We live on a beautifully regenerated 40-acre bushland property, with small hills, two dams, and a spring-fed creek running through it.
We are completely off-grid, relying on solar power and rainwater for our daily needs. Our vegetable garden is irrigated with water pumped from one of the dams.My husband is a film director, and I am a visual artist as well as a language teacher. We share our home with Woofa, our beautiful, gentle, and well-trained four-year-old blue Collie.
Both of us are vegetarians, and we are working to grow as many leafy greens as possible.
There are two separate studios on the property, each furnished with a wood fireplace, offering comfortable and private accommodation for guests away from the main house.
The chores around the property – gardening, growing vegetables, getting firewoods for winter, cleaning leaves off gutters, taking Woofa for walks when we are busy – have become slightly demanding as we are now getting older, and without children or families around us. We really hope to get some help with the physical demands of these works.
We both are world travellers and have lived in Asia for many years before making here our permanent home. We are intetested in cultures and languages. We would love to share how we love living in the Australian bush.
Organic/Biological methods we use
Permiculture, home gardening. We recycle and compose as much as we can.
