    Description

    We live in the bush in a 6m yurt, my two kids and I. They are 14 & 12 years old. We live on a large property with a creek and rainforest.

    Im looking for someone to help with projects like stacking wood, gardening, bush walking with the kids, painting the flower mural on the kitchen, companionship, culture exchange etc.

    I have many bushcraft skills I can share including basketry, candle making, spoon carving, mushroom 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 are 15mins 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.

    We can provide a single swag or tent. We have a hot shower and unlimited Starlink internet.
