Calming Swim with my Duck, Harvesting Tropical Fruit and Making Jewelry

Listen to the calming sounds of the rainforest stream as a swim with my pet duck, harvest abundant mangoes and go about daily life on a tropical homestead. We cook oyster shells on the fire to make shell grit for the chickens, harvest basil and garlic from the kitchen garden and cook pesto pasta and we create silver jewelry from clay!

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.
