Free Bike Fix

Most Sundays, you can get your bike fixed for free in the Carlton Gardens, at the Canning Street gate. Oh how we love it. Let’s count the ways: 1 It’s run by volunteers 2 It helps people out 3 It means there are more bikes on the road 4 It takes place in the magnificent Carlton Gardens 5 It’s free 6 You get to chat while you wait 7 You can learn how to fix a ghetto blaster to your pack rack, so you too shall have music wherever you go.

Slow guides

The Slow Guides are for anybody who wants to slow down and live it up, seachange without shifting postcode. They celebrate all that’s local, natural, traditional, sensory and most of all gratifying about living in Sydney and Melbourne. Click on a book for a preview.

How to buy a book

Start off slow and get your book the old-fashioned way; pop into a store and say g’day. But if you’re too entranced with what’s happening in your garden, or too preoccupied gazing on a cloud, you could always order one online.
