Uncle Eric passed away in 2007 at the age of 95 years.At the heart of so many of the problems we face as a society, as a culture, and on this beautiful planet we call home, lies a great disconnection.

Uncle Eric was quite familiar with permaculture concepts and the role that permaculture can play in regenerating not only the land, but reclaiming our place in creation as an integral part of our environment, respecting all aspects of nature and re-building beneficial relationships with all species, elements and the Land.During the Australiasian Permaculture Convergence APC-7, October 1997, Uncle Eric and his wife Aunty Una visited Djanbung Gardens, accompanied by 10 other Elders from all parts of the Bundjalung Nation, to conduct the official Welcome to Country ceremony. I undertake this responsibility in deep respect for the ancient legacy of caring for country by past generations of the Wyabul people of the Bundjalung nation.The Djanbung Story is about how the platypus, the most ancient and wise of all beings, in a time of great strife restored harmony by reminding all the animals of their true names, Djoolbeel (totems) and rightful relationships with each other and the Land.

Our mission at Djanbung Gardens is to support and mentor each other on the journey back to the reconnection with ourselves, each other, with all beings and the Land — the nature to which we belong and that sustains us.
