Description
I am a bush woman, forest dweller. I am rebuilding everything after the fires, with the intention to create something that will be supportive in this ever-changing climate. The land I care for is something special, something that most people never experience. it is rugged, and beautiful. I am rebuilding as i listen to the land and her needs.
Types of help and learning opportunities

DIY and building projects
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travelers would learn the skills necessary to live in the Australian bush, closely connected to nature in all her glory, beauty and power. I practice yoga and meditations every day and if they wish to join me as the sun rises over the mountains, they would be welcome to experience the powerful beauty of this also, they will learn how to build a permaculture garden and keeping water in the land, creative ferro cementing rails and garden walls, rock work and paving as well as maintaining the land in a conscious way. They will lean about living on the land amongst forested mountains and the vibrant community here.
Help
I am living on the edge of a big forested national park, re-building after losing everything including house and permaculture garden in the fires of NYE 2020. I will be needing help with projects such as Ferro cementing, mixing and applying cement, building retaining walls, creating a grey water system that feeds an orchard, fencing, creation of garden and orchard, mud rendering, general maintenance, artistic paving and stonework and also sewing curtains and drapes.

Accommodation
accommodation is simple, either a comfortable little caravan or in a carpeted bell tent. Travelers will be welcome to chill out in the house and eat delicious (mostly) vegetarian meals with me in the mud brick house I am creating also. If you are comfortable held in the arms of nature, this is your place to visit!
What else ...
Time off could be swimming in the nearby dam or at the ocean, which is 40 minutes away, there is a magnificent lake down the road and a Kayak available to use also. The surrounding forest is a playground to explore, and the small country town nearby has freestyle dances every second Friday where you will meet an array of interesting people on the dance floor, or the local pub for a more earthy yarn over a beer and some pub food. I am a relatively quiet person, deeply spiritual with a solid yoga practice, but I do like to have fun. I invite people that respect and love nature, who are not afraid of the animals you will be surrounded by here and who like to hook in and learn and finish a project that you can be proud of. My house is a safe haven from the world, and I am passionate about creating the right peaceful energy for the house and land.
I have much wildlife around me including snakes of which I live peacefully with. I hope to find people that are ok with this.
