Newtown's hidden farm

Reporter Community News

The corner of Hospital Rd in Newtown used to be an awkwardly shaped, unloved patch of grass above a sewer line.
Now, it’s a thriving urban farm, packed with fresh produce everywhere a spot can be found.

The corner of Hospital Rd in Newtown used to be an awkwardly shaped, unloved patch of grass above a sewer line.
Now, it’s a thriving urban farm, packed with fresh produce everywhere a spot can be found.
Farm manager Rory Lenihan-Ikin says it has taken a lot of hard work and a special effort to collect compost.
For $40 a week, contributing members can collect a weekly carton of organic vegetables, and can have their food scraps collected from their door.
The compost is made on-site, carefully tended by staff and volunteers who monitor it daily to ensure it has the proper chocolate hue, the optimum amount of moisture levels, and the right amount of life.

Playing with poi is a lot of fun! Spin Poi can be done sitting or standing and is suitable for almost everyone. Inspired by traditional poi, it has been adapted to be a safe and effective exercise, especially for older populations. On top of the usual benefits of exercise, typically people will see improvements in grip strength, attention, focus, balance and coordination.

Lots of free office desks (but you need to take lots!)

Caroline from Berhampore

Hi neighbours
We are replacing our current office desks - quite a few (around 30?) They are a decent quality but configured to be used in pods or groups eg 4 desks together, 6 desks together, 12 desks together. They are available for free providing you pick them up (dismantle?) by the end of April.… View more
Hi neighbours
We are replacing our current office desks - quite a few (around 30?) They are a decent quality but configured to be used in pods or groups eg 4 desks together, 6 desks together, 12 desks together. They are available for free providing you pick them up (dismantle?) by the end of April. They must go as groups - they don't work as single desks apart from one pair that go side by side. If anyone is interested in taking blocks of them you are welcome if you take the whole lot. They have cable trays and are white. No photo yet sorry! They are all around 140cm to 160c depending on how we grouped them. Not adjustable, standard height.
