  Description

  Hello, We live in our hand built
  straw bale house on a community property of 100 acres in the hills behind famous Byron Bay. There is me and my 14 year old daughter and my partner is here half the time. We have a big veggie garden and chickens. We are also busy working and at school etc so we are out a lot! We need some help in the gardens and around the house! We like books, art, photography music, cooking and travel. My partner is a musician. We are friendly and the area we live in is very beautiful but any visitors would need to be pretty independent people. We are 30 minutes drive from world famous beaches in an area renowned for its incredible nature and alternative culture. There is no public transport but we go out a lot so there is plenty of options for lifts and people still hitch hike around here a lot. Our nearest town is Mullumbimby which is a 15 minute drive away. There are no shops or cafes in walking distance. We are quiet people and like early nights and early mornings but we also love music and a glass of natural wine or home made ginger beer and a board game. We have no TV but we have computers and wifi....if this sounds like somewhere you would like to visit We’d love to meet you!
