Description
We are on 115 Acres protected Trust for Nature bushland. We are gradually getting set up to host retreats and camps, eco dharma and caring for country camps. Property is entirely off grid. There are lots of wild flowers and grass trees, emus, roos and more. It is an incredibly peaceful place. We are looking for help with projects clearing camp sites and weeds. Working on the tiny house, sanding and oiling and painting. Particularly looking for someone with basic plumbing skills for rain tanks and bush showers. We are also seeking a carpenter to help with building bush kitchen project.
We are not a business selling any produce. We are developing a bush-style retreat centre and prepping the place.
You will be staying in a bell tent or in your own van.
This place will suit someone who wants some peace and quiet. No smoking or drugs or alcohol and no furry friends please
