Beschreibung
Hi there from Emma and Robbie,
We live on the beautiful North West coast of Tasmania with two maremma dogs (big), a curious cat and a flock of roaming chickens on a lovely acre of land. Our dream is to transform our block into a sanctuary of lush vegetable, herb and fruit gardens with spaces for accommodation, retreat and creative arts. So far it is a bush block and we are just beginning...
At the moment we are both working part time - having one or two people around who are happy to spend quiet time at the farm looking after and enjoying the animals while joining in with weekend projects is ideal for us.
Projects on the list include a few small DIY jobs - including adding a couple of windows and doors, creating a new garden for chickens and garlic, replacing the floor in the clinic, paving, digging out the bank for access and drainage, making curtains and weeding/mowing…. We are busy planting and gardening as well…
Here in the land of rainbows we have three sheds - Robbie and Emma live in Shed 1 in a temporary camping type fashion with electricity, a combustion heater, cold running water, an outside shower (hot water) and composting toilet arrangement. Shed 2 has my Bowen Therapy clinic and a bedroom. We are working to create more amenable living areas - constant improvement! In the future we plan to build an ecofriendly permanent home on the knoll with views down to Table Cape. We also have a fold out caravan set up for visitors and a tent with comfortable beds :)
During summer months we need to be conscious of water use as our property only has rainwater - it is important for our visitors to be able to be water conscious during this time as well.
We use organic gardening methods and hope to be certified one day. We are also very interested in permaculture and using many of these techniques and designs - plenty to learn here also though!
There is plenty of work to do including building, watering, pet care, mowing, brush cutting, planting, weeding, clearing, landscaping, woodchopping, setting up a small solar system, etc. We are experimenting with a giant hugelkulture which also needs input. Inside there is cooking, cleaning, sewing, animal care and other work such as making products such as jam and preserves, processing seeds and other creative endeavours. We enjoy sourdough whenever possible.
Robbie and Emma both work part time and Emma also works as a Bowen Therapy practitioner two half days a week.
Given our unusual accommodation situation it is good for us to have helpers with flexibility, initiative and independence.
Playing music and singing are something we would like to do more of - as well as taking part in the local music scene. Robbie plays guitar and Emma ukulele :) We also like playing games like board games and table tennis.
We live in a wonderful place and love to share this with visitors - waterfalls, amazing beaches, unique land formations, beautiful towns, superb crafts and woodwork, mouth watering produce (and chocolate!), world famous hiking opportunities and so much more. When we have time it is our pleasure to show you around. At other times we can point you in the right direction and provide some resources to help.
We are happy to pick you up and drop you off from/to the nearest bus station/airport by arrangement.
There are various accommodation options available depending on what stage different projects are up to!
- The 'Glampervan' which has a double/queen bed, a sitting area and limited kitchen facilities
- a two room tent with views to die for (during the warmer months)
Our home is safe and respectful. We care about your safety and space and expect the same in return.
Our journey with workaway so far has been lovely and we are keen to continue! We have met many wonderful people who stay in our hearts even after they have finished their stay.
Both of us had a small amount of exposure to other languages at school and Robbie has had more recent experiences with German. We are keen to learn and happy to encourage others wanting to improve their English.
We are looking forward to meeting you, furthering some of our projects and sharing recipes and other life experiences :) -

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
We are interested in permaculture and gardening, we like to play music and share this with others. We have building projects including creative aspects that will be interesting to some. This is a lovely place to experience and explore. Meeting others and hearing about their experiences and passions is great fun. We like to socialise and have friends of varied backgrounds. People love to stay with us and leave happy :)

Of course we are happy for people to work on their own projects/employment. At the moment the only internet we have is on our mobile phones so you would need to provide your own internet. We have a printer and desk.

We are happy to have people in their own vehicles but we have limited facilities where the flat parking spot is . Very beautiful though :)

Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen
We are happy to consider pets that would fit in with the animals we already have here and our household circumstances. It's worth asking :)
