Description
Our home is located on a lakeside 80 acre property, in Lorinna, in the North West of Tasmania.
50 acres is a spectacular protected forest nature reserve, with a 2.2 km walking track, which takes you down to Lake Cethana.
Fully off grid and we are moving towards sustainable living.
The property has an established orchard and a beautiful vegetable garden, all needing ongoing maintenance.
We have two dogs - who are a big part of our world - Archie (cavoodle) and Murphy (border collie) - they will love you too.
Also, we have chooks, geese and 5 sheep!

Help
With 80 acres, we have lots of jobs on the ‘to do list!’
We have a beautiful straw bale home, a big vegetable garden and over 120 fruit trees- all with a variety of tasks to do!
Depending on what time of the year, and what project we have underway - depends what we will love some help with.
