By applying the principles of permaculture, they managed to salvage a heavily salted environment and turn it into a green oasis.Geoff and Sindhu live and teach at their farm near The Channon, a small community not far from Lismore. Geoff boasts that despite not having a police station or church, The Channon has some of the most tolerant and friendly people in Australia.
