Description
Welcome to Byron Hinterland paradise!
Hi there,
We live on an amazing 120 acre bush property about 25 minutes from Bryon Bay, 15 mins from Mullumbimby on an intention community with 6 other families in a beautiful valley, Our land is a wildlife reserve with plentiful native animals about. It’s gorgeous here with a pristine creek at the door step , waterfalls and national park just up the road.
I have a big old Queenslander house, which I moved to the land 30 years ago. I currently have beautiful family living upstairs In the house and I am down stairs.
My place is like a little community within the community- but we all have our private space!
I desperately need some HELP having recently moved back to the land from having a year away . I need help with organising, cleaning, decluttering , As well as fixing things and some work around the land.
I am an open, fun mature woman is both a counsellor and artist . I have an arts practice and also work in remote indigenous arts centres in the NT. I am also a mother of a17 yr old that I share-care parenting with in Mullumbimby.
If you are looking for some peace, birdsong and wild nature, this is the place for you! I have various accomodation options, including a lovely caravan camp & an old bus as well. Or if you have yr own van there are plenty of options to park and camp. I am happy to provide food, & plenty of action.
Prefer you to be earthy, mature, open-minded, and comfortable in nature as we on on the edge of a national park. This is an authentic Australian rainforest experience with all its beauty and wildness.
It’s good if you have a car, but we can also organise lifts to town if needed.
I like to be clear and frank with communication so there are no preconceived expectations that I cant meet and as such I will tell you everything as best I can, so you can assess whether my place is right for you. I love it if you are also straight with me as I am a sensitive person, and can always feel it, if someone is not happy. So being on the same page and honest is important to me.
Unlimited Wireless internet available.
If you are interested, please send me an email with your phone number and some of your details & photo if possible. Id like to know your age, smoking, english level, nationality, if you have a car or not, your gender and work skills & experience.
Thanks so much.
Happy travelling.
Jude

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in incredibly beautiful nature which is very pristine. Because we have no cats or dogs here, there is plenty of wild life- walabies everywhere, bandicoots and many others.
If you want a beautiful retreat like place, that is quiet and away from the party scene- my place is for you. Its lush and green and very peaceful.
We are living an alternative to the nuclear family paradym, so you will also experience an alternative lifestyle here as well as having a taste of what it feels like to live on a community .
Help
At the moment I need help with many different projects- there is the usual tidying up around my place and deep cleaning, then if you are skilled there is building projects, painting , paving and plastering to do, I usually wait until we can work out what jobs would suit you best and take it from there.
I need helpers who are mature and have some life experience and skills- my dreams are - building, painting, gardening etc. You must have good english and be able to work independently. If you have your own car that is great. You need to be open-minded, mature, and happy in your own company as I do not have heaps of time to hang out and chat. As we live in nature, you need to be able to cope with the odd spider as we are very close to the forest.
My usual exchange is 4- 5 hours per day for food and accomodation. 10- 12 hours a week if just accomodation. Happy for you to have the weekends off. I need helpers who are grown up and can take care of themselves, cook for themselves and be independant. i do not have a regular routine, so need flexiblilty and an ability to go with the flow. HAving said that, I will try and work in with you as much as possible.
We are happy if you want to stay long term if we get on well. I enjoy having young 'can do' energy around and have fond memories and made many friends from this site & helped lots of travellers get their 2nd working holdiay visa- though unfortunately due to the government changes, I can no longer offer this.

Accommodation
Accomodation is a self contained caravan in a great spot or or funky bus amongst the trees.
What else ...
On your time off you can visit Byron bay, or go to the forest- minyon falls, bush walks or just hang out.
I have good wifi, so you can also keep in touch with all your freinds and family.
There are a few local school bus's that you can take to get places or there are generally rides with other residents from the community going here or there, so rides are possible. However, having your own car is by far the easiest way to get around the hills of Byron bay!
