    Description

    We are a family living on a colourful, sustainable, semi-rural property in the heart of the "Rainbow Region" of northern NSW.

    We are a mum Anya, dad Shey, 4yr old son, living in a big colourful building we call the "Art Barn" and enjoy gardening and being outdoors, spending time with our friends and community and doing many creative projects including performing live music and kids entertainment!

    We live on a beautiful property with access to a creek full of crystals, beautiful forest and waterfall/swimming hole.

    The area we live in has an amazing alternative scene, and our local village is the famous Hippy village of Nimbin.

    We also have some cute pets, our cat Dave, dog Yindi and a few rabbits! On our property is also a horse, ducks, chickens and other dogs!

    We are an alternative household and enjoy living a life close to nature. Our home is surrounded by forest and we encounter critters and insects regularly.
