my first introduction's course with Emilia Hazelip. In 1994 my first PDC with Richard Wade. After that, a long, long time only breeded with "Permaculture Magazine", my own dreams and some courses of fruit trees, horticulture, etc in farming schools. And very busy caring of my people: my wife, two daughters and myself.

In 2005 reborned again as permaculturer with Darren Doherty's help. In 2007 took a course of "Keyline Design", in 2009 a course of "Water management" and finally my second PDC in Deia, Mallorca, the three courses with Darren. In the meanwhile, from 2005, my wife and I searched strongly a place for our site and finally we got it in 2008. Since then I has been working and improving this site. In the way I'm learning practical skills, now is my main objective.

I'm engineer with experience in phone networks and a few knowledge in renewable energies, so I hope this could help me to develop skills of appropiate technology related with PC. It's other one of my objectives. In the mid-time I hope could help and advice people with three skills: Design in PC, execution of PC projects, and Appropiate Technology. Our site will be a show center and could be possible to celebrate workshops.

All my progress is described in the website:
