Spring Routines: Living Off-Grid in the Australian Wilderness

In the Australian rainforest, our spring routine includes swimming, caring for animals and regenerative farm work. Living off-grid in the wilderness can be hard work, and the dry spring weather also brings the threat of bushfires. So, we clear patches of weeds and work on regenerating up in the wild forest.

We live and farm on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal people of the Bundjalung Nation and these practices of regenerative living, agriculture and permaculture owe their roots and theories to Indigenous knowledge — they have been practiced by Indigenous People around the world for so many years. 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.
