We live and farm on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal people of the Bundjalung Nation and these practices of regenerative living, agriculture and permaculture owe their roots and theories to Indigenous knowledge - they have been practiced by Indigenous People around the world for so many years. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country we live on, and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters. We thank them for protecting this rainforest and its ecosystems since time immemorial.

I was crying while watching this. I remember when I was young, we were living in a far place we called it "Barrio "we have lots of pet like ducks, chicken, pigs and so many more. Sorrounded with plenty of veggies. I felt so sorry for myself that time because I want to live in the city. I wanna see buildings, mall but this pandemic made me realize that all are nothing but a peaceful and simple life is more important. Keep going dear, thank u for sharing a piece of your life to us. I loved ur place. I love everything. Watching from Manila Philippines

Yeah I lived in the countryside too But we also had no technology and I think life was simpler and happier with less technology too
I don’t think we’re supposed to understand how Julia is able to create a beautiful piece of art. Rather we appreciate, it’s one of the many things that make us different. Your creative process deals with different materials, etc. but it’s amazing the close you have made. I’m excited for new video from you two, and I’m still impressed. Thank you both for sharing your stories!!
Such talent on display! As a father of two daughters I'd love nothing more to spend my days documenting their awesomeness. It's really inspiring to watch your mother document your lovely lives.

Your choice of songs by the young man is outstanding! The pastels in your home are magnificent! Thank you so much for sharing this paradise.🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful top and beautiful painting. I think it would be really interesting to have a little tour of some of Julia's past paintings & what inspired each one.
You are so blessed that your family has owned this land in Northern NSW for generations. They gave you the gift of being able to move home and live a beautiful life.
i saw your every awesome videos, so wonderful life there ,so natural and simple and lovely family greeting from indonesia🙋 i wish i could joining and enjoying the beautiful nature there

I love this video so much. There is so much beauty and talent and peace in your world. The videos share that with us all. Thank you so much. We need this more than you know.
I truly enjoy watching you two live so independently and in harmony with nature. My wife and I love animals and being outdoors. We would love to live this lifestyle. Stay safe and please keep sharing!
I've never seen animals blend in with people like this. related to the goats, sheep and ducks. I feel like I'm watching a fairy tale. i love it so beautiful. One day I would like to be in a rainforest too. a dream 💚💚🌻🙏🏽
I too am in awe of how people paint like you Julia, and those table clothe clothes fit so extraordinary on you Anastasia. I am most struck by your view on success being measured internally.
You’re both so talented 🥺👌
Your both so gifted with artistic talent, you care for your animals so beautifully it’s lovely to watch each time you post, thank you for giving my a beautiful experience each time , God bless your family xxx
Thank you, absolutely beautiful. I really look forward to my weekly trip to the rain forest. Beautiful lush greenery with the songs of the many birds filling the hills and valleys. I always imagine that I’ve been transported to the earth millions of years ago. Because I know this is exactly what is was like. The peace covers one like a soft blanket and makes me feel content and full. 🙏🏻💕
Wow, that painting was awesome. What an awesome gift to have talent like that.I have a little country block and relate to the peacefulness and solitude .Looks like you two young ladies have a wonderful life. God bless.
There really is no better way to end the day than watching one of your beautiful, peaceful and inspiring videos. Thoroughly enjoyed this one! Such talent and it's so heart warming to see you both relishing in your creativity and living so joyfully and simply. That's all anyone needs in life really :-)

I remember when I was a little boy. My mom had a tredle type sewing machine. She had to paddle her foot all of the time to get the machine to work right.
Anastasia who climbs and swings with such ease whilst amongst the base of the trees. Whom may also seek solace solely higher up in the trees. So as to read or only muse over the view from her perch over looking the river and trees. Even take to battle with the threat of harsh brush in her serene forest full of life and lush greens. Now captured on canvas. (The Wood Nymph At Peace). Beautiful simply beautiful Julia. Love your talents and lively farm.
So inspiring girls. Hope you are having a great Spring so far! I live in Victoria and it's pretty chaotic right now but watching this and turning off the news brought me so much peace. Thank you🙏❤️ Peta x

