The Trundle Tree Change Association regrets to inform that there are currently no more $1/week farmhouses available. Bookmark this site and visit again though, as more may become available in the future.

Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in ‘Trundle Tree Change’, which is all about sharing the country town of Trundle with people that are looking for a new experience and to live in a vibrant rural community. The Trundle people would like to entice families of all backgrounds and from all over Australia to live within our community.

Background

‘Rent a farm house’ is a bold community scheme renting vacant farmhouses for $1 a week to attract new families to the district, strengthen the community and save local schools.
As part of the 2010 Strategic Plan for Trundle, community members agreed that to entice people to live in Trundle, for similar reasons to those adopted in other towns around Australia, the Rent a Farmhouse Scheme should be developed.

For more information on Trundle's sporting clubs, events, and activities, visit the My Trundle website.

Who Should Apply?

Anyone who is looking for a tree change and an adventure is most welcome to apply. If successful, you will be living in a rural community, sharing the experiences of a farming area and small country town, and renovating a farm house – all for only $1 per week!

• Are you handy with a paint brush and hammer?
• Have a family who would love to be part of a vibrant and welcoming community?
• Keen to experience rural living?
• Have skills that can be shared with others?

Please complete the application form. Applications for the first round close on Sunday, 12th December 2010.
