ABOUT US...
Welcome to Reverse Homesteading! We have just moved into our unit in the Temperate Gardening Zone of Melbourne, Australia. We were previously @rockytropixgardening in the Far North of Australia. I still add videos on this first channel.

Melbourne is in the Australian Hardiness Zone 10b, (USA 9a/9b) which considers how tough plants need to be in Winter... Melbourne has 4-5 frosts, each Winter. Usually no colder than minus two or three degrees Celsius. We also have dry, hot Summers, sometimes with hot northerly winds coming in from more desert areas. Often there is a thunderstorm or cool change at the end of a day with extreme heat... Melbourne is officially "a Mediterranean Climate".


OUR HISTORY...

In June 2020, my husband and I felt called to a small rural area in Far North Queensland... It was at the other end of Australia to where we were, in Melbourne, Victoria.

Exactly three years after our arrival up north in early 2021 - to the day! We felt we were to move back to Melbourne.

All of the above starts this new journey on Reverse Homesteading, from country with lots of space, back to a small garden in a city of 5.2 million people!

See the start of our next garden-making journey, from late January 2025... Now we have finally moved into our small home in the suburbs!
