On our 5acre rural block in Clear Mountain, we are surrounded by birdsong, wallabies, koalas, and a host of smaller bush critters. Our place is a peaceful blend of bushland and creative space. While not a full-scale farm, we have a small pineapple patch, a few avocado trees, and 500 Silver-Perch fingerlings growing in our dam.
Our main environmental focus is native bush management—preserving the natural flora and fauna, particularly for our local koalas. Alongside this, the property includes a working art studio and gallery space.
Honestly? I’d rather be flinging paint in the studio than wrestling lantana in the bush. Hosting WWOOFers gives me a chance to share this beautiful slice of koala country and spend a bit more time with a brush in hand instead of a rake. It’s a great way to meet interesting people, exchange skills, and keep the bushland (and the studio) thriving.
Organic/Biological methods we use
Our primary focus is on native bush regeneration, not traditional farming. We manage invasive species—especially lantana—without herbicides. All work is done manually using simple, effective methods that protect both the bush and the wildlife. We hand-pull lantana, hang the roots in trees to dry out (so they don’t reshoot), and break the branches into smaller chunks that are left on-site to mulch and compost naturally. This approach restores light and space for native species to return, especially in koala corridors.
