We are sisters, Julia and Anastasia Vanderbyl. 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.

Hello Anastasia, Julia and Mother. Thanks for another episode of your productive lives. Anastasia mentioned a big weather-front moving in. I've just received an email from my sister in Sydney, telling me that they had a massive storm on Friday and that there are major floods everywhere. She's cut off where she lives, at Narrabeen, between the beach and the Narrabeen Lagoon. Apparently, it's also affecting parts of QLD, where my other sister lives, on the outskirts of the Gold Coast. From what I saw on the BBC News, here in the UK, it has affected much of Northern NSW, so I hope you are all OK and not too wet, as I remember the previous occasion when you got floods. Stay Safe. Love, Russ xxx.

I really wish that I could manage and navigate that jungle on any given day, an experience I would savor forever.❤ The exotic aromatics alone would send me into eternal bliss. That's one interesting money tree fruit because I love both guava and pineapple. Yummy💋❤ Thank you and Love Always.
