Melbourne Transition Initiatives Forum
This is a forum to bring together initiatives and individuals who are interested or engaged in transition work across the metropolitan area of Melbourne, Victoria.
What's cool in the GTIA Portfolio...
- MIMIC THIS! When you get invited to events 3000 miles away (or 20 of them just across town), use COPY & PASTE with the really interesting events to seed your own community's plans for similar events. Why start from scratch.... Beg, borrow and mimic! More....
- Welcome recently added members. Check periodically to see if friends you have invited have joined.
- Find others members in your hometown, region, state, country. (E.g., Country=Austria or City, State = Vashon, WA)
- Produce a list of members who use keywords similar to your inerests when describing theirs (E.g.,Permaculture, intentional community).
- See LATEST ACTIVITY on GTIA for results of comprehensive scans of Transition activities around the globe.
- New links to Twitter via GTIA -- Twitter via #TransitionTowns. Twitter now displayed on GTIA Latest Activity.

I would love to be at your next meeting. However, I live in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, USA. Every time I have been to AU I have stayed a while in Eltham, VIC, not so far from you. I'll be coming back maybe in a few months but this time I'll be flying into Canberra. If my cousin and I ride the train to Melbourne, maybe we can at least have coffee.
There is only one small group of people I know who are thinking about TTs. They are in a city of almost 70,000 people and are one hour west. I live in a tiny community with no political boundaries, no police, one cafe, a tiny bank and a great library. No one here seems interested.

Welcome Ben,
Great to see your interest in Transition! Welcome to TRANSITION IN ACTION.
Feel free to join in the activities. Use the COMMENT WALL to say Hello to the others. Reinforce the good things they are doing. Mention something you're interested in. Ask a question. Start a discussion. Let me know if you would like to be an Admin on this page to help build and maintain your group's Resume. Have fun!
On the local scene, does Melbourne have a Transition-supporting website, or blog, or listserv, or Facebook, or Meetup? If so, it would be spot on for all our members if you would consider including a link to Melbourne in our registry of organizations, localities, companies, products, services, Twitterers, Facebooks, Meetups, etc. supporting Transition and Sustainability. Here's the page to create the link -- http://transitioninaction.com/groups/group/new. I'll be glad to help launch and build your link. You interested?
You can see all our 356+ groups at http://transitioninaction.com/groups. Use Search on this page to find a specific group. Join as many as you like. We've recently started a newsletter to summarize significant "in action" activities. Great models for all of us! Let me know when you have questions about details.
Great photo!
Super 2011 to you!
