  Description

  We are three people working towards a self-sufficient organic lifestyle and native habitat regeneration on a beautiful bush property 35 minutes from Hobart. One of us is a freelancer in the social services; one is a retired meteorologist; and one is a retired organic farmer. We are all politically engaged and well-traveled, and two of us enjoy practicing our French and Spanish.
  IMPORTANT: BECAUSE WE ARE 7.5 KM FROM THE NEAREST BUS STOP, YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN TRANSPORT.
