    Description

    Do you dream of living in a stunning hinterland setting?
    Are you highly motivated and ready to share your awesome skills?

    Our community farm, nestled in the heart of Upper Coopers Creek between breathtaking national parks,
    is calling your name! With a rich heritage of indigenous and frontier history,
    years of alternative community culture, our farm is a place like no other.

    we’ve been all about community development, sustainable land practices, land rehabilitation, and self-reliance.
    We've faced fires, hail, floods, and even a virus, but nothing can keep us down!
    We're resilient and always looking to the future.

    We’re on the lookout for fun, skilled, and motivated volunteers to join our small but mighty team.
    From enhancing our water supplies and energy self-sufficiency to rocking media development projects, there's always something exciting happening here.

    Join us as we rebuild, maintain, renovate, and expand our farm, step by step.
    Be a part of our big vision to create a vibrant hub for our friends, family, and the wider valley community.

    Sound like your kind of adventure? We’d love to have you on board!
