I have 8 acres with a creek with a resident platypus. Extensive dry stonework, gypsy caravan, berry bushes, pepper berry trees, chickens. The property is a 12 minutes drive from Launceston. I hold a small music festival in March. WWOOFers with musical experience is handy.
I’ve always known about WWOOF so finally decided to join after meeting some backpackers from WA who ended up staying here for 6 weeks. It was great to have the company and the final nudge to encourage me to join and look forward to meeting like minded people.
Organic/Biological methods we use
The soil is clay and gravel so I make charcoal and dig it into the soil to improve the soil quality. I don’t use any chemicals and try to be sustainable.

Courses & Events
I have small music venue with various events.
Stone Phoenix music festival March.
Halloween costume party October.
Rasta Christmas Party January.
I would like WOOFers to help on these events plus other tasks around the ‘farm’.
Skills I know and can teach are how to do wood shingles and shakes, and process clay from the earth, if WWOOFers create something they would like to fire I also have a Kiln.
