Transition Town Anglesea, Victoria, Australia
There is a great deal of energy going into engaging and educating the community about the Transition Town Anglesea Energy Descent Activities. We are embracing the opportunity and challenge of Peak Oil and Climate Change with passion, commitment and optimism. We are a hands on, action oriented group, so please come to a tangible gathering and forgive the lack of energy dependent technological communication.
