We are currently looking for young people, who are interested in an experience, of living of the grid on a remote island. We want to pass on our knowledge of self-sufficiency, ecology and preservation of our unique Island to the next generation. We are still at the infant stage of set up and you would need to be multi skilled, hard working and community minded. There is a process for applying for this role, a skill set requirement and a trial period. Families are welcome to apply. If you are interested in enquiring about this please contact us.
Volunteers are welcome to help us keep up with the various aspects of living on this Island and experience a small taste of what it takes to live here. Self-sufficiency being the aim, means; that gardening, weeding, fencing, wood collection, bee keeping, cooking and cleaning are all necessary jobs. All help is greatly appreciated.

SUPPLIES: Island income and food production, is an ongoing process.
Volunteers who stay and help will be welcomed. We are working toward self sufficiency, and at this stage all visitors are required to bring their own supplies as limited fresh fruit and vegetables are available. There is no general store or supply vessel to replenish your supplies once on the Island so please think ahead about what you need.
The Homestead garden and fruit tree production depends upon seasons, water and people hours available to maintain and increase local food supplies. Our meat is hunted and processed on site. Accommodation arrangements can be made for those who want to extend their stay.
TRANSPORT: Volunteers will have to organise their own transport to the Island;- on a boat travelling north in the winter cruising season from Keppel Bay Marina (near Yeppoon) or south from Mackay Marina or Whitsundays after October . The chances are slim of getting a lift organised to precise dates, so it is only possible for flexible and adventurous people. 
CONTACT: ., email us on percyisland@gmail.com or when travelling on a boat try VHF Channel 73 on the Marine Radio. On arrival please make contact with the Homestead (4.5Km from the Bay).
