My house has been one of a dozen or so open to the public in the Sydney area on Sustainable House Day (originally called Solar House Day) for the last few years. This event normally takes place over the 2nd weekend in September. My house and several others in Western Sydney are expecting to be open on Saturday September 8th 2007. A complete list of all open houses and ticket prices will be posted on http://www.sustainablehouseday.com in the week before the event. |
