We live on the beautiful North West coast of Tasmania with two maremma dogs (big), two curious cats and eight roaming chickens on a lovely acre of land. Our dream is to transform our block into a sanctuary of lush vegetable, herb and fruit gardens with spaces for accommodation, retreat and creative arts. So far it is a bush block and we are just beginning...

At the moment we have a few small construction jobs on - getting ready for winter including adding a couple of windows and doors, digging out the bank for access and drainage and lining a room for Bowen Therapy...

We are working to create more amenable living areas. In the future we plan to build an ecofriendly permanent home on the knoll with views down to Table Cape.

We use organic gardening methods and hope to be certified one day. We are also very interested in permaculture and using many of these techniques and designs- plenty to learn here also though!

There is plenty of work to do including building, watering, pet care, mowing, brush cutting, planting, weeding, clearing, landscaping, woodchopping, setting up a small solar system, etc. We are experimenting with a giant hugelkulture which also needs input. Inside there is cooking, cleaning, sewing, animal care and other work such as making products such as jam and preserves, processing seeds and other creative endeavours. Emma has recently received a gift of sourdough starter and is learning to cohabitate!

Playing music and singing are something we would like to do more of - as well as taking part in the local music scene. Robbie plays guitar and Emma ukulele :) We also like playing games like board games and table tennis.

We often have workaway visitors who contribute hugely to our lives :)
