    Description

    We are a rural coastal property with gardens and animals, we practice organic farming and regeneration of native bush, we also love surfing and take care of our local surf point.
    We take conservation very seriously and we are focused on regeneration of the local bush on our land and our surrounding area - we take care of the local surf break - clean up after campers have left a mess at the beach and weed the gorse and wild weeds etc

    We will share our passion for all things ocean - surfing and paddling our local beach and rock pools, we will share our passion for taking care of the local vegetation and knowledge of local plants and bird life so unique to our costal land we love.
