I hope it's of some assistance. You should give WWOOFing a go. I've now had
atleast 6 people tell me it's the best thing they've ever done, no bad comments yet. I'd love to give it a go myself, but I think I've missed my opportunity now that I've got a house & a dog.

I know WWOOFing is great, but it may be the actual one you are looking
for is the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture in Australia (or similar). These are ones who are the most recognised for certification of producers. http://www.nasaa.com.au/ I know it is a matter of great concern with the Basslink pylons going in near here that several farms which are NASAA certified for milk production will lose their status due to the chemicals comining onto the farms. My brother was a consultant to a certifictaion a few years back, in the beekeeping field "Paul Tiffany" wrote in message ...

Just curious. What are Basslink pylons and what chemicals do they produce? Regards Chu |

Been trying to find a minute to answer this - never comes...
There is a bumper sticker that says "Basslink is a Hoodwink". It is a line of large above-ground pylons to take power from Victoria's Latrobe Valley Browl Coal fired power stations at some times, and bringing it back from Tasmania at other times. Most people think "Aaaaha, Tasmania, Hydro, green". WRONG I gather it will be produced from clearfelling old growth forests. All because everyone wants to run an air conditioner in summer. Apart from that - apparently the paint and water running off them etc and other stuff on the pylons is enough to void NASA requirements for certifictaion as an organic farm. So farmers are getting plyons on their farms - whether they like it or not, as our state and federal governemnt is legislating so that a PRIVATE COMPANY has a right to walk onto farms for their own private gain.
