54 acres, 5kms from Maldon. The property is picturesque with panoramic views, large rocky granite outcrops & a swimming hole, but very dry in summer. It adjoins the forest at the foot of Mt Tarrengower.
I am in the process of regenerating large areas back to native bushland, have building projects, including finishing touches to my poured earth house and general farm work.
I have clean accommodation & can adjust meals accordingly. I like showing people the many wonderful sights of the area & I enjoy cultural exchange. Can P/U in Castlemaine & Bendigo with prior notice. Maldon has a very artistic and creative community and I can play and teach the Harp.
I became a WWOOF host in order to be able to continue the environmental work on my property, and also finish building a poured earth house.
I also really enjoy relating to people of other nationalities, and sharing time with, and learning from others from different cultures.
Organic/Biological methods we use
I am not really a farmer, I am conducting bush regeneration project on most of the property so planting native Australian plants. I have planted a few fruit trees, and do have an olive grove.
