One hour  tours + Optional consultation

I host tours of my sustainable home and the Chippendale road gardens.

During these one-hour information sessions, I show you how to design systems for water, energy, recycled water and sewage and provide details about how to get approvals, materials and costs. You may buy my books, Sustainable House, and Sustainable Food on the tour, too, and save postage costs. If you buy the two books online you also receive a free tour of the house for you and one friend on one of the public tours offered for bookings on this site.

• Solar panels on my house (top) and, as I need more power, also on the neighbour’s adjoining house (below)

Up to 20 people can come on a public tour.

Bookings are essential - see below for how to book and pay.

Optional consultation after tour, $120 additional fee, payable before the tour *

If you’d like to discuss your own project and get design, product and costing suggestions in a one hour consultation after the tour, let me know when you book the tour. You will receive:

  • product options

  • design and ideas sketches

  • suggestions on any designs or ideas you already have

  • contacts for plumbing, installation, solar, water, recycled, food systems

Light lunch provided.



Please ask for the optional consultation when you book so I know to cater for the light lunch. I will then email you with my bank details so you may pay in advance.

  • Maximum of 4 people in this optional consultation.



For the consultation bring:

  • any plans, a survey, photos, a list of your goals
