  1. Hi. My name is Mel . I am building a home based upon the principles of sacred geometry in Eumundi. My friend, Kylee isca student of permaculture and has visited your community and told me how amazing it is. I would like to do a tour focussing on how to build a modern home in sustainable earth friendly manner.

    Is this a type of tour you offer?

    Kind regards Mel
