  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We'd love to learn about your culture and language. You can learn about off-grid living and life with a chirpy 4 year old haha! See some innovative renewable cooling and heating approaches. We can guide you in experiencing Central Australia, if you are keen we take you to popular and remote spots by 4WD and introduce you to friendly locals.
