YOUR HOSTS

Your hosts, Heather Boulden and Jeremy Hemphill, have lived in the Territory for 35+ years. We just love where we live and it gives us pleasure to share our piece of paradise, our 'Eden' with you. If you have queries about your travel plans where local advise may assist, we're happy to help.

We both have a keen interest in the environment and are members of the NT Field Naturalists Club, Friends of Fogg Dam and the Bird Observers Club of Australia. Heather came to the Territory as a bush nurse and relieved with the Aerial Medical Service. She worked throughout the Top End and was given an Aboriginal name and place in the Japu (Yolgnu) clan of East Arnhem Land.

As travelers, we have first hand experience of things that make a difference to the quality of your experience. We offer friendly service and are sensitive to your need for either seclusion, or involvement with us and our life on the farm.

Our dog Carlie, a Mareema, is friendly. She is a protecting breed Italy, accepting wildlife on our property while keeping out dingoes and wild pigs.

Mowgli and Moet are two elderly Burmese cats (brown and champagne torte) who live indoor upstairs.
