Tara Winkler

2012-11-03T10:30:00.001+11:00

Tara Winkler has done what alot of people only think about doing, she is a true inspiration.

Tara first traveled to Cambodia in 2005, she was volunteering as an English teacher at the landmine museum when she went to visit an orphanage in Battanbang region, her life has never been the same since. The children were living in extreme poverty and being used as a commodity. The experience made a real impact on Tara and after returning to Australia she decided that she could not just do nothing about this. She returned to Cambodia in 2007 and started a charity, Cambodian Children's Trust which protects these children and ensures a safe and secure home.
Tara is now living in Cambodia and has forged strong relationships with the local people, through her organisation the CCT, she is committed to helping Cambodia breaking the cycle of poverty and focused on a sustainable future, "Progress requires a progressive outlook. If we want developing countries to develop, we must keep developing the methods of delivering aid, being ready to adapt to current social climates, focusing on what is working and moving away from what isn’t. Projects aimed at long-term sustainable development is the best way forward for Cambodia."
Tara is not only beautiful on the outside but also on the inside and it is her inside that has changed lives. As I am about to take a holiday in Cambodia she is in my thoughts and wondering what kind of impact the country and it's people will make on me.

Protecting Australia's Ecosystems

2012-06-14T18:15:00.002+10:00

Under the Australian government's plan, an additional 44 large areas of marine reserve will be added to nation's existing network of protected zones, encompassing the nation's most important aquatic ecosystems. Once fully implemented by year's end, approximately one-third of Australia's territorial waters will be under legal protection -- totally a whopping 1.2 million square miles of ocean.
"For generations Australians have understood the need to preserve precious areas on land as national parks,'' said Minister Burke, as reported by The Daily Telegraph. "Our oceans contain unique marine life which needs protection too.''
Going forward, the broad swaths of marine reserve will be off limits to commercial fishing and oil exploration in a bid to protect the fragile aquatic ecosystems from the harmful impacts of overfishing and offshore drilling.

Future of our environment

2012-03-29T11:37:00.000+11:00

Eco Directory posted a blog stating that a US study has concluded young people today are less concerned about the environment than previous generations. The longitudinal study of college students found only 5 per cent of young US students considered themselves "committed environmentalists" with 90 per cent saying they wouldn't be seriously inconvenienced or pay a cost to protect the environment.

Commentators in this New York Times article blame the decline in environmental concern on the fact that fewer young people today have much physical contact with the "unpaved world", and on fatigue and confusion over climate change created by vocal climate sceptics.

I think that people in Australia are a bit more aware and concerned about the future of our environment but I would love to hear you comments!!

Hepburn Spring Bath House

2012-01-15T17:49:00.000+11:00

Everyone deserve a little treat once in a while!! I recently visited Hepburn Springs Bath House for a morning of indulgence with my Mum. We don't get to spend as much quality time together as we would like and this was such a nice thing to do together! If you live in Melbourne or planning a trip here in the near future I would highly recommend a visit. Hepburn Springs is about 1h 45 from Melbourne CBD, just near Daylesford, located among the forest the outlook from the Spa House is stunning and the atmosphere so tranquil that you will be floating by the time you get out. The surrounding area is worth checking out while you are there with plenty of boutique shops, a great market at the railway (on every Sunday) and organic producers in the surrounding area include Daylesford Organics.
