On Monday 4 May 20266 we celebrated 30 years of the house being off-grid with Bob Carr, who launched the house in 1996 when he was Premier of NSW, and a few neighbours and others who shared the journey - thank you all, thank you Earth.
Emergency Water for Wildlife
“Heatwaves and drought are threatening the survival of wildlife at Broken Hill's Imperial Lakes Nature Park. Water is disappearing fast as summer temperatures soar. Very soon, the lakes will be dry, and animals that depend on this critical water will perish. The purchase of water is desperately needed now to save the wildlife.“

In 2020, we decided to leave our corporate careers and live on the land full time. For this we needed to build a residence. We wanted to build a sustainable house that integrates with and respects the habitat we had built over the last decade. We decided to build with natural materials like earth, lime and stone.
