Lives in Luskintyre, Australia
We are lucky to have our 100 acre farm, love living here, with such great rural views and so close to the Hunter Valley wine area. As an Architect, I have always had and an interest in building and have loved the opportunity to create an eco-friendly space for guests to visit. My wife and I will be doing a lap of Australia starting in April 2025 so our daughter in law Chloe who lives on the property will be managing the tent during this time.
