Australia Day 2015 in Sydney. Low cloud and an all-day drizzle softened the colours and also toned down the red-white-and-blue flag-wagging nationalism that usually happens on the harbour at this time. As the clouds rolled over the houses on the opposite shore and the city buildings and the fibreglass hulls and the bridge and opera house you could almost imagine another January day on Milk Beach in similar weather, a few hundred years ago.

Good Habitat is a newly named working unit founded by Heidi Dokulil, Beatrice Chew and myself. It continues and extends our habitat-related interests and activities of the last few years and —now we have thought through and completed a body of work—is a more clearly articulated expression of what we do, particularly for projects that are current and upcoming. We create, facilitate and broadcast projects around the idea of good habitat through publishing, talks, exhibitions, workshops, community projects and education.
