Canberra by Bike event

This bike party celebrates the music of British rock giants Dire Straits (1977-1995), which was led by guitarist and singer songwriter, Mark Knopfler.

Their debut album, Dire Straits was recorded at Basing Street Studios in London from 13 February to 5 March 1978, and included the hit single, Sultans of Swing. The album was released on 9 June 1978.
Dire Straits sold more than 120 million albums, including Communiqué, Brothers in Arms, and On Every Street. Their hit singles include Money for Nothing and Calling Elvis.

As always, you choose the songs for our bike parties playlists, so let me know what Dire Straits or Mark Knopfler tracks to play.

Our bike parties are slow, social rides around a set route. The idea is to promote social connections and being outside, so you turn up on your cycle/scooter/skates, and we'll take care of the rest.

You must bring your own lights, and have a plan if you get a flat tyre or other mechanical fault. Bring something warm in case it gets windy by the lake.

This route is one loop around Lake Ginninderra, approx. 7km. It's mostly flat and is on shared paths. There are inclines approaching the Lake Ginninderra bridge.

Canberra City Farm event

In this workshop we will consider the characteristics of a fertile garden soil and how you can transform your soil to produce nutritious fruit and vegetables.  You will be introduced to methods to assess:

• the soil texture and structure of your soil and how it affects plant growth,
• the chemical properties of your soil and how that affects the availability of plant nutrients,
• the microbiological properties of your soil which enhance the ability of plants to extract nutrients from the soil.

Methods to modify these soil characteristics will be discussed.

This workshop is suitable for beginner gardeners as well as those with some gardening experience.  All participants are asked to bring a sample of soil from their own garden for assessment.  A sample volume of the size of a large coffee mug should be sufficient.

As this is an outdoor practical workshop, participants should bring gardening gloves and wear sturdy, closed shoes and appropriate gardening clothes for the weather conditions.
