Educating People to Live Sustainably
Hands-on learning experiences at our hand-built eco home in the heart of the Blue Mountains, Sydney Region.
Why We Do What We Do
At Austraroma, education is at the heart of everything. We believe the most powerful way to inspire change is to let people experience sustainable living first-hand — not just read about it.
Our eco home was hand-built from the ground up starting in 2012, using timbercrete bricks for natural insulation and surrounded by a fully permaculture garden. After five years of sustainable construction, we opened our doors — not as a showpiece, but as a living classroom.
Every workshop, tour, and experience we offer is designed to give you practical knowledge you can take home and apply in your own life. From making your own chemical-free cosmetics to learning the art of fermentation, we teach skills that reduce your footprint and reconnect you with the natural world.
How We Teach Sustainable Living
Learn by Doing
Our workshops are hands-on. You won't just watch — you'll make, build, cook, and create, leaving with real skills and real confidence.
Reduce Chemicals at Home
We show you how to replace everyday household chemicals with natural alternatives using essential oils, fermentation, and plant-based ingredients.
Grow & Preserve Your Own Food
From our permaculture garden to our fermentation workshops, we teach you how to grow, harvest, and preserve food the sustainable way.
Build & Live Differently
Our eco home itself is the lesson — timbercrete walls, passive design, and off-grid thinking show what modern sustainable building really looks like.
