Billen Cliffs in Rock Valley

 Feeding the chickens - 'alle' - 'empty', she says.


 A little tractor for a little farmgirl!


 Nahila loves to climb the rock steps... here the guys are building the house in the background - Donny, our wwoof host and Brett, another wwoofer.

Our little climber!

We arrived at Billen Cliffs, a community in Rock Valley, NSW, last Sunday, to the home of Donny, Karen and Joy.  We've really enjoyed our first week here - Ulf has been doing different jobs around the house like brushcutting, thinning the banana trees out, removing a radiator and manifold from an old car; and Emma has been cooking three meals a day for 6 people. They have a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere here, with drumming in the evenings, coffee at the community coffee club on Saturdays, work-days finish at 3 or 4 pm and weekends are free.  We will likely be here for another three weeks before moving north again, hopefully to a wwoof host near to Emma's hometown, Gatton.
