Two Years Living Alone in the Wilderness: Our Story of Learning from Nature

We spent our childhood growing up here in the mountains, exploring rainforests, caring for orphaned lambs, planting trees and harvesting fruit.

Living in harmony with the rhythms of nature has taught us so many things. It has taught us to be still and calm, to love, and to give more than we take. It has taught us to to care for the land and each other.

We live and farm on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal People of the Bundjalung Nation and these practices of regenerative living, agriculture and permaculture owe their roots and theories to Indigenous knowledge — they have been practiced by Indigenous People around the world for so many years. 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.

Regenerative farming is the way forward. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of what generations of permaculture can look like. Beautiful.

Hi Julia, Anastasia, and Mom, this is the most beautiful and heart-warming life story, I have ever seen! You talk to your animals as their mother, and they give you so much love back. It's so sad that your Dad isn't here to share the experience, but I'm sure he'll be watching with joy in his heart. The wonderful videos from your childhood, are so beautiful to watch, so many cherished moments, now frozen in time, to enjoy over and over, to remember the times with your Dad. The soft music playing in the background, is so beautiful, and Mom's beautiful photography and editing, to bring it all to us in 24 mins, is truly amazing. It's so sad to lose a pet, and lovely how the sheep rally around because they understand the grief. Thank you for giving me this wonderful experience, and as it's early morning here in the UK, I'm sure I will have some beautiful dreams. My love to you all.💗💑💗

Wow, what a story. Such gorgeous footage of when you were little girls having the time of your lives! There's really nothing more beautiful and peaceful than waking up to the sunrise and loving animals surrounding you🧡🐣

"to be still and calm, to love, and to give more than we take. . . to care for the land and each other" - so lovely - that is what I call God speaking to us through his beautiful world. Such an enjoyable video, as usual; the childhood pictures and videos were nice to see. The baby lambs are adorably precious, & I'm so happy to hear that Bea the duck's feather oil is starting to improve!

I lost my cat this morning. He was 19 years old and had kidney disease. I stayed all night by his side until he gave out his last breath. I was told to put him to sleep three days ago, but I wasn't ready to let him go just yet and wanted to keep him a little longer. Now I regret that decision, as it only made my cat suffer even longer. I was crying all day, thinking about all the things I could've done for him. Watching this video somehow made my heart at ease, and reminded me that I've been blessed for the past 19 years. Thank you, your connection to animals and nature is truly amazing.

Work around a property is always hard animals need looking after, fences gardens and just fixing things, but you truly make it a labour of love ❤️. Take care, cheers from an idyllic part of the world.

I'm speechless. So much beauty in everything about this channel. omg....

[triqpham]

Let’s be honest, if I was to do this with my family, we would all starve to death. Very fortunate to have a farm that has been long established by their grandparents. Thanks for sharing.

[hoani]

Not often a video moves me, well done lady's, it was so good to see you girls with your dad, had to dry a tear from my eye when it was over thanks' again for bringing so much joy to the world and a big salute to your mum much respect job well done.

Loved seeing the videos of when you were young, and the fact that you have listened to the Indigenous people in your area. We are so far away from Native American wisdom and practices in the US it's a tragedy. Animals are the best teachers and if I could have one wish come true, it would be that all people would be kind to them. Young people like you are the hope of the future. Compliments to your mom for raising two wonderful girls, and for the beautiful videos. Your dad and your grandparents must be very proud of you!

As a single dad I wish my two girls a life like this, but didn’t have the money or the Land, this needs more than hard work and money.
Greetings from Germany to everyone stay healthy and fit for enjoy your self 🔥🤗🥳

[stephrobinson]

I'm genuinely so excited to start living like this one day❤️Watching this channel has given me the motivation to start saving up so I can eventually leave the hectic city and buy my own land. I've already collected about 20 fruit trees I want to plant😋It's gonna be hard work but it'll be so worth it!

[trapz]
