At the southernmost tip of Western Australia lies the historic port city of Albany, established nearly 200 years ago. In the local Nyungar language the area is called Kinjarling — “place of plenty” or “place of rain” — which seems a good omen for the Living Water Anglican Church in suburban Collingwood Heights.
Andrew Nicholson started the church’s Good Life Community Garden while Barry Savage is the co-ordinator. It’s a productive half-hectare block comprising vegetable gardens and sheds, a gazebo and a pizza oven.
