Short Property Description
Post Black Summer Fires where we lost everything but the land itself, I am building a mud brick cottage, simple timber sheds, reestablishing a small self sufficient permaculture garden, and caring for the fruit trees that survived. I have restarted an organic self sufficient style garden and will, over time, use permaculture principles to have interlocking gardens, small animals, and orchard systems. We have a small module house, a beautiful retro caravan, and are working on transforming a storage container into a tiny house. We live by a gorgeous pristine river (The Brodribb), where we swim most days, and are surrounded by old growth forest, in a valley with a small community of like minded people. We have a gentle old dog and are happy to host people with friendly dogs. I like to cook so will provide excellent meals and can accomodate dietary needs.

The Stay
Why I became a WWOOF Host
I was a woofing host back in the 90’s and we had guests visiting all year round. It was a great way to be social in a remote area and it allowed us to establish our permaculture farm. Now, since the Black Summer Fires destroyed everything I am starting again with the help of my son. Again, I would like to enjoy the company of others while working on this magnificent land and enjoy sharing meals and exploring the forests, rivers, and creeks that are around our property.
