Restoring My Father’s Abandoned Cabin in the Rainforest

After our dad died this cabin has been left sitting abandoned, deep in the Australian rainforest. It’s been maybe the hardest job of my life, but this week I replaced the floors with hardwood and created a sleeping loft. This is the start of a big project with lots more jobs on the to do list!

A few years ago, we began a journey to live a life in perfect harmony with nature. A life of caring for animals, growing fruit, planting trees, gardening, cooking, creating, building and learning to live with the land. In this time, nature has taught us more than we could have ever imagined. Our environmental films document the landscape, the lessons we’ve learnt and our work as regenerative farmers here on Bundjalung Country. We live on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal People of the Bundjalung Nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country we live on and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters. We thank them for protecting this rainforest and its ecosystems since time immemorial.
