The Experience

Julie and I have a small hobby farm 25kms inland from Murwillumbah. The region is sub tropical. It's a 45 minute drive from Gold Coast airport, just over the Queensland border. We are 900kms north of Sydney. There is a separate guest room in our shed with a queen size bed and en-suite bathroom/shower. We're happy to host friendly, positive travelers, who are willing to do a bit of work around the property and learn from each other.
