Alone in Nature: Surviving a Cyclone

This tropical cyclone brought destruction of our fruit orchards, flooding and devastation. Life off grid can be challenging and this week we were honestly really scared. After a long week, we are all okay and the goats, ducks, chickens and sheep are safe and happy.

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.
