Descripción
We are inside an ancient rainforest. Not totally remote but it feels that way. We aim to enjoy and improve our place with minimum impact on the amazing natural environment around us. Our neighbour is World Heritage listed Daintree National Park.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
Trees, landscape and wildlife. Cassowaries and ancient cycads. So diverse we find things new to us. There is always something unknown. Exploring and embracing the rainforest. Immerse yourself in nature as private and secluded as you wish. Fun with languages, music and food. We love local produce. Engage with the local community and other Workawayers or just time for yourself. Four bicycles to share. We can show you places we love. Hike up our creeks into the Alexandra Range, walk along beaches with crocodiles, find swimming holes without crocodiles or tourists, great ice cream on the way. If you're into plants, animals or rocks, this is the place to be.

Enthusiasm and love for the rainforest guides our projects. We try for minimal impact while we work on improving our simple accommodation and at the same time preserve the area around us. In a rainforest, the list is endless: Small building projects, some bigger projects, building pathways to the creeks, propagating and planting trees, and also the fun jobs cooking, cleaning and maintenance. We make up projects as we go. Bring whatever skills and passions you have. We have the shovels, wheelbarrows, paint brushes and enough tools to express your creativity.

Alojamiento
Workawayers share a separate cabin with kitchen, separate bathroom/laundry and a huge veranda facing into the rainforest. It's basic and comfortable. Everything off grid but we have internet. Fun to share meals but you can also do your own thing. No dietary restrictions except we don't like too much salt. Our veranda has been a venue for art, music, yoga, gymnastics, fire twirling, naked hippies, construction projects and tents. Normally it's a favourite place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We can also accommodate camping and camper vans. Property is non smoking and naturist friendly.

This is the most wonderful place in an amazing part of an ancient rainforest just a few hours north of Cairns in tropical North Queensland. Cairns to Cooktown coastal bus service three days a week via Cow Bay. Mossman Gorge and Port Douglas (if you need a tourist fix) are half way in between. Cape Tribulation is not far north. Boat from Cape Trib to go snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef (but you have to pay for that). Do the boardwalks or just walk along the Cow Bay beaches. Sunrise (it's an early start) and full moon rise over the ocean. Plenty to explore and find. One week is just an introduction. We love to share what we know and explore new places with our visitors. We have no lifestyle demands or expectations beyond being happy, friendly, enthusiastic and respectful of each other.

His property is nestled away in the rainforest and was a very pleasant and peaceful place to be.
David was a very generous host and provided lots of delicious ingredients to make meals with, showed us a couple of secret swimming holes and took us to the local market in Mossman.

We were lucky to have a small guided tour with him through this mysterious forest, enriched by his fascinating explanations about the surrounding nature.
Thank you for the wonderful moments spent here.
I discovered my surprising love for repotting tree saplings and i had great fun preparing the area for treeplanting, shoveling dirt. Other that that we also got to do a bunch of small tasks and helping around the house. Work hours were distributed around the day, … read more

We helped with different tasks like building a staircase to the river, cooking, sorting things or renewing the bathroom floor. But the most important part for David was that we experience the rainforest and we definitely did:).
