  Description

  Hello!! And welcome!
  
  We are lucky enough to be the new guardians of our beautiful 100 acre block in Geegelup / Bridgetown. This slice of heaven consists of of 20 acres of farming land and 80 acres of native bushland on the Blackwood River.
  
  The 80 acres of bush is a Conservation block under "Nature for Wildlife" and a conservation trust. It is full of diverse flora and fauna. Redgums, Jarrahs, Wandoo, Banksia's (just to name a few) scattered across hilly land scattered with quartz and granite. Redtails, Carnaby's, blue wrens, finches, maggies, kangaroos, skinks, quenda's and more! Endless trails for bushwalking, hiking (as it is extremely hilly) or braving the cold and swimming in the river or throwing your kayak in for a paddle. The 20 acres of farmland in-need-of-much-love, consists of vege gardens, old established orchard trees, varieties of nut trees, bee gardens, rose gardens and old chook pens, sheds, shacks etc:
  
  Our wonderful property is in need of much love, hands in the soil and a new burst of energy, though it is a truly magical place to rest, restore, be still and step back to appreciate nature.
  
  We are peaceful, content individuals who live a simple holistic lifestyle. We have a very loving pooch who will lovingly become your best mate! We enjoy connecting with like minded individuals, learning about new cultures and sharing healthy, nutritious meals (all to be grown by us eventually!) We also love our quiet time and space. If this sounds like you, we are very much looking forward to sharing our piece of land with travellers wanting to contribute and learn as we create a sense of community.
  
  We would be so grateful to have a willing hand with the following ..
  
  - Restoration DIY projects - Old sheds / shacks in need of fixing up, painting, plastering walls etc
  - Vege Gardens - Irrigation, planting, weeding, composting, re-soiling
  - Gardening - Pruning, whipper snipping, mowing, weeding, slashing, planting, landscaping.
  - General maintenance - Pulling down old fences, replacing fences, tidying up.
  - Eco projects - Helping to design composting toilets, eco showers etc:
  - Art projects - Native Australian Murals, wall art (internal and external) sharing creative skills
  
  As we don't have infrastructure set up just yet for guests we can offer a basic camp trailer (*Not a caravan* With basic cooking facilities and a cosy nook to sleep in) or a Belle tent with use of our shower and toilet. Self sufficient travellers with caravans, 4wd's ect are very welcome!
  
  *** Please note - Phone service can be limited on the property ***
  
  Town is 15 mins drive away where all amenities are accessible. (Shops, cafes, petrol, hotels, restaurants, farmers markets) Beautiful walks and local attractions fill the area.
