Sitting as it does, equidistant between the thickly wooded forests of what are now Budawang State Forest and Tallaganda National Park, Braidwood has long been a centre for the production of Eucalyptus Oil says local Aikido Instructor Matthew Hulse. Mr Hulse has organised a course to be run in the dying art of distilling the oil by former boilers Barry Jonas and Lloyd Webb.
Eucalyptus Oil has a wide range of uses, including as a cleaner, a paint-stripper, a disinfectant, a perfume or a sheep-dip.
The course will run on the 5th of November at Tombarra in Mongarlowe NSW, beginning at 9am. It will cost $154, which includes lunch, afternoon tea, oil samples and notes from the day. For further information, contact Matthew Hulse on 0438648468 or at mat@thefarmdojo.com.au.
