To me a major attraction of the permaculture concept is its international perspective and scope. We are afterall seeking to put our gardening efforts into a whole earth perspective when we talk about sustainability.
Australia, of course, is the home of permaculture:

And British permaculture has influenced developments world wide:

So glad to see a permaculture forum here.
