I had a wonderful time at the Eco village in the eco village. Rosemary and Rafaele were very welcoming, and then town was so friendly. There are many things to do on site like go to the local coffee cart, hike around the bush, the eco village parties, the eco village craft nights and more! Overall I would recommend staying in the eco village if you like the wilderness and just want to immures yourself in the Outback! The train station is about a 15 minute walk from the village so it makes getting around super easy! Thank you again Rafaele, Rosemary, Donna for being so kind to me!

I had a really good experience at the eco village where l went twice so far. I learnt a lot about gardening and the eco village reality. My hosts, Rafaele and Rosemary made sure l was always ok with my meals and the staying in the camping area and they were always keen to reply to my questions. It was also really nice to connect with other travellers and people from the village and join events and activities. Definitely a worthy experience!

I learned a lot from Rosemary and Rafael. Their way of communicating was a bit stilted and awkward but I got the lessons I needed. The time I got sick they made sure I was able to recuperate before I went back to weeding.

Graves contributed a great deal to the ecovillage with his hard work and also his practical carpentry skills. It was interesting hearing about his work in the movie industry.
We enjoy communicating with all our volunteers and value the exchange with people from different cultures and backgrounds.

I had a great time with rosemary and rafaele! Thank you for hosting me and giving me the chance to learn more about gardening! I took a lot out of our conversations during lunch and dinners! ;) The Village is a nice place to connect with other people and surrounded by a beautiful forest and a damm!

Victoria was a fantastic helper and friend. We totally enjoyed having her with us for a month. She joined all our projects with a passion- tending the garden, cooking for parties and events, helping out wherever she could.
We knew we would miss her when she left--- and we do!

The eco village was a beautiful experience where I lived in a tent surrounded by nature, sharing daily life with kind and inspiring woofers from around the world. I learned a lot about permaculture and sustainability thanks to Rosemary and Rafaele, who were also very caring when I got sick. I recommend this experience for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and learn in a the eco village setting. That said, I recommend being clear about your needs from the start. For trans individuals, just be aware that some conversations might feel a bit challenging in this environment.

Clara was a great worker and contributor- hardworking, generous and considerate.
It’s true that as feminists, we believe women should have the full range of gender expressions open to us – without the need to become male. And the same for men.
We are also concerned about the dangerous and irreversible medical procedures that trans people undertake.
But our primary concern is the liberation of all women on issues such as equal pay, access to education and freedom from violence.

From the beginning of my arrival, I was welcomed by the kindness and warmth of my host, the friendliness and the hospitality made me feel right at home.

Eric was an absolutely delightful visitor, not just for us but the whole village.
He brought such enthusiasm and passion to all his work, making a huge difference to the productivity of our community garden. He also helped several other villagers with their gardens and other tasks and was truly loved by all.
We look forward to him visiting again.

I stayed with Rosemary and Rafaele and sadly and surprisingly they were outwardly transphobic towards me. They apologized after I said I was leaving but still was a very uncomfortable experience especially with the power dynamic between a host and a volunteer. I was supposed to be there for 3 weeks but left after 2 days. the eco village itself is great; the events are really cool, it's easy to meet people, and the nature is great.
