Meet Sister Kaye Bryan, the "ying" to Sr Carmel's "yang". Hear her story about the early days of ErinEarth, the work both sisters spent in getting the Wagga community on board back in the mid to late 1990s, and the love and passion Kaye still brings to the space and its broader placement within sustainable living and ecological justice.
Twenty-five years ago, ErinEarth was two asphalt tennis courts and a dumping ground for a nearby school. Then two local Presentation Sisters, Carmel Wallis and Kaye Bryan, had the audacity to dream big and take action. This is the story of how Carmel and Kaye galvanised the Wagga Wagga community and turned a local wasteland into a half-hectare native garden. A quarter of a century later, ErinEarth stands tall as a beacon of biodiversity, demonstrating sustainable living to the local community.
