Crystal Waters, an inspiration from Australia

Crystal Waters is the pioneer project of large-scale permaculture in the world. In 2018, the community celebrated its 30th anniversary of recognition by the Australian government.

Pure water, healthy air, fertile soil, lush nature …

The 200 members have managed to create in 30 years a real island of almost self-sufficient prosperity of more than 200 hectares, while collaborating with their bio-region in Australia.

In 1996, Crystal Waters won the United Nations Program for Human Settlements award


A documentary now available

This feature film celebrates the past, present and future of the Crystal Waters permaculture ecovillage.

Such a short presentation is of course only a snapshot behind the scenes of Crystal Waters and cannot fully paint the many complexities of the life of a constantly evolving and constantly growing community ….

But it gives a glimpse of the intimate reality of some of the members.
