In Septemebr 2008, our local Ballarat ABC Radio station was involved in a "Locavore Challenge", and reporter Jarrod Watt posted a series of stories as he investigated and lived what it meant to be a Locavore in Ballarat.

Some excellent writing and informing articles are summarised here for ease of discovery:
