Off-Grid village planned for New South Wales
As Australian power prices rise and alternative-energy technologies progress, a growing number of Ozzies are opting to disconnect.
Retired scientist and businessman Doone Wyborn and his wife Carol are two of those people. Their vision is for twenty other couples to join them.
They bought an 800-acre parcel of land in rural northern New South Wales almost 10 years ago and plan to turn it into a self-sufficient rural cooperative community.
