Camping, Harvesting and Cooking in my Off Grid Cabin in the Rainforest

Camping, Harvesting and Cooking in my Off Grid Cabin in the Rainforest

This magical off grid cabin deep in the rainforest is finally restored! Whenever we're camping in the forest with no power, the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station is the perfect solution 

We are sisters, Julia and Anastasia Vanderbyl. A few years ago, we began a journey to live a life in perfect harmony with nature. A life of caring for animals, growing fruit, planting trees, gardening, cooking, creating, building and learning to live with the land. 

In this time, nature has taught us more than we could have ever imagined.

Our environmental films document the landscape, the lessons we’ve learnt and our work as regenerative farmers here on Bundjalung Country. 

We live on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal People of the Bundjalung Nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country we live on and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters. We thank them for protecting this rainforest and its ecosystems since time immemorial.

Camping, Harvesting and Cooking in my Off Grid Cabin in the Rainforest

This was a pleasure to witness such harmony amongst my favorite family. Watching the spray from the fresh fruit become fragrant mist on a warm beautiful day, will linger in my thoughts indefinitely. Thanks to Maggie and the goats, the short-cut was very cool and time efficient. I loved the interactions with my favorite boy Clover! Breakfast looked very good as well. The highlight for me was all of your family together at the cabin celebrating your hard work and creativity. Anastasia you are the definition of happiness and fortitude, sorry to say but you're also the most beautiful woman on the planet as well. I love you and your family always and forever.❤️
