100 Years Off Grid: My Family’s Life in A Subtropical Banana Valley
In the remote rainforests of Australia there are 100 year old banana farms. My family has lived here for over 60 years, and this week I continue the banana farming practice by planting new orchards and restoring the abandoned tools from the plantation pulleys!

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.
