Hi All! We have a beautiful rainforest property halfway between Lismore and Mullumbimby in New South Wales.

The property has a number of creeks, waterfalls, chicken coup, a plethora of native trees, 5 acres of rainforest, outdoor cinema, pool table, heaps and heaps of wildlife and more!

We can't be there permanently for the next year or two so we are seeking a permaculture caretaker to:

- Continue developing the food forest (in its' 2nd year with 100 fruit trees going well)

- Develop kitchen garden and maintain veggie beds.

- Mow lawns, brush-cut, weed flower beds, etc

- Clean guest house, change sheets, sweep and mop, welcome guests, etc (1 - 2 times per month)

You will get your own beautiful studio in the forest with attached bathroom to be built in the next few months (you will assist in the building)

The right person will work 4 hours a day (Monday - Saturday) on the above tasks in exchange for rent and utilities.

You must be able to demonstrate your permaculture skills, be highly motivated and happy to spend time in a quite, secluded location (quite possibly by yourself for weeks at a time).

PM me to chat about the possibilities!

Hi Justin,
I'm wondering if perhaps your post from 2017 might still be relevant?
My partner and I are experienced in permaculture, tourism management, carpentry, property maintenance and house sitting - to name just a few applicable skills.
When in Australia we are based in Sawtell on the Mid North Coast, not too far from your location so we know your climate.
Currently we are in El Salvador managing a permaculture property and AirBnB business but are looking to return to Australia soon. We have also recently completed a placement managing an off-grid wilderness lodge in Canada, also involving food production, guest services and property maintenance.
We have a passion for sustainable and simple living and your property seems like the ideal place to experience and share our passion.
We would love to discuss any opportunities you may have at your property.
