Welcome to Wanungara... The settlement and rehabilitation of a small piece of this beautiful planet, in a natural and eco-friendly manner. Located in the Tweed Valley of Northern New South Wales, Australia and as such I would like to respectfully acknowledge the Nganduwal people of the Bundjalung nation who are the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we sit.

Next Project Started!
The foundations have been dug and filled with concrete for our chookhouse which we have named after Hugh Fearnley whittingstall's 'CHICKENOPOLIS'.
This will be our test for the building of the main house in Pise (or rammed earth) and will incorporate 4 vegegardens which we can rotate and allow the chooks to scratch around in at the same time.
more later! cheers!!

Twelve Steps To Plan
And another project is finished.
The weather is now cooler and the humidity has mercifully dropped from the summer stinker we had this season. Working outside all day is a easy and a pleasure, but a nice soaking bath at the end would be the best ending to the day, which is another project for the future. We will remove the shower cubicle in the 'cottage' and relocate it to the guest room ensuite and install a huge bath in it's place. Mmmm Heaven!
.
The stairs that were going to be thrown out at work were salvaged and brought home and are now in place. A bit of hard yakka with a pick and shovel, a few boards & blocks and a couple of loads from the cement mixer and (taadaa!) we have fantastic new steps down from the lawn to the orchard.
.
This will make it a lot easier (and quicker) for us to get to the orchard as we no longer have to walk to the end of the embankment or walk up and down the bank helping to erode it.
you have got to love recycling, salvaging and reinvention!
