Workshop #6: Retrofitting your home & landscape to be better protected from bushfires

Topics covered:

• How does fire travel and behave?
• What are the common 'weak points' for your home or garden/landscape surrounds?
• How can you retro-fit your home to be better protected from bushfires?
• How can you design and manage your surrounding landscape to be better protected from
  bushfires?

This will be an interactive workshop with discussions about all manner of ways you can increase sustainability in your home.
