    ✨✨
    We are a down to earth couple looking for like minded people to share our pristine 16 acres with! 🌿🦎 It is abundant with wildlife and has two dams, one we utilise for swimming.
    Help is needed with light building, gardening, land work, among other things. We are a developing nature/animal sanctuary and looking after the land by observing eco & permaculture practices 🍀
    We have a renovated caravan for accommodation but still building the kitchen atm 🤗 There is a composting toilet, hand washing station and water for you to access and a hot shower in our tiny home.
    Endless bush walks as we back onto National Park. We are 10 mins from organic markets, bakery and cafes, yet very much immersed in the bush. 25 mins from IGA supermarket. We welcome short term to start with a view to long term 🌿 Can transport people on days we go to town or work. If you don't have a car we can collect you from Richmond station.

    We have been work awayers in the past when travelling around Europe and Thailand, and now live being hosts!

    We are open to a tiny home, van or caravan parking on the land full time if you wish to rent land. One large area has power access OR we are open to offering the van, tent and nature connection and meals each day in exchange for the days you work 🌻☀️🌻☀️ Please reach out if this sounds like something you may be interested in 🙂 #nature #bushlife #offgrid #animalsanctuary #communityconnection #culturalexchange
