Description
HI! We live on the property as a communal family. Its my mum Lyn 70, my brother Pk 41 and myself Jem 43.
We've lived on the land for 40 years and enjoy the quiet creative natural life. We have a few permaculture principals in practice. Lots of chooks, a big orchard, vege gardens and but mostly untouched, native bush.
I work and study in conservation and am passionate about caring for country.
We are friendly and open people, well travelled and we all live in our own homes on the property, which is around 50ha.
We have a dog ( Mackie) wjo loves sticks and running.
We enjoy sharing meals and making stuff together. We all enjoy music and movement.

Gardening
DIY and building projects
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The benefits that we can offer travellers is the opportunity to stay in a natural, quiet, peaceful bush. At the right time of year there are an amazing selection of wildflowers and orchids. There are so many birds...blue wrens, fairy wrens, parrots, cockatoos. We live only 15 minutes walk thru the bush to get to the pristine Muttonbird Island and beach, which is great for fishing, surfing and snorkelling.

Help
HI! I'm really needing help with some eco building projects. In particular, a composting toilet and a camp kitchen and fire bath area.
I have tools and have also collected materials.
I just don't have the physical strength and skills to complete these projects by myself.
