  Beschreibung

  Hi Dan here, I live on the south coast NSW at a place called Wallaga Lake, / beauty point a small coastal village, My house is 100m from the beach I’ve lived near the ocean for most of my life and I'm comfortable at reading and knowing the ocean. So if surfing or learning how to is something you would like to know and learn then the beach opposite my house is a good all-round beach whether you're a beginner or an experienced surfer. Surfing has been one of the best things I’ve ever learnt to do in my whole life and I’m happy to teach beginners the basics and assist with their learning process. As well as other beach and ocean activities
  
  I'm a friendly person with an open mind. I find it interesting to meet people with different life experiences and lifestyles. I admire conversations that have the ability to change my point of view or perspective though connection , feelings and understanding
  
  I've worked in many different roles over the years, all within the environment field, mostly with different government organisations and non for profit Aboriginal organizations, been a Field Ranger for both National Parks and Marine Parks,  A community liaison and support worker , delivered projects that protect threatened species and their  habitat,  projects that creating awareness of  anthropologic events and the importance of sacred Indigenous sites but now I enjoy just working for myself,
  
  I have a passion for traditional land management through the use of fire; it’s a complex but gentle approach with fire that enhances and protects ecosystems and habitats within the Australian landscape. Traveling across the land like water and has an opposite effect to the terrifying destructive fires that we see today. this practice was a part of Australian landscape systems for thousands of years before colonisation I like to try and learn from nature, though connection and watching how it works with all it unique symbiotic relationships and patterns within each landscape and ecosystem,
  
  I can teach a few local Indigenous landscape stories, some bush foods and plant uses
  
  I will always be respectful and create a comfortable safe space for my workaway guest. And if a guest decides that this place is not for them then I’m happy for them to leave at their own according
