Patrick Jones and Meg Ulman document a year-long, 6,000km cycling journey along Australia’s east coast with their two children and dog, travelling from Daylesford to Cape York and back. Living cheaply through foraging, hunting, guerrilla camping, and bartering permaculture skills, the book demonstrates low-impact living applied to travel.

Cut your transport footprint dramatically while rebuilding the local, low-energy mobility patterns our future will demand. This RetroSuburbia chapter by David Holmgren covers active transport, shared vehicles, bicycle infrastructure, and reduced car dependency, with real examples of households already living this way.
