Our beautiful rural property is nestled in the Mary River Valley in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland of Queensland, Australia, approximately 1.5 hours from Brisbane City; 45 minutes from the beaches of the Sunshine Coast; 30 minutes from the local National Park and 25 minutes from the local town of Maleny.

Some two hundred residents of all ages coming from many cultural backgrounds live on 85 private one acre lots. Two community lots owned by a co-operative of residents contain buildings for community events and for the operation of businesses. Residents are interested in a wide variety of social, cultural, environmental and spiritual activities.

Many homes are built from an interesting array of eco-friendly materials. Mudbrick, pole- frame, rammed–earth, recycled and straw bale dwellings are found on the community. Most homes exhibit the following features: compost toilets, solar passive design and energy saving devices. The land is a sanctuary for wildlife.
