    Description

    We, Justin & myself Jeanie, Summer (17) and little Zazen (3) live in the rainforest in FNQ, Kuranda. We have 2.8 acres of beautiful land with an interesting shipping container home. Our property has many vegetable gardens, and self sufficient practices.
    We have a heritage listed train carriage with a king size bed and single bed and outdoor shower/bathroom to immerse yourself in nature. There is an outdoor kitchen also. Composting toilet is now complete.
    We have many DIY building projects on the go and opportunities for learning. I am a Gardening teacher and ex English teacher and Justin is working as an arborist/landscaper, offering many opportunities for learning from us in FNQ.
    We are in the heart of tropical paradise in Australia, surrounded by bushwalks, waterfalls, the Great Barrier Reef, stunning beaches, creeks and a great many tourist attractions. We love to visit our natural wonders on weekends and would be happy to share this with you too. We are currently renovating our Kitchen and building a greenhouse. We also need help with daily living chores, cleaning, gardening and entertaining Zazen.
