Moonambel has interested me for some time and having found this cooler vineyard with a south easterly aspect, I started working with the grower to achieve vineyard management and direction to support the style of fruit that we are now seeing in bottle. This vineyard provides fruit that is deep, savoury and sweet as well as finely structured syrah 2006 syrah Vineyard Grapes are sourced from the Moonambel district of the Pyrenees.

  • A Tale of Steady Progress Towards a Sustainable Learning Community Leone Wheeler Diane Tabbagh
    Australian Journal of Adult Learning Volume 60, Number 3, November 2020 Wyndham City: A tale of steady progress towards a sustainable learning community Leone Wheeler Diane Tabbagh The purpose of this paper is to explore the development of a learning community/city approach within Wyndham City, Victoria, Australia. The journey commences with a discussion of the demographic and economic context in which Wyndham has established its Learning Community Strategies. The development of Wyndham’s Learning Community is placed in the context of a history of other learning community/city approaches within greater Melbourne, Australia and internationally. This history includes learning community and learning city frameworks such as the Australian Learning Community Framework and UNESCO’s Key Features of Learning Cities, which have influenced Wyndham’s Learning Community Strategies. Further, an in-depth examination of the journey of Wyndham City Council in developing successive Learning Community Strategies identifies critical incidents that have led to steady progress towards a sustainable learning community. Also, the development and evaluation of the Wyndham Learning Community are examined, including some vignettes of successful case studies. In conclusion, the implications for adult education and theory, including avoiding the use of the label ‘learning city’ as a marketing tool rather than a ‘social process of participation and negotiation’ is examined with pointers given for further research. Wyndham City: A tale of steady progress towards a sustainable learning community 409 Keywords: learning city, learning community, learning partnerships, lifelong learning, community development, Wyndham City Council. Introduction Stakeholders credited the Wyndham Learning Community Strategy 2014-2017 as key to building the foundations for strong partnerships and collaborations on which to promote lifelong and life-wide learning across Wyndham’s increasingly diverse community (O’Connor, Wong, Scrase, 2018).

We remove and spray weeds, cut grass and plant native trees and shrubs. What we have done Why We plant native trees and shrubs along waterways to provide habitat for birds and animals. Revegetating waterways and replacing weeds 4 km Revegetation with native plants prevents erosion and improves water quality. Introduced and noxious weeds can choke waterways and take over 60 km Weed control from plants that provide healthy habitats for birds and animals. Silt and sediment is removed for drainage and flood protection and to prevent pollution building up in our waterways. Excess silt 3 Sediment/ and sediment in waterways and wetlands can impact habitat for 803 m silt removal native plants and animals.
