Outback Odyssey: discover the magic of the Flinders Ranges by bike! Adelaide to Blinman 11- 25 May 2013 14 days of off-road touring, covering 900+ km (mini's available) Level: Moderate (it's not a technical route, but it is about fitness) This epic ride will take you through the Australian Outback, one of the most spectacular places on earth. With 600 million years of secrets waiting to be revealed, it's home to one of the greatest adventures of your life. It's not as much a challenge as it is a life-changing experience! Each day is an adventure. We ride. We eat. We drink. We have a laugh. Then we get up in the morning and do it all over again. Some days are hard, but the campsite is your home away from home - hot showers, massage and the Handle Bar, where you can put your feet up and enjoy a coldie and good company. Then the sun dips. The stars come out... and the Mawson Man comes out to play! Numbers strictly limited to 200 seats. Questions? Ask us! http://www.bikesa.asn.au/outbackodyssey

Adelaide Sustainable Building Network (ASBN) Spotlight: Place, Permanence and Superadobe Wednesday, May 29 at 6:30pm Australian Institute of Architecture, 100 Flinders St, Adelaide WHY ARE WE LIVING IN BOXES? Presenter Jeremy Millington is the designer and builder of the first council approved, structurally and environmentally certified Superadobe (Flexible form rammed earth) structure in Australia! As a UniSA graduate of Architecture and alumnus of CalEarth (Californian Institute of Earth, Art and Architecture, Jeremy is a wealth of knowledge on the theory and practice behind this methodology of earth building. This Spotlight will be a discussion of the nature of building for Permanence and what it means to look at space through the eyes of collectives enabled to build for themselves, as well as their great-grandchildren. Why are we living in prescribed spaces with more rooms than places? What does our social condition deem acceptable for our interpretation of space, and how can we become further empowered to live in a space that will remain our legacy, rather than our debt? The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session with Jeremy and all are welcome to stay on after to continue any conversations and networking. http://guestlistapp.com/events/160617
