An Intentional Urban village that is both environmentally and socially sustainable.

A village that promotes and supports a community composed of the young, the elderly and those inbetween.

Garry and Stina Kerans are the initiators of this fantastic forward thinking housing concept.

Regular evening talks/workshops at No.3 Young Street Queanbeyan will introduce the principles of an Intentional Urban Village – using Sun Village Queanbeyan as an example.

Stina is hoping you may be able to join in on one of three evenings, and bring any friends or family who may be interested.  If you are getting on in years and considering your options for the future, this will be way better than any retirement village – come and find out why!

TIME: 5 pm on 24^th,25^th and 26^th May 2011

The Aspect development (http://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-nsw-queanbeyan-107227169) is the first buildings you come to when you cross the NSW/ACT border from Fyshwick. After the H.M.A.S. HARMAN traffic lights veer left onto Norse Road (the alternative route to Queanbeyan) You then have to enter the development via Young Street – the first street on the left.

If you come at around 5pm you can have a tour of the nearly completed 2^nd stage, and the completed first stage of the development.

Please bring a plate to share.

This week was the Australia Youth Climate Coalition’s (AYCC) climate reality week. The week was focused on combating the rise of climate change denialism in Australia, and bringing public debate back on track to the true scientific consensus on our climate. AYCC visited schools throughout Canberra to discuss the issue with local students. They also organised the following wonderful aerial photos:
