  Description

  I'm a semi retired landscape & garden architect and bought this 100acres unique coastal rainforest conservation property near Berry on the South Coast, 2.5 years ago.
  My main purpose with the land is to get to know the flora & fauna, learn the different ecosystems and wildlife plus educate myself how to preserve and improve the property and eradicate weeds and feral animals as much as possible.
  
  The house on the property is a unique architectural building which i have preserved during the total renovation plus i build The Black Barn for our kids, friends & family .
  
  The property is 2hrs south of Sydney and 10min from the beautiful town of Berry, close to Kiama, Gerroa, Gerringong and Nowra.
  Jervis Bay Marine & national Park with its Dolphins, Rays. a variety of birds and other wild life plus its white beaches is only a 45min drive.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I emigrated 40years ago from The Netherlands, I’m a Landscape & garden Architect with a great interest in Architecture and Nature and eager to learn about the Australian flora & Fauna and sharing my knowledge with people around me.
  We got a list of endangered species on my property which would be great to get indentified and located.
  If you like stone work, there is an opportunity to work with the local available stones, where you are able to put your creativity to work. Entrance wall, seating walls and other building works plus painting & gardening works etc
  Plus i need help to built a insta account.
