Michael and I, (both 58 years old) and our friendly labrador Marley, live in our family home, on a private 5 acres, on the Blackall Range (about 425 m above sea level), Sunshine Coast Hinterland, 82 kilometres north of Brisbane. Two acres around the house are intensively managed, and the other 3 acres are rainforest, and weedy lantana and privet patches, down to Obi Obi Creek at the bottom of the property. We have two options to offer as accommodation for our WWOOFer volunteers, depending on vacancy. Our self contained granny flat underneath the main residence can accommodate a single person or a couple. Upstairs in the main residence there is a spare bedroom with ensuite, and external patio and entry. We have recently purchased the property, and are keen to establish the veggie patch and orchard, and regenerate areas of rainforest, according to permaculture principles. I am a soil consultant, working with regenerative agriculture/organic farmers and market gardeners across Australia, but particularly in south east Queensland. A few times a year, I teach soil classes for organic farmers and market gardeners, and also teach the soil component of the permaculture course at Crystal Water Eco Village. My speciality is soil mineral balancing. I completed a permaculture design certificate 22 years ago, and this will be my third (and last) personal permaculture property set up, but I am only just beginning, so there is much to be done. In our spare time, Michael and I both enjoy time on the water, fishing, and snorkelling on the wrecks at Tangalooma.

Our main residence is located in the centre of Orange NSW. We have a permaculture garden located at home and we also have a large scale Permaculture Educational Centre Holistically managed being built on 97 acres at Cargo. There is quite a lot of mixed work available at Cargo starting with the building of vegetable gardens, service areas for composting, buildings, food forest and pathways. Accommodation consists of a caravan  with all facilities available at the property. If working at the home or café permaculture gardens then you will stay in a room located at the home. Old fashioned home cooked meals for the evening meals with everyone joining in. Length of stay negotiable.  Keen to hear from people who would like to stay long term and work with us to develop a village setting at our Permaculture site at Cargo.  Plus those of you who also can help us with garden maintenance and animal care in town at our home.

Hi we have a very quirky farmstay/healing centre surrounded colour,  installation art. with Tipis and yurts

Here it is natural farming methods of producing beef,fruit and vegetables that are used here.there are large veggie gardens and extensive fruit orchards with a big variety of fruit that bear during the season-trickle watering. This ensures juicy produce, the working dogs & horses require years of training, there is minimal reliance on machinery but a wood splitter machine has been a boon to getting the wood supply done, an axe has proved to be out of date, it surely minimises the amount of hard work. Chooks also help supply plenty of eggs when they are laying.

We moved in to this 100 acre property, situated between Pemberton and Northcliffe in the South West of Western Australia, at the end of 2018. It is surrounded by stunning karri forrest and on the crossing of the Bibbulmun walking trail and the Munda Biddi cycling trail. We have a productive home orchard and veggie gardens, as well as ponds and a lake with marron, the largest freshwater crayfish in the world and pretty tasty. We have cows, sheep, chickens, and a couple of worm farms. Also a very energetic young pomeranian dog, Rupert. Plenty of water is also a bonus in this country. In addition to our rammed earth house, there are also 4 holiday cottages on the property. Most of the time, our helpers can stay in one of the cottages if it is not during busy holiday times or long weekends. Otherwise, they stay in our house in the spare room. We have spare bikes for our helpers, so that they can go and explore this beautiful area.

Work for 2 hours a day: gardening, composting, weeding, cleaning common rooms, or helping prepare a shared meal. You'll stay in the lovely common-house where there is a guest room, dining room, bathroom, internet, b.b.q and a kitchen where you can prepare most of your own meals. You are staying in the community house, and all community members have their own individual houses. This means that although we do love to hang out together and we are a friendly mob, most of us work outside the community, and have busy lives. Staying at Pinakarri you might be & work quite a lot of time by yourself, so you do have to be a self-starter and a person that is o.k living & working alone. Pinakarri welcomes adults, couples, 2 friends, 1 child OK . We prefer hosting people long term so we can get to know you and you us! But let's try one week first..
