Dalpura' has been under development as a Broadacre Permaculture Forestry & Silvapastoral operation since 1997. The 140 acre site in the eastern (dry!) Otways just 10km north of Angelsea/Torquay was designed by Australia Felix Permaculture's Darren Doherty & Ben Boxshall in 1996. The site has over 120 species of managed Forestry, Tree Crop & Fodder species over a total of over 50 000 trees planted, all on a Keyline Design layout with many integrated into the pastoral systems of the property. Over that time Darren has continuously been involved in the ongoing design & development of the site along with George Howson and a host of others including David Holmgren, David Griffiths, Adam Moore, Paul 'Ringo' Kean, Derek Ashby & Cam Wilson. 'Dalpura' is about to undergo another phase of development as a Farm Stay facility, adding to the enterprise mix as designed by award winning architects Third Ecology (http://www.thirdecology.com.au/) of nearby Geelong.
