What I did for sustainable life this week?

• Changes in the way of buying ingredients, from imported supermarkets, Coles to Victoria Markets

• Changes in the choice of ingredients, less meat, more seasonal vegetables and fruits.

• Less shopping time, more outdoor activities. Resist impulse spending and try to get some necessities in the second-hand market

• Reduce bathing and lighting time, try to share energy in common spaces, such as studying at the Uni of Melb, sharing food with roommates, and cooking food more efficient.

• Change the travel way, walk as much as possible for short distances, and choose public transportation for longer destinations.

- 30mins Natural gas (less pollution 45 percent less carbon dioxide than coal, 30 percent less than oil and 15 percent less than wood.)

- About 8L Water (May think Nature Resource collection, Filtering , circulation)

• Tool

Cut the ingredients into small pieces to increase the heating area and make the ingredients easier to cook.

Stir-frying relies on direct convection heating, which is more efficient

Cooking with heat preservation, using a multi-layer structure cover of insulating material, reducing the heating time

Eg Oven Potatoes vs Fried Shredded Potatoes

It takes a total of 50 minutes to cook potatoes in the oven, while sautéing shredded potatoes takes 5 minutes . Oven roasting potatoes consumes about 1000 kilowatts ,

Traditionally, they lived a hunter/gatherer existence. The various clan groups migrated through their territory dependent upon the seasonal variations of weather and the availability of food. The men would hunt large animals for food and women and children would collect fruit, plants and berries. They only used the land for things that they needed - shelter, water, food, weapons. They never overused it or damaged it.

Timber-getting became important because of the building expansion that began in Melbourne and other settled areas during the 1870s and, later, in the boom of the 1880s. The arrival of the railways enabled transportation of the timber to the metropolis. Locally, timber was transported via a network of tramways. Although the logging industry plays a very important role in Kinglake, more and more people are resisting logging industry for the protection of the environment and ecology.

To protect native vegetation and sustain timber production, plantations have been established in Victoria. However, Large areas of land must be removed from their natural vegetation to establish plantations, which can cause issues including soil erosion, ecological disruption, and biodiversity loss.2

According to the Mater plan of Kinglake nation park, when tourists visit this national park, more people go to Masons Falls, while The Gum Campground is only favored by some tourists, most of them come here for camping. But this place has many interesting paths leading to fascinating destinations. Design can consider how to develop them and how to attract more diverse groups.

The kingllake national park was devastated in 2009, with the Black Saturday fires covering nearly the entire park. After the embers cooled, 98% of the magnificent jungle in Kinglake National Park was reduced to ashes. Fortunately, with the goodwill of people, Kinglake National Park has been rebuilt, regenerated and restored, and the establishment of ecological corridors and reforestation has accelerated the return of life. In 2012, restoration work was nearly complete and most visitor stops and the extensive track network reopened, including The Gum Campground.

The Gum Campground offers a way for humans to get along with nature, with great potential to think about the relationship between humans and nature. When we talk about forests, we think of their value as a commodity, factories that produce and extract wood, or a way to offset their carbon footprint by creating carbon credits. However, these perceptions of forests only reflect people's needs and absorption of nature and forests.

After researching the traditional life of the taungurung people in Australia and exploring my own way of life in the past few weeks, I wondered if the design at The Gum Campsite could be developed in a way that would properly return the forest. Through the setting of activities, the renewal of infrastructure, the management of the landscape and the arrangement of the path, in conjunction with the local community and traditional owners to create a different way of life. In addition to having a comfortable experience, visitors can also spontaneously choose a low-carbon lifestyle in this site, participate in the care of the forest and get an immersive experience and education in it, achieving the possibility of healing, restoring, caring for and nourishing the earth (as shown in the image above).

Concept

Thw Gum Campground offers a way for humans to get along with nature and has great potential to think about the relationship between humans and nature. When we talk about forests, we think of their value as a commodity, factories that produce and extract wood, or a way to offset their carbon footprint by creating carbon credits. However, these perceptions of forests merely reflect people's need for forests. After researching the traditional life of the Taungurung people in Australia and exploring low-carbon life-style, The Gum Campground was designed to be developed with the proper care of the forest, through the setting of activities, the management of agroforestry, a variety of experiences are created with the local community and traditional owners, including different ways of camping, but also different ways of accessing the forest. In addition to different experiences, tourists can also spontaneously choose a low-carbon lifestyle, participate in caring for the forest, gain immersive experience and education, and realize the possibility of mutual benefit with the forest.

The Gum Campground is influenced by everyone who uses it. This includes not only Kinglake national park, but traditional owners and local communities. The redesigned the Gum Campground is a dynamic corridor with multiple functions, in order to achieve connection and a strong sense of belonging, this campground works with all stakeholders to achieve the best outcome for all parties.

In this area (at the bottom of the site) surrounded by many tall and significant trees, there is a bridge weaving under the canopy, allowing people to access the forest in another way.

In addition to providing a platform for people to enjoy the scenery, the forest pavilion extends the deck at the bottom, which is the starting point for people to go to the secret island, take their own hand-made canoes, go to the secret island, and start a unique camping experience.
