Dead tree full of life
Lochiel Park green village South Australia
with Narda and Terrell

We bought block 59 today even though we go back to the States in four weeks. It borders the Torrens River. Lochiel Park is one of the first totally green built developments in Australia. It will use fewer natural resources and have drain collections and filters for storm water to water the forests and flush toilets. We hope to have our new house completed by the end of 2008 and rent it until we retire here. It is in Campbelltown near Adelaide South Australia. The block we bought has a large gum tree over shadowing it which will be a good view from the balcony. As with all new developments of this type it will have fitness trails, walks, parks native grass meadows an irrigated grass oval and wetlands. Lochiel Park is an initiative of the Government of South Australia, incorporating leading edge ecological technologies (ESD) into everyday life.
We are building Charter House by Hickinbotham, Green House 01, designed by the Australian designer, Max Pritchard. See http://www.charterhouse-sa.com.au/greenhouse_elevations.htm for the greenhouse we are building.
