There is strange disease that is running through my family. While my parents and their siblings were all born and raised in suburban Sydney, my last city dwelling Aunt and Uncle are on their way to ‘green acres’. They complete mass exodus from the city, encouraged by my parents who are relocating from a mere 1.5 hours away to a severe 6 hours. Even my only surviving Grandfather moved to the country some years back.
Now even before all these examples were there to encourage me, I had a strong desire to ‘make a tree change’. After meeting my partner 5 years ago, it quickly became clear that we shared the same goal, to work some land. We are not interested in trying to make an income from this venture, simply just creating a better life for us while improving the environment.
