NE108 Judith Collins
Help Needed to rebuild our sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle. BUSH FIRE  destroyed our property. We are 1.3hrs direct rail route south west of Sydney and airports. We have 40 years experience in Self-Sufficiency, Permaculture and Biodynamics. 14 acres of native bushland and 3 dams.
We need help to build new animal pens, to renew vegetable  garden and  help to repair our food forest.  Accom for two friends or a couple in our free standing Tiny House.   It has two single beds, kitchen, table and chairs. Access to toilet, shower and washing machine is nearby.
Due to the bush fire, the government allows us work on our property to contribute towards your Working Visa. See WWOOFs bushfire recovery blog for information and required forms. (Link below)
