Description
Hi I have a beautiful property located in the heart of the Grampians at Halls Gap in Victoria. Approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes from Melbourne.
Currently I’m building an off grid tiny house for myself using nearly all reclaimed materials , an outdoor kitchen and creating a natural swimming pond. I’m very passionate about having a low impact on the environment and showing how it’s possible to create a beautiful living space very cheaply and sustainably. The Grampians is a fantastic area to visit especially for international travellers! There are many stunning locations to visit close by.
I offer free accommodation and most meals can be provided in exchange for some help on the projects. Workawayers will only be helping with projects on my private home and garden area. I enjoy sharing knowledge and experiences and if anyone has some knowledge about aquaponics or experience creating vegetable gardens that would be a bonus as I’m keen to learn more.

We cleaned the guest house and did some trivial things that even cannot be regarded as work. The workload is not heavy at all and you’ll have plenty of time to plan your own schedule.
Jimmy’s property was quiet and peaceful. Usually you can see stars full of the sky. And we share a tent which… read more
