‘I wash my hair in rain water’ - Inside British mum’s off-grid life
A BRITISH mum-of-one has revealed how she turned her back on life in Manchester to raise her daughter in an eco-dome tent in Australia.
Instead of turning on the taps, Victoria purifies water to wash in and uses solar energy for electricity - all within their 120-acre plot in the wilderness. After her mum Christine passed away when she was just 24, the Manchester Met University graduate said she was spurred on to live her 'life to the fullest', moving three years later to Australia.
Eventually they came across space in the middle of a mountain, three-and-a-half hours away from the city centre and a ten minute drive from the nearest property. With no roaring traffic, aeroplanes overhead or hustle bustle of people, Victoria says the only noises in the outback are from their 'kangaroo neighbours', deer and other wild animals.
It's a useful connection for Victoria, who now works as a social media consultant, advising small business on how to best target their audience.on Apr 6, 2019 at 2:07pm PDT
