Our virtual home here is a reflection of our real life experiences as we struggle to create a physical home for the family at a special place we have named Eagle Plateau deep in the heart of Borneo !
PermaCulture concepts !
The challenges are real , as are our labour of love ! We have found both frustrations as well as comfort and interesting rewards as we continuously try to improve the place.. fixing roof and water tank leaks, maintaining the Hybrid Power generators , cleaning the solar PhotoVoltaic panels and gardening, struggling to put up our earthships... what else ? Oh yes.. the organic and herbal gardens that needs attending to.
Our fruit trees and our veggie garden.. There simply isn't that much time in a day... But thru it all.. we are learning, sweating and enjoying the rewards of being independant.. away from the grid.. doing our own thing with electronics,photovoltaics, computers and the hobby we love the most... Amateur Radio !!
Fruits, Flowers and herbal plants are our main focus at Eagle Plateau. We love fresh tropical fruits and enjoy planting and seeing them grow to be permanent provider of nutritious vitamins and goodness that we all need. Flowers thrive very well in the cool climate that is found at Eagle Plateau and its always a nice feeling to watch so many colorful flowers that surrounds us. Herbs of course have a definite place in the kitchen as well as for natural herbal remedies.
We love the tranquil places wherever we can find them but we are also intent on creating our own and hopefully you can join us in sharing peace and happiness as you browse thru the pages of this family site.
Please feel free to browse thru our pages and if you have something to share about the self sufficient lifestyle, we would be so happy to hear from you. Peace and happiness to you and your family. :)

For years now,Doris and I have been dreaming of trying to be as independant as we can. Independant, meaning doing as much ourselves as we can. Building our own shelter,running our own water supply, generating our own electric power, growing our own food and of course, planting and maintaining our antenna farms which is connected to our love..
