    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are a regular Aussie couple who work part-time and enjoy spending time in the gardens. We love to spend an evening by an outdoor fire. Our farm has kangaroos as well as many other wildlife and birds. Our connection to the earth is important to us as well as becoming more sustainable and learning organic gardening.
