About me
This website is a platform for all things organic and sustainable in the Illawarra.
My name is Alex, I am 20 years old, and I am student at the University of Wollongong studying Journalism and Biological science. I grew up on a certified organic farm near Tamworth, and was inspired by my fathers passion for sustainability. My family moved to the coast of Jervis Bay in 2000, where we proceeded to grow our own organic produce and live as sustainably as we could on an 8 acre block of bushland. With a newfound love for the ocean when it came time to fly the coop and move away I couldn't leave the coast, so Wollongong was the obvious choice.
Trading the open spaces of down south for the semi-busy but appropriately relaxed clutter of Wollongong was a sacrifice I was willing to make, but it cost me the fresh food of living on the farm. Finding it difficult to maintain a garden as a busy student (not to mention the landlord wouldn't allow it) I decided to write about people who do instead. I hope you enjoy what I have on here, it's all for your viewing pleasure.
Sit back, relax and fill your mind, heart and soul with glorious sustainability.
