Short Property Description

We live on 125 acres in the Yarra Valley- mostly bush for wildlife. We have a reasonable size garden around the house and large edible organic garden, that we use for our own personal use, throughout the year. I am a registered Wildlife Shelter and currently care for 12 larger wombats and support others after soft release, on our property. We are in a bushfire area and are always working to keep our place as safe as possible.

Organic/Biological methods we use

We aim to live a healthy lifestyle and grow as many of our foods as we can, especially during Spring and Summer. We don’t use sprays in our edible garden and preserve our crop, for use during the rest of the year.

Why I became a WWOOF Host

It is good to share expertise and teach respect for our beautiful Australian bush and the animals that inhabit it. Caring for the land, also includes growing fruit and vegetables without sprays. We have spoken to others who have had Woofers, that have had a very positive experience. Looking forward to this experience.
