Tony’s Homemade Hot Water Heater

by Don Child on June 24, 2010

”Auravale” is a 20 year old Intentional Community established by the former members of Cedar Bay Community, North Queensland. The local police raided the community 10 years after it’s establishment: They cut down the fruit trees and crops and the people fled. The residents of Auravale now consist of one family (Fiona, Tony and their three children) and two original residents: Mick and “rain forest John”. Here Tony describes their hot water system. They live in a very isolated spot completely off the grid. Toilets are composting, fridges are run by gas bottle and most of their food comes from the vegie garden and extensive orchard.
