Had the opportunity to chat with the awesome Tony and Linh of Beyond.ourgate on Instagram.

Tony and Linh have been working towards their dream of obtaining and developing a semi-off-grid bush block/homestead property for several years.

Find them on the gram, where Linh has done a great job, chronicling their journey from inner-city dwellers to passionate urban-homesteaders on Perth's outskirts.

A few of the many amazing facets of their block include many raised veggie beds, beehive area and a 100% natural, chlorine-free plunge pool, designed and installed by a Tony of Think green landscapes.

Hope you enjoy and don't forget to subscribe to herb on Apple pods and leave a review.

Stay Herby.
