自我介绍

Seeking a sea change, I moved with my wife and daughter from Perth, to the area in 1997 to sell Real Estate in the lovely fishing village of Jurien Bay. But in the back of my mind was the desire to eventually have a tree change. So after discovering this 308 ha of mostly bush paradise, we purchased and moved onto the farm in 2000. I now run an agroforestry enterprise of Maritime pine, Australian native Sandalwood, Broom bush and grow various types of eucalypts for shelter belts and firewood. The farmstay chalet was created initially for volunteers from all over the world to live in under the Willing Workers on Organic Farms (WWOOF) program, while assisting us with the work around the farm. In 2007 a group of like minded carers in the district formed a not for profit wildlife charity known as Loveland For Wildlife Inc., to look after sick, injured and orphaned Australian wildlife. Our farm/sanctuary has been the release site for those mostly kangaroo's ever since. This means that guests can get up close and personal with the kangaroos for a truly fantastic Aussie experience. Since my divorce in 2021 , I now love to travel, and look for gold nuggets with a metal detector as a hobby, when I get a chance. When I am not travelling, I enjoy talking to other traveler's (around our camp fire at night, when in season), so I can plan future trips to any new and exciting destinations. FOOTNOTE: Since Covid, I will be maintaining minimal contact with guests during their stay.
