I'm Looking for Permaculture Videos / DVD's by or about Bill Mollison.

I had some really good & inspiring ones on video many years ago
(Visionaries - Bill Mollison + another 4 or 5 part series) but they
were lost while moving unfortunately.

It was incredible how even semi desert areas were transformed into
lush food-forests using few inputs, so imagine what could be done in
Australia using these amazing & proven techniques.

Bill Mollison really puts the Gardening Australia permaculture
'attempts' to shame.

If anyone knows where to get them, please respond.

Thank you very much.

Gardening Australia seems to deal mostly wih the urban block, whereas
Bill was dealing with rural land.

I also find GA a bit more ecologically responsible. BM didn't seem to
consider ecological impact when some of his recommendations; e.g.
pampass grass, blackberries, etc. Yes, the information was known in his
time.

Er, Bill Mollison and David Holmgren ARE Australian! And there are quite a
few permaculturists around.

There are a lot of permies around and I thought whatsisname did a reasonable
job. He's just starting a new project, I believe.
