    Help

    I have a range of projects coming up from sorting out the grounds to painting and just generally keeping up with stuff! A lot of flax and trees have got out of control and need pruning. This is not difficult work but time consuming.There is always weed control to be done. I am planning a painting project but haven't got a clue how to begin. Someone who knew something about that would be a big help.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Tora is famous as a surf destination. There are some great places to walk and with a bit of planning I can possibly organise a farming experience. If you like diving then it may be possible to gather some seafood. Some people enjoy surf casting off the beach.
