Read about it in the paper......

Post: # 68965Post Wombat »

Well, with us being part of "Sustainable House Day", the Penrith Council arranged a photo shoot and interview with a couple of papers yesterday. So we had lots of photos and a fair amount of interest shown from the photogs and the newspaper lady.

The Mayor was even supposed to come but got too busy and didn't show :roll: . So over the next week or too, my ugly mug and perhaps Mrs Wombat too, will addorn an article in one or two of our local papers!

I thought this was coming around again, so checked out the NZ Sustainable house site - it seems NZ isn't having a S H day this year... boo hoo!

Good on you, though Nev, for getting involved!

Hi Nev,

That's great! There's more to be said about the subject, of course, but still. Did they also show pics of your house in the paper? And do you think there will be a follow up after sept 8?

Thanks for sharing this.
Regards, Jandra

Well done Nev!

And look at today's forecast for Sydney - high 24C, low 14C. And it's winter there........ :shock:

That's considerably warmer than here - and we are at the height of summer!

Good article, too.
