Murrnong Camping Farm

Murrnong Camping Farm is over in Violet Town, Victoria, and it's a proper permaculture spot that offers some great learning opportunities. You can dive into permaculture design with their courses, which run over seven weekends across five months, so you get a rich learning experience in bite-sized chunks. They even do a catch-up session a year later, which is pretty neat. The courses aren't just stuck in one spot either, they take you to different demonstration sites, from suburban homes to rural properties, so you see permaculture in action across all sorts of budgets. Beyond the courses, this place is a self-reliant homestead and a diverse tree crop farm, growing organic produce. They even sell their olive oil online. If you're keen to visit, camping is an option, and they also offer learning exchanges. It’s a real working farm, not just a classroom, so you get to see how it all comes together in real life. It's a solid place to learn about sustainable living and grab some good quality, organic produce while you're at it.
