I would like the thread to develop with Australian input, information and personal reflections. The following site, though, is one that I have been interested in for a while and thought that it would make a good starting point. Many of the ideas presented by Melissa Norris, who has an engaging and informative style, are easily transferable to the various different environments around Australia. She lives near Seattle on the North-West coast of the USA, just South of Vancouver, Canada. I find that I have to take Melissa in short bursts, because she packs a lot of information into her presentations. She appears to be both genuine and also practical in her application of the principles by which she lives and that she conveys to others. We don't all live in the same type of environments or with the same resources, but I hope that the thread allows us to adopt and adapt ideas, that others have found useful and productive, in and for our own particular situations. We may be able to offer each other our own suggestions, or references to those offered by others, with which we have felt comfortable.

The initial reference, that I am posting, is to the YouTube video:

entitled: "13 Ingredient Swaps to Make NOW That Saved My Life"

Melissa K Norris: “Yes .…...... I always say, homesteading is a state of mind, and for people who are moving into the homesteading lifestyle and even those of us who have been in it for a while, we all do have pretty much the same goals of being able to raise our own food, to provide clean, good food for our families, to be more self-sufficient in all of the ways that we're able to. And so when we all have that common goal, we actually all come about it differently in a lot of aspects because we're in obviously different geological or geographic locations, we have different climates, there's different acreages, there's suburban, there's apartment homesteaders, there's large rural, all of that. And though we all have this common goal, we've all figured out because we're at different points in our life and all those circumstances that people will come at it at different angles.”

With Best Wishes
