Gavin's First E Book

My eBook - Click On Cover To Purchase 



Gavin's philosophy is a simple one and he describes it as this;

"An Ordinary Australian Man Who Has A Green Epiphany Whilst Watching A Documentary, Gets a Hybrid Car, Plants A Large Organic Vegetable Garden, Goes Totally Solar, Lowers Consumption, Feeds Composts Bins and Worms, Harvests Rainwater, Raises Chickens, Makes Cheese and Soap, and Eats Locally. All In The Effort To Reduce Our Family's Carbon Footprint So We Can Start Making A Difference For Our Children & Future Generations To Come."


I have known Gavin for many years and his first book is true testament to his love of making the world a better place to live.

Gavin and his family have done a remarkable job transforming their lives and their home. They have helped so many of us to go even a little shade of green.

This book will inspire you to take the first steps, however small or large they be, into your own journey of sustainable living.

A good mate and true Eco superhero, Gavin also writes 2 blogs, runs a sustainable living group and holds workshops in cheese making.

I am looking fwd to his next instalment in his planned series of e books.

Well done Mate. Keep it green.

Who Killed Dave ?

I have just finished this wonderful book. I actually had trouble putting it down, especially  as I am someone is can be termed as a non reader.

Linda Cockburn is a fantastic writer and I fully recommend her books to anyone.

Go to Together Press or Living The Good Life for more info or to purchase her books.

They would make someone a great Christmas present.



Dave died in mysterious and grotesque circumstances and the murder has caught the imagination of a nation. There’s a television poll running and 46% of voters believe Robyn is guilty.

Maybe she did, maybe she didn’t, she wasn’t in any state to remember.

But hey, if you’re pointing fingers then Kaos Court is full of people crazy enough to commit the crime.
This part time masseuse, part time tarot card reader is going to need all her skills to find out who killed Dave, because it’s the only thing standing between her and Detective Mark Hood, a man she could never marry, not when your first name is Robyn. Right?

A whacky whodunit comedy that cartwheels from one chaotic moment to the next.

And who killed Dave? ... You’ll never guess!
ISBN: 9780646501321
RRP $24.95 (AUD)


Linda Cockburn is also the author of Living the Good Life - Simple Strategies for sustainable Living, also titled Living the Good Life - How One Family Changed their world from their own backyard, published in 2006 by Hardie Grant and 2007 by Snowbooks.
The book details Linda's family's attempt to live six months from a suburban block producing their own food, power, water, transport and creating zero waste.
They've been featured on Channel 7's Today, Tonight, Time Magazine, Notebook, That's Life and many others.
Linda is a regular contributor to ABC Organic Gardening Magazine.

Linda has almost clocked up enough hours in Australia to be considered true blue, but her pronounciation of 'fish n' chips' still gives away her kiwi origins.

Linda, partner Trevor and son Caleb have moved to Tasmania where they are building a strawbale home without use of concrete, PVC and chemical paints. They've surrounded themselves in goats, sheep, chooks (chickens) and bees and spend most of their time saving on gym fees working out in the garden.

Upside Down


Written in almost a lazy style, this book is a great read.
An account of Georgina Carr's trip down under, this book has it all, laughs emotions, work, travel and WWOOFing.

You can find this book by clicking on the feedback tab on the WWOOF homepage.

The feedback page itself is also an interesting read.
