We built stills, machinery for distilling essential oils, and every time we travel – whenever we spoke about the place we’d just been, we’d be able to smell the place. You now, after you go bushwalking, after it’s rained, there’s a definite smell, and they’re all different. So I’ve got over 30 years of apprenticeship, and I’ve now come to this point where I want to share that knowledge and experience with other people and let those people then experience their own sense of place. So I’ve worked out different plants that grow in different areas, such as we’ve got Sense of Place Burmaguay, Sense of Place Tanger, and though we’re concentrating on the Bega Valley area first and then hopefully go broader from there.” ~ Jeff Allen, founder of Blue Moon Distillers

“The climate stability of the past 12,000 years has come to an end. And around the world, we are now suffering from the impact. At the same time, nature is declining at rates unprecedented in human history with as many as a million species facing extinction. Fortunately, we’re now better informed about the state of the world than ever before in the planet’s history. And those with knowledge and the ability to innovate can provide solutions to a great number of problems. We need solutions. We need action. And we need them now.” ~ David Attenborough, British TV presenter in an advertisement for Cambridge University
