Digger Street is a Cairns based experiential project based around the concept of a post consumerist Arts Community.  Currently its large area contains three large Queenslander's houses that accommodate around 20 people from a variety of backgrounds.

It aims to create a supportive community where people are able immerse themselves in their pursuits. Situated in the tropics where balmy winter days make way for the tempest of the wet. It is a participatory project where one learns about community development through doing and should not be regarded as long term accommodation. Community members self fund Digger Street on an equal dollar basis and expects also an effort equity from its participants.

“It is about supporting the ones that want to do something towards their dreams. That want to get more productive in what they do or find out more precisely what it is that they want to do. It’s all about steps towards a better future in a post consumerist society but at the same time still be realistic and find a place/a suitable existence in the current society in the mean time. It’s about ‘striving’ towards the good whatever that is in each and every ones perception. And to get a clearer picture of what the good is that you want to put your energy into.” personal interpretation
