Since the Covid pandemic infiltrated NSW in Australia I have been living in the bush. There are very few people here - two to be exact - but I am surrounded by thousands, if not millions of trees. These trees are teeming with life. There are birds of all description, fly’s, bees, ants, spiders, wasps, and last night we heard a koala in one of the trees in the valley. In this valley we also have kangaroo, wallabies, goannas, snakes, wombats, lizards - there has even been a sighting of a quoll.
Our shack, built from recycled material and waste products, is positioned with a view of the sacred mountain. Mount Yengo. This mountain is extremely significant for Australian Aboriginal people, who protected this land for thousands of years. We are trying to continue this tradition and do not farm the land - there are no cows, sheep, goats- just the natural wildlife. We are also 100% off grid and try to touch the land lightly.
No shops, no cars, no people - bliss!
