    Swap #vanlife for #farmlife

    Hi, I'm Rahman, I am restoring and renovating my family's 150-acre former Barramundi Farm into a collaborative space fit for small farm projects and accommodation.
    We are located in beautiful Tropical North Queensland, close to Cairns and The Great Barrier Reef. This area is a botanist's wonderland with 3 different biospheres intersecting. The farm is approx 40 mins drive up the mountain from Cairns, in Speewah which is arid grassland country, only 15 minutes down the road is Kuranda, a lush rainforest township surrounded by dense rainforest and fresh waterfalls, averaging a whole 4 degrees cooler temperature than sea level.
    The property has one main house & lots of land dotted with ponds and fruit trees. We have mangoes, mulberries, citrus trees & wild orchids.
    Best to have your own transport to go adventuring and see all the natural attractions in the area. You will have your own private pond-side paddock to camp, swim and stargaze after a stimulating day's work.

    I am a designer and carpenter by trade. I can teach you a lot about elements of design.
    I am half-Australian and half-American with South African roots. I can help you cultivate your English with any of these accents. I grew up on this land so I can teach you about the area and it's natural cycles.
    I play the guitar, and like to sing. Bring your instrument and we can jam around the fire.

    Accommodation is available in a separate cottage. If you have your own campervan or tent then you are welcome to take your pick of pond-side paddocks where you can swim, cover yourself in mud, play music or enjoy the serenity. The cottage has its own bathroom/shower, a camp style kitchen and covered clothes line. The washing machine is in the main house. You write me a grocery list and I will keep you supplied with what you need to make your own meals.

    Use your downtime to explore this tropical oasis! The number of freshwater, crystal clear waterfalls and bush walks in the area is infinite. The famous Kuranda Markets are 15 minutes down the road. You won't ever be bored!
    There are wildlife on the property. If you are quiet enough you may see a kangaroo or a wallaby come down to one of the ponds for a drink.
    The Great Barrier Reef is on your doorstep. Head into Cairns on the weekend and go diving to see the coral reef and the bright rainbow-coloured fish or enjoy the nightlife on The Esplanade.
    Whether you're looking for adventure and exploration or peace and quiet away in the Aussie bush, you will find it here.
