    Description

    We live on a growing little hobby farm, my two kids and I. They are 15 & 13 years old. One child is homeschooled. They are super social kids and love learning about you. We live on a hectare of land and have just moved our tiny home here. Things are quite rustic at the moment as we get setup. We share our home with a little happy dog, a wild duckling, some quail and a mini goat.

    Im looking for people to help with projects like mulching, gardening, bush walking with the kids, walking the goat and dog, companionship, culture exchange etc. We will share some dinners but it would be great if you can be self sufficient with food.

    I have many bushcraft skills I can share including basketry, candle making, spoon carving, foraging, botanical inks, eco printing etc. We live a very slow purposeful life and like to play lots. We swim nearly everyday and craft a lot. We know all the best swim spots and we’d love to show you.

    We are 10mins from Deloraine which has a Woolworths, library, post office, pubs, cafes and more. There are lots of excellent hikes or day walks to do within 10-30mins of us. Devonport and Launceston are 40min drive. 5 mins from mole creek, home of cave country.

    We can provide a single swag or 2 person tent. We have a camp hot shower , compost toilet. No internet but we do have phone service.
