Adventure and sustainability collided in the life of Jon Muir, one of Australia's greatest living adventurers, leading him from his incredible, self-sufficient expeditions to a sustainable lifestyle in rural Victoria and a new World Expeditions' farmstay experience offers a unique opportunity to share his unique, "off the grid" lifestyle.
World Expeditions has launched a new five day 'Off the Grid' Farmstay Experience at the home of Jon and his wife, Suzy, near Victoria's beautiful Grampians National Park.
The "off-the-grid" farmstay is a chance to learn about organic farming and sustainable living, through hands-on workshops run by Jon and Suzy, which will cover recycling, aquaculture systems, organic food growing and energy harvesting techniques.
The trips are timed to coincide with Kooyan, the local indigenous word for the March harvest, and Petyan, the November harvest, offering plenty of opportunities to harvest, produce, prepare and share organic food from Jon and Suzy's garden.
There'll also be plenty of opportunities to hear some of Jon's legendary stories about his adventures across the globe, from becoming the first man to walk unsupported across Australia to his expeditions to the highest point on earth as well as the North and South Poles.
The 5 day "Off the Grid" with Jon and Suzy Muir departs 16 March and 2 November 2019 and costs $2,390 per person, including all meals and four nights camping/rustic accommodation.
To celebrate the launch of the farmstay experiences, World Expeditions is presenting a national speaking tour: 'Off the Grid: A Night with Jon Muir' will be held on Wed 7 Nov in Sydney; Thu 8 Nov in Brisbane; Mon 12 Nov in Melbourne and on Tuesday, 13 Nov in Perth. Tickets are $25 per person. Book now at https://worldexpeditions.com/Info-nights-events
