Hi, I'm Joy

Joy had a career as a community health nurse and Jeff has worked in several jobs inlcluding as an electrician. Both are practical people who like to 'think outside the square' enjoying the challenge of finding a solution to problems. Both love recycling stuff. Timbarra was Joy's childhood home while Jeff was a city boy. Both love living in East Gippsland and spent many happy days camping at Timbarra before biting the bullet and building this lovely Straw Bale house. It was an adventure as they explored how to build in straw and then got busy and at times very, very dirty making their dream a reality. After camping in a shed and old caravan for several years on weekends, longer periods for Jeff, it was super exciting to finally be able to say 'We are finished"!
