Hello and welcome to the Slow Home Podcast. This is the podcast we talk about slow living, what that

actually looks like in a fast-paced world. My name is Brooke McCallory. Thank you very much for

joining us. My name is Ben McCallory and welcome to episode 185. In today's episode, I just took your line.

Only sort of 40 minutes or so from our place in Katoomba.

Is that the scene? Well, okay. It was a really cold morning. It was a delightfully cold

winter's morning. The kids were on school holidays. We all bundled

posted an Instagram photo a few weeks back when I was up there. But it's this incredible space

where essentially they take donations of all kinds of tools, lots of power tools and hand tools and

artists tools and things like that, but also camping equipment and party gear and, you know,

ladders and lighting rigs and all that kind of stuff.

And they've pulled those resources and made them available to members.

see more and more over the coming years.

Interestingly, I wrote about this idea on my blog way back in the day when it was like the lavender

experiment.
