  Description

  Our family home is nestled in seclusion on 1/4 acre in the heart of town with Australian birds & wild life a plenty, a creek & bush reserve. Our garden consists of fruit trees, Bush Tucker, herbs, veggies, worms, bees, chooks & ducks. Must love animals and have no allergies as we have indoor cats and our friendly Labrador, Dex. We accept workers in a gift economy sense. Give freely, receive freely. Share the load in our home & garden in exchange for accommodation & sharing knowledge and experiences.
  
  We follow permaculture methods because we are passionate about self-reliance & future steading. We love growing, cooking, preserving, fermenting, medicine -making & brewing our home-grown & local produce. We have many permaculture systems in place & can show how these self-sufficient principles work in a 'normal' aussie house block in suburbia.
  
  Other hobbies include weaving, bushwalking, surfing, music, craft and yoga.
  
  Keith is Canadian (we met while he was backpacking in Oz in '89), Nicole is of Italian heritage. We have 3 grown children & 2 beautiful baby grand daughters who live around the corner & visit often. We are short walking distance (10mins) to Mollymook beach, Harbour & shops & a few minutes drive to Milton.
  
  We prefer 1-2 week stay, work is 2-3 hours a day (weekends free) leaving you plenty of time to explore the beautiful south coast. Learning sustainable and self reliant practices like permaculture, fermenting, greenhouse gardening, propagating, home brewing, beekeeping, making mead, canning & pickling, weaving & Herbal medicine. Nicole also runs the occassional community workshop.
