		Bill Mollison was born in 1928 and spent his childhood on the beach at Stanley, on the north west coast of Tasmania.
		Bill's land is a permaculture island in a sea of traditional Tasmanian farms, a constant reminder of his long-held view of modern agriculture.

		For Mollison, the social revolution, it appears, was to be a quiet one of aggregation through attraction - of gaining supporters by demonstrating the common sense and the desirability of the Permaculture way.
		Mollison and Permaculture's early adoptors painted the system as a 'positive' philosophy, as desirably different from the 'negativism' of protest.
		Mollison explained that Permaculture was not new in its elements but was new as a synthesis of those elements - elements such as farming, building design, community economics, local economies, landuse design and all the rest that make up the design system.

		MOLLISON: The underlying philosophy of permaculture is the same as Fukuoka's: working with the land, not against it.
		MOLLISON: First of all, you take stock of all the external factors that must be worked with — such as climate, topography, soil, and water supply — and then choose plant and animal species that are highly suited to that particular set of factors.

		But then that's what you'd expect from the founder of permaculture, the radical, influential strategy for creating self-sustaining systems for agriculture and human settlement (even if the man's matter-of-fact bile is a bit of a surprise).
		Born and raised in Tasmania, Mollison lost his father (who, unlike mum, was a "good man") at 15.
		In the years that followed Mollison travelled the world spreading that vision alone (and out of his own pocket) and quietly doing extraordinary work helping those in the undeveloped world help themselves.

		Mollison calls this the "Net and Pan" method and suggests that hardier trees be planted upslope and less hardy downslope.

		Far from being just "wood", trees are complex systems that support a great variety of life and are capable of providing much greater benefit to humans than just building material and fuel.
		In Chapter 2 of Bill Mollison's book, "Permaculture", he explains that trees are of immense value to the biosphere and that we must halt the dangerous destruction of these micro-ecosystems if we want our agricultural systems, and biodiversity, to survive.
		The author begins by discussing the different biomass zones of a tree (including the crown, the detritus and humus, and the roots and root associates) and how they interact to create an organism of unimagined complexity.
