Descrição
I am Luke. 38yo. I’m the bald guy in the photos. 5 acre property in the beautiful Kalang valley where I am establishing food gardens utilising natural concepts... aka Permaculture. 15 minutes drive from Bellingen, 40mins from Coffs Harbour. Wet sclerophyll forest surrounds. LGBTQ+ friendly environment.
Weekday school bus into Bellingen/Coffs harbour or easy hitchinking area if you don't have transport, and I may be of assistance as I do regular trips to Coffs Harbour in my car. Self contained accommodation 50m away from my house in a new guest cabin/workshop built from timber milled from the property. Wood fire. Loft sleeping area with epic views over the property.
Work tends to be creating new garden beds, pathways, irrigation, harvesting things and replanting, raising seedlings, looking after animals and aquaponics. Bush regen. Renovations. Earthworks. Endless choice. Or tell me what you think I should be working on.
World heritage listed Gondwana forest hiking trails nearby. River is across the road for swimming/kayaking/fishing/exploring. Rainbow creek magical glo-worm walk. Markets and cultural/music festivals hosted nearby every few weeks in Bellingen .
Compost toilets. Rain water. Omnivorous diet. I will do dinner that will usually result in leftovers for lunch, but keen to experience cuisine from far away lands should you wish to teach. Sometimes im busy with my job and would welcome you building some meal prep into your contribution. Breakfast is usually whatever you please from provided items such as muesli, fruit, dairy, bread, eggs and other garden goods. Tell me what you like.
No set expectations of daily work output, just what ever we both feel fits the current projects, your experience, skills and vigour, but in the realm of 20-25hrs spread over the week. I tend to be working on projects and in the garden on weekends and also for a few hours before sundown during the week after work.
You must have travel insurance that covers workaway/volunteering to stay here.

It was a pleasure to have them stay and revitalise a number of garden projects which had been neglected for some time. Tom put his experience in bush regen into action, and they cleared of weeds and tidied up a section of forest, as well… read more
