I also live in small town, use web for info, and forums to communicate with peers in same situation.

found that help from legal aid and lawyers very limited and bias.
so took to self representing much better.

I voluntarily work with DIDs in Newcastle, and we have recently assisted Wyong to get another group up and running. If you cant get to a group because there isnt one close by, contact Tony and discuss starting a new group in your area.

We are looking for someone and somewhere in Lake Macquarie to get another group up and running. There are local guys who will help anyone interested in finding a facility, and Tony will get facilitator training organised for anyone interested.

Start small
Think tall
Reach over the wall
In
Vest all
Ends well
