The most important course I've done yet...!

The SLC End-of-Semester Extravaganza (November 15)

Spring has come, and what better time to have a barbecue going out under the nice afternoon sun, make music, and have hearty conversations with none other than the beautiful people of the Canberra Environment Centre and the ANU Sustainability Learning Community. Truly, i am yet to fully understand why I have only the fondest memories to associate with this place and these people.

(note: above paragraph not intended to sound gay.)


the SLC Organic Garden (where perhaps at least 10% of my last 3 months was spent on)


carrot, beetroot, cucumbers, marigolds, rosemaries and basils. beans and more to come!


diedrie, liz and jen finally harvesting the garden's giant cabbage into...you wouldn't have guessed it...cole slaw!


little james and kathy


bosses robin and roger


mia impressing everybody with her on-time eggshaking abilities


harris and verity, aspiring plant geneticist and bird scientist


oo, haggang dito, (pa-)bida pa rin ako. deal with it.


jenn, sam, claire, lawrence, dan


verity is by night a skateboard heroine (or at least in training).
