It falls! It's free! Catch it while you can!

There’s never a better time than the present to learn how to collect rainwater.

Join rainwater harvesting guru and multi-talented inventor Laurie Dee, who will take you through how to build your own rain barrel collection system.

Find out how to calculate how much rainwater your roof could capture; all about water dynamics; Council regulations for larger systems and other frequently asked questions.

After a quick break we'll have a practical session where you'll get your barrel drilled* and ready for set up at your place.

Join the rain harvesting club to start saving water and reducing your water bills!

* NB. EcoMatters has a limited number of rain barrels and kits that can be purchased on the day.
