Descrição
Hi there from Emma and Robbie,
We live on the beautiful North West coast of Tasmania with two maremma dogs (big), two curious cats and seven roaming chickens on a lovely acre of land. Our dream is to transform our block into a sanctuary of lush vegetable, herb and fruit gardens with spaces for accommodation, retreat and creative arts. So far it is a bush block and we are just beginning...
At the moment we have a few small construction jobs on getting ready for winter including lining the shed with foil insulation, adding a couple of windows and doors, digging out the bank for access and drainage and lining a room for Bowen Therapy...
Here in the land of rainbows we have three sheds - we currently live in Shed 1 in a temporary camping type fashion with electricity, combustion heaters, limited hot and cold running water, an outside shower and composting toilet arrangement. There are two other 'bedrooms' in Shed 1 - one with a double bed, one single. The bedroom in Shed 2 is transforming into a therapy room for Bowen. We are working to create more amenable living areas. In the future we plan to build an ecofriendly permanent home on the knoll with views down to Table Cape. We also have a fold out caravan set up for visitors as per photos :)
We use organic gardening methods and hope to be certified one day. We are also very interested in permaculture and using many of these techniques and designs - plenty to learn here also though!
There is plenty of work to do including building, watering, pet care, mowing, brush cutting, planting, weeding, clearing, landscaping, setting up a small solar system, etc. We are experimenting with a giant hugelkulture which also needs input. Inside there is cooking, cleaning, sewing, animal care and other work such as making products such as jam and preserves, processing seeds and other creative endeavours.
Robbie is working part time and Emma has just completed her study as a Bowen therapist - always looking for volunteers to practice on!
Given our unusual accommodation situation it is good for us to have helpers with flexibility, initiative and independence.
We have friends with racehorses that need regular riding and if you are experienced there is a possibility to do some of this.
Playing music and singing are something we would like to do more of - as well as taking part in the local music scene. Robbie plays guitar and Emma ukulele :) We also like playing games like board games and table tennis.
We live in a wonderful place and love to share this with visitors - waterfalls, amazing beaches, unique land formations, beautiful towns, superb crafts and woodwork, mouth watering produce (and chocolate!), world famous hiking opportunities and so much more. When we have time it is our pleasure to show you around. At other times we can point you in the right direction and provide some resources to help.
We are happy to pick you up and drop you off from/to the nearest bus station/airport by arrangement.
There are various accommodation options available depending on what stage different projects are up to!
- The 'Glampervan' which has a double/queen bed, a sitting area and limited kitchen facilities
- A single bed inside Shed 1 which has visual privacy but not much audio privacy - and a double bed much the same.
Our home is safe and respectful. We care about your safety and space and expect the same in return.
Our journey with workaway so far has been lovely and we are keen to continue!
Both of us had a small amount of exposure to other languages at school and Robbie has had more recent experiences with German. We are keen to learn and happy to encourage others wanting to improve their English.
We are looking forward to meeting you, furthering some of our projects and sharing recipes and other life experiences :)Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

We are interested in permaculture and gardening, we like to play music and share this with others. We have building projects including creative aspects that will be interesting to some. This is a lovely place to experience and explore. Meeting others and hearing about their experiences and passions is great fun. We like to socialise and have friends of varied backgrounds. People love to stay with us and leave happy :)

Of course we are happy for people to work on their own projects/employment. At the moment the only internet we have is on our mobile phones so you would need to provide your own internet. We have a printer and desk.
Espaço para estacionar campervans
We are happy to have people in their own vehicles but we have limited facilities where the parking spot is - no power available. Very beautiful though :)

We are happy to consider pets that would fit in with the animals we already have here and our household circumstances. It's worth asking :)
