What’s a piece of technology you’re convinced will exist in 20 years?

I think we’ll have glasses that instantly translate languages, identify plants and wildlife, and guide us through nature. But I’ll still choose a campfire, fresh air, and a sky full of stars at Feather & Fern. 🌿🏕️

What’s a book you think deserves a sequel?

The Secret Garden 🌿. Nature always has another story to tell, and I’d love to know what happened after the garden came back to life. What’s a book you think deserves a sequel? 📚🍃”

What’s a time you followed your gut and it turned out to be exactly right?

Sometimes life asks more of us than we ever think we can give.

My last home was meant to be my forever place. It was where I poured my heart into caring for my rescued birds and animals. They weren’t just pets—they were my family. Every one of them had a story, a personality, and a place in my heart.

Instead of enjoying the peaceful life I had dreamed of, I found myself constantly battling council complaints and endless pressure about my birds. It felt like every step forward was met with another obstacle. I spent countless hours fighting for the animals I loved, trying to prove that all I wanted was to give them a safe, happy home.

There were days I wanted to give up.

But I didn’t.

I kept believing there had to be somewhere we truly belonged.

That journey led me to Feather & Fern.

Today, I wake to birdsong instead of worry. The gum trees sway in the breeze, kangaroos visit, the stars shine brightly each night, and my birds can live happily in the peaceful surroundings they deserve.

Every challenge, every tear, every setback brought me here.

Feather & Fern isn’t just a camping property.

It’s a place built on resilience, hope, healing, and second chances.

If you’ve ever been knocked down, keep believing. Sometimes the hardest roads lead to the most beautiful destinations.

I fought. I never gave up. And now… I’m finally home. Welcome to my little piece of paradise. 🌿🦜💚

I’m most inspired by people who use their creativity to express their inner beauty. Whether through art, music, writing, gardening, or simply the way they live, they share a piece of their soul with the world. Creativity has a way of turning life’s challenges into something meaningful, beautiful, and inspiring. It reminds us that true beauty comes from within and shines brightest when we have the courage to express who we really are.” 🌿✨Who are you most inspired by?

Many people think happiness comes from what you have. I believe true happiness comes from peace, gratitude, nature, and sharing life’s journey with those who matter most

A common misconception is that happiness comes from having more money, more possessions, or a perfect life.

For me, happiness is much simpler.

It’s watching the sunrise over the dam, listening to the birds sing, growing food from the earth, caring for animals, sharing a laugh with loved ones, and finding peace in nature.

True happiness isn’t something we find someday—it’s something we create by appreciating the little moments every day. 💚

What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?

The luxury I can’t live without is peace — a quiet morning, birds singing, and nature all around me.” 🌿🦜✨
