| Homeland is a community of diverse people from many backgrounds sharing our beautiful natural surroundings, community resources and engaging in the rewards and challenges of our group's processes.
Situated amid lush subtropical rainforest, national parks and embraced by the crystalline waters of the Bellinger River, the rugged escarpment of the Dorrigo plateau, with its numerous waterfalls and misty, knife-edge ridges, overlooks us in our place of paradise.
Homeland Community was founded in 1977 and exists today for many and various reasons, growing from its philosophical birthplace in New Age ideals and the wonder of the Findhorn Community in Scotland to be moulded by all those who have come here, over the years, to help in the care and stewardship of this land.