Both of you sisters are outstanding, each one of you has such special talent. Julia Paints and you can tell a story so wonderful and stoping narrating at the perfect time to show the beauty around you. Two amazing young ladys.
It's great watching you two pretty girls doing what you do best, your skills are awesome. Both of your imaginations are limitless. ❤🌹...❤🌹. From Texas.
I could live like that. It's how things were when I was growing up. So peaceful and everything natural. Hard work and caring for animals. Peace to you both always! 🌸✌️🌸😇
I have had me/cfs since I was 14 years old and this video made me cry. I spent so many years trying to figure out what success will look like for me but recently I have been focusing on simple things like cooking, crochet, embroidery and art. I try every day to accept that I will never fit the societal mold for success and that I am blessed with the opportunity for a different perspective and a chance to slow down. I am so happy to have found your channel. Your videos make me feel understood and supported. Thank you so much for sharing your lives ❤

I’m so sorry you’ve been going through this, I’ve had me/cfs since I was 12 - it sounds like our stories are really similar. Your words all ring so true, it’s such a big journey to accept your own definition of success, but so meaningful! It’s strange that illness can give you this special perspective, of what really matters. Thank you so much for sharing your story! Sending you lots of love, Julia 💛

Well done Mum and Dad for choosing to live such an alternative lifestyle where your two beautiful daughters can flourish .
You are the luckiest people on the planet, not to mention gifted, talented and free. This experience you are living is phenomenal and the envy of everyone watching. Even your animals are kicking themselves living the dream of continuous fresh food and lots of loving. Your videos are a must in every school around the globe showing what life could look like. Love you ladies and mom too.
So talented! Your videos are getting better every time. Love to see you guys doing what you love ❤️
Wow! You can't be much more successful in life than this. This is the end goal for a lot of us. Absolutely priceless
So Enchanting! Not only we get a view of the animals and beautiful land in the morning, we also get Julia's beautiful painting and Anastasia Bright sawing. We also get the picking of fruits and vegetables and the Glorious cooking of Julia and Anastasia's hard work cutting weeds and the the great eating of the fruits of your labor. On top of all that the Great filming of Mother. All Together a Great Work of Art. Thanks!!!

Very beautiful !C'est toujours un délice de voir votre vie épanouie et joyeuse ! Thank you !
That land is breath taking. It must be awesome at dawn and dusk. Morning clouds dancing over the tree tops. That would be a must see.
Yes success comes from within! We have our own paths to take on🥰. You shine more when you are on the correct path💫.
Julia! Are you kidding me! That was so amazing! You could make videos of you just painting like this one and I would watch! And you as well Anastasia! Some of us don't have an artistic bone in our body and are just in awe of what others can do. They would have to come second to MTMF, though. Haha.
I love their videos, such a simple and beautiful way of life. God bless you and may they always reach us for your videos. greetings from Mexico. A hug with love.
Anastasia your sewing skills are amazing! As are Julia’s painting skills. You guys are both so wonderful to watch and are so inspiring. I love watching you sew Anastasia and seeing you smile and laugh makes ma smile as well. I do all kinds of craft type things myself and I have a sewing shop with about 6 sewing machines for different purposes. I do leatherwork and also some upholster work and also made all my own curtains for my house. I love watching your videos because we are so much alike. Keep up the fantastic work!🤗😉❤️😁
I've found your videos so relaxing and beneficial as I recover from having severe M.E. I had no idea until this one that Julia had had it too, so just wanted to say an extra special thanks :-), as someone who has been through something similar.
You both girls are so talented. One is fabric for clothing and the other paintings. You both and your family are blessed of what you all have. Just amazing to see you thrive and be successful on your land. You all are full of love by all your KZread viewers. Lastly your painting is just stunning! WOW! Awesome video. See you guys in the next one. 😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
