A community forest project associated with David Holmgren and the Melliodora property in Hepburn Springs, Victoria. Spring Creek represents an applied example of community-scale land stewardship and woodland management informed by permaculture principles, demonstrating collaborative approaches to local forest care and community land tenure.

An eco-village project in central Victoria associated with David Holmgren. Fryers Forest is an intentional community demonstrating shared land ownership, ecological building, and cooperative living in a rural context — a practical example of the community-scale permaculture design and alternative tenure models discussed in RetroSuburbia.

Agroforestry pioneer Rowan Reid documents thirty years of integrating trees into farming systems on his Bambra Agroforestry Farm in Victoria. Organised around fifteen timber species, the book explores how landholders can profit from timber while achieving conservation, shelter, and soil health goals.

Albert Bates and Kathleen Draper examine biochar and biomass systems as tools for carbon sequestration and climate stabilisation that go beyond conventional renewable energy narratives. A grounded contribution to regenerative agriculture and climate solutions.

Charles Massy’s landmark work on regenerative agriculture traces his own transformation from chemical-dependent farmer to ecological steward of a 2000-hectare property. Through his story and those of farmers across Australia, Massy explores how grassroots regenerative practice is rebuilding soil, restoring landscape function, and offering a credible alternative to industrial food systems.

A revegetation manual applying permaculture design principles to the restoration of farm landscapes through tree and shrub planting. Widely used in permaculture design courses as one of the few texts dealing seriously with zones 3–5 and broadacre revegetation.

Tao Orion offers a holistic, permaculture-inspired alternative to conventional invasive species management.  Orion proposes working with ecological processes rather than against them, making this essential reading for land managers and regenerative farmers.
