Hello, I’m Fay Helwig of Das Helwig Haus B&B near Stanthorpe on the Granite Belt.  I grew up on a cattle property and later lived on different farms in varied climates where I always established a garden.
 
I now live in a cool mountain district famous for being the coldest region of Queensland. Due to the cool climate the area is recognised for its high altitude wines and apple orchards. A district attraction is the Girraween National Park famous for granite mountains and Australian wildflowers.
 
I have combined all these features Wildflowers, Wilderness and Wine as my title for a book about my lifestyle.
 
My aim with this blog is to share with you the fun of tourism festivals, the joy of growing a huge and productive garden and the self-sufficiency skills I can teach you.  My blog will include photographs, recipes and anecdotes concerning the training of young WWOOFERs – willing workers on organic farms.
 
 Das Helwig Haus B&B was named the best Bed and Breakfast in Queensland by the journalists of the Sunday Mail. The Remembrance Field of Flanders Poppies was featured on Burke’s Backyard and the German Christmas feasts are shown on SBS Food Lovers Guide to Australia.
