    Conondale (farm live)

    Come and help me with my syntropic project. You'll live in a tiny house or caravan, have access to a large, well-equipped kitchen and be surrounded by our beautiful, authentic Australian nature. On the property you can observe many kangaroos, kukaborras and other animals while enjoying the peace and quiet of the property. As we are somewhat remote, volunteers with a car are preferred, but it is not essential. Other people on the farm have a car. Nearby is the lovely town of Maleny with nice restaurants, cafes and shopping. At the moment I mainly need help building a fence for the garden and setting up the syntropic garden project.

    In the longer term, I am planning to build another small house and would therefore be very happy to have volunteers with building experience.

    You would help for 2 hours a day, this means 14 hours over the week.. This is sometimes done over 2 or 3 days so folk have the rest of the week off.. You will need to bring your own food, I will provide water and basic kitchen utensils.

    Accommodation

    We can cater for couples of single people. A new bedroom has been created that is stunning. You either live in a tiny house or campervan, but you have access to the main house with a proper shower with hot water, large kitchen and lounge. We have a nice veranda that provides us with shade during the day and we like to sit together in the evening with a glass of wine or a beer and have a good time. But you can spend your free time as you like.
