Down the Carrot Hole - Forum 6 Cinemas Movie Screening
-
Forum 6 Cinema, Tamworth,
At Forum 6 Cinemas, Tamworth NSW 2340
During lockdown of March 2020, award winning Master Photographer David Trood was stuck at home like most people. On a piece of land far
away from any town, and even further from a city, David used his time to realise a dream that he has had since childhood. A garden full of
food! A dream to be able to eat whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted… just like a gorilla. So he dug and he hammered and moved over 200
wheelbarrows full of topsoil, to create a living paradise he called The Weedy Garden. A paradise of wonderful, colourful, natural, clean
organic food. David’s film, Down the Carrot Hole follows the creative and visual journey of understanding the elements of Earth, Wind,
Water and Fire, and his synchronistic encounters with people along the way.
It is a gentle, heartfelt film whose importance cannot be understated. It is a documentary for our times. During the two years of Covid-19
lockdowns in Australia, David Trood discovered the wonder and joy of creating, not just a garden, but an entire food forest through
Permaculture principles. With his enthusiasm and camera gear to explore, David shared the journey of food self-sufficiency through his
YouTube creation The Weedy Garden to show others how they can do it also.

The Code plays a key role in supporting landholders to manage their land productively, while also balancing biodiversity conservation across
private rural land in NSW. The proposed amendments aim to strengthen environmental protections and deliver on commitments
made under the NSW Plan for Nature.
🗣 Community input is vital. A Discussion Paper has been released to guide your feedback, and all members of the public are

Students Engage with Country, Culture and Community through Bush to Bowl
A memorable day unfolded at Duri Hall last Thursday during the ‘Bush to Bowl’ event, proudly hosted by Tamworth Regional Landcare
Association and supported by the Tamworth Aboriginal Lands Council and the Warrumbungle Environmental Education Centre.
The Campfire Gathering at Boonalla Aboriginal Area on Gamilaroi Country was a truly meaningful day of connection, learning,
and reflection. Coordinators from across the northwest came together in a culturally safe and welcoming space to build relationships, share
stories, and strengthen partnerships with the Aboriginal community.
The day began with a moving Acknowledgement of Country, followed by powerful storytelling that invited everyone to reflect on their own
connection to place. Through open and respectful conversations, we explored our experiences in Landcare and the importance of Aboriginal
partnerships in our shared work caring for Country.
Lunch provided the perfect opportunity to relax, share a yarn, and deepen our connections. In the afternoon, Landcare staff engaged in a
robust and honest discussion about what Aboriginal partnerships mean in practice, before ending the day with a quiet reflection and personal
commitment to Country.
Erosion control with rock bags
North West Local Land Services Extension officer Craig Pullman invited Landcare Coordinators to view the application of erosion control
Rockbags at a property west of Barraba on 29th May 2025.
These flexible geotextile bags filled with rocks, are increasingly used for creek erosion control. They are environmentally friendly,
being made from non-toxic, recycled plastic, and are permeable to water and suitable for fish and wildlife habitats.
The site was a narrow creek bed with a high eroded bank requiring stabilisation.
Our members often say that when you become part of Landcare, you’re not just joining a group, you’re becoming part of a family. The concept
is so compatible with Australian culture it’s hard not to get involved! By becoming a TRLA member, you’ll be supporting our work, learning
new skills, becoming part of the solution, and helping to make a difference for the future.
Did you know (TRLA) run an Annual Small Grants program for Landcare activities connected to the Tamworth region.
Volunteer Landcare and Grassroots Community groups can apply up to $2,500 for activities that meet an objective of TRLA’s strategic plan
with eight successful projects being awarded funds from across the region.

that respect to all Aboriginal people.
