Description
We are a well travelled older (but young minded) couple, who have lived on our alternative lifestyle farm for 47 years. Our love of the rainforest around us has led us to plant many many thousands of trees on our 64 hectare property, to extend the rainforest into our land. The Otway National Park is directly on two sides,
We enjoy sharing all our farm produce with our extended family, neighbours, and friends. As a Workawayer helping us you will not be contributing to growing of produce for sale, but can help with gardening, working with animals and general farm maintenance
Apollo Bay provides a unique combination of ocean and mountain, rainforest and green rolling farmed grassland, which allows us to indulge our passion for nature, organic farming, (and for one of us), sailing the often wild waters of Bass Strait where the famous Sydney-Hobart yacht race is held.
