Help us create permaculture sanctuary in the native bush in Melbourne, Australia

  Descripción

  We are a family of 4 living on a 42-acre hobby farm on the outskirts of Melbourne - rated one of the most livable, exciting, culturally diverse cities in the world. We are at the gateway of the Grampians which is renowned for its wine and food. We are only 1.5 hrs from the Great Ocean Road. You will need a car with a license to explore this wonderful place.
  
  Our 42 acres (17 hectares) comprise pasture and Australian native bushland with a creek. We share this with 2 horses, 2 Australian Shepherds, a cat, chickens, a goldfish, a mob of kangaroos, and the odd wombat here and there. We have laughing kookaburras and diving kingfishers. We are a family of 4. My husband and I live in a small house on the property, and our 2 adult children live in the big stone house where you are invited to stay.
  
  Our vision is to create a permaculture sanctuary where our family and friends can find harmony and a haven in these crazy times. We invite people who want to be part of building this vision, and who bring enthusiasm, practical skills, and motivation to get things done.
  
  Past Workaways have enjoyed the tools and space we offer to build out their vans! And if you are into board games, you'll be in board game heaven here.
  
  Some of the projects we will work on include collecting wood, tidying up our forest, fencing; mowing and gardening, veggie gardening, and painting, to name a few.
  
  A good-sized bedroom with a double bed, shared bathroom, large modern kitchen, and communal areas. Good internet and streaming. We are right near the Wombat State Forest (oh yes – there are wombats as well).
  Ideally, we would like a couple. However, we have 2 bedrooms for 2 WorkAways at once.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We are building a permaculture property and adjusting to living according to permacultural principles so you'd have plenty of opportunities to learn this with us.
  
  You would have a terrific Australian cultural immersion living with our family and meeting our friends. Depending on when you come, you could learn how to sail with us.

  Ayuda

  We are improving our hobby farm by fencing, building vegetable gardens and wicking beds, and a real variety of other projects involving gardening, building and farming skills.
  
  You would be working alongside us and our local tradie for some projects that might involve more skilled trade work like setting up our tiny house project.

  Alojamiento

  You get your own room with a double bed and a built-in wardrobe. You share the bathroom facilities. You have full access to the kitchen, 3 large living areas, laundry, and any part of the property. We can provide food for the main meals that you can prepare yourself and some cooked meals. If you have special dietary options or drinks, and treats, then you need to manage yourself. No drugs or smoking of any sort are allowed on our property.

  Algo más...

  You will need a license to get around and it is preferable to have your own car although we can drive you to the local shops and train/bus.
  
  You get a bit of everything here. We are at the gateway to the Grampians region, near Daylesford. It is a beautiful wine-growing region, with lots to do - horse riding, trekking, rock climbing, and lots of little townships with lovely food and places to explore. You are only 1.5 hours away from the Great Ocean Road where you can go surfing and exploring the Otway Ranges. And you can easily get into Melbourne either on the train or by driving and check out the entertainment and great sites and food of Melbourne.
  
  We have Australian bush on our place and are surrounded by a huge Australian forest so you'd see kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, parrots or all sorts, and all sorts of other Australian wildlife.
  
  Our place is about 15 km away from the local shopping centre and train, and 50 minutes away from Melbourne.

  We have good internet and plenty of lovely spaces in the house to work from and overlook the property. Gary and I work from home most of the time but live in a separate dwelling from the big house where you will be. This means we are there when you need us - but not in your face when you don't.

  Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas

  We have plenty of room for a campervan or motorhome and can plug you into electricity if you want to stay in your own van. You can even work on your own van if you want to convert it!!
