  Descripción

  I am building a shared living space amongst the trees most of the way up a small mountain near Booral, NSW Australia. So far there is a timber cabin (almost complete), outdoor sheltered kitchen, flushing toilet, hot shower and bush spa. There is a small vegetable garden made of wicking beds), and chickens. Sleeping quarters for guests is a bell tent suspended from a tree, a large tent on the ground, or in the cabin if it's free. This is about sharing, so I would love to have people join me at times. Helping with work would be flexible, however you feel led. Transport can be arranged from Newcastle as I work there two days a week as a tree services contractor in partnership with my son. (Treesmith Newcastle is our business name). If you arrive by car it's a long steep track that gets you to the ridge where the cabin is. I have been driving a two wheel drive Holden Astra up here, but most people would call it four wheel drive only. If you have a car that you want to be careful of, I can pick you up from the bottom of the hill. One hour's drive north of Newcastle. Not far from the Barrington Tops. A wilderness experience very much off the grid.

  For me this is mostly about sharing and having a good time. We can all learn from each other. For travellers I would love to share some things about this country, show you around a bit, and also invite you to enjoy a place to stay for a while and feel free to do your own thing.
