Melbourne Climate Futures. An initiative from Melbourne University to empower the next generation of climate activists.

‘This project represents an important step toward improving the ecological health of the entire property. Sincere thanks go to all those who contributed plants, time and support helping turn a simple farm dam into a flourishing pocket of biodiversity’. Northern Bendigo Landcare.

David Cook-Doulton and Martin Shew always thought regional towns of Ballarat and Bendigo had a world-class feel. They could see it in the wide streets, the grand buildings and beautiful botanical gardens. And so two world-class hotels were created – Hotel Vera (Ballarat) and Hotel Ernest (Bendigo). Both hotels link luxury with environmental awareness as part of ‘true luxury, founded upon environmental integrity’.
