Our Philosophy
At Wangat we encourage all groups to get out and experience nature first hand - our forest, our rivers and streams, our wildlife. In the way Wangat has been set up, in the way we run it, and in the conduct of our own lives we seek to set an example of living lightly on, and in harmony with, the planet. Mudbrick buildings. Use of solar energy and wind power. Recycling, re-using and composting. Low consumption lights, shower heads, vehicles, appliances. All on the Wangat Wildlife Refuge. We offer no TV's, videos, air-conditioning, spa baths...
Wangat seeks to be simple, down-to-earth, warmly welcoming. In lots of ways Wangat is the way things used to be. And ought to be. It's peaceful. It's simple. It's convivial. It's a wonderful place to live, to work, to share.
Who We Are
KEN RUBELI has worked as a forester, a teacher, and in National Parks and nature conservation. Immediately before coming to Wangat he spent eight years as a freelance writer and nature photographer, promoting a wider appreciation of nature and wilderness. He has a detailed knowledge of the Australian bush, a strong personal commitment to environmental protection, and a contagious enthusiasm for nature! It is Ken who devises and leads most activities in Wangat's LightFoot Rainforest Awareness Programs.
