I’ve come up for air at our wonderful new property, our project in Far North Queensland, to share some inspiration and pictures with you.

You may have seen my earlier journey posts? If not, you can see them here: Part1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.

Glenn and I had set off in our motorhome, affectionately known as β€˜Alena Star Bus’, with our kitties Chloe and Ruby for a trip through central Australia and up the East Coast.

 

Our RV trip was random, amazing, perfect – so much freedom. We shared a life together, I workedΒ  all the way, even in the wee hours of the morn whilst Glenn slept. Thank goodness for directional microphones! Somehow we did it, in a 7-metre-long motor home for 6 months.

We were just travelling and had no idea what we were going to find, or where we were going to end up. Until we discovered Cape Tribulation and this property.

We moved to Cape Tribulation in the middle of November and its crazy to think what we have achieved in only 3 months of living here, as you will see!

 

Upon arriving at Cape Trib, Glenn and I had no furniture apart from a mattress for the floor, a refrigerator and some office equipment. There was tons to do, namely a house to freshly paint and a restaurant to renovate and get open.

The first 6 weeks was hard, hard, hard yakka. Working day and night was tough, especially with waking up at early hours of the morning, as I do, for my on-line events. Australia is in such a funky time zone in relation to the USA and Europe.

Yet we were excited to be here. Personally, I feel like Cape Trib is one of the most beautiful destinations I had ever visited. It’s famous for the Great Barrier Reef, which is spectacular here, and has the oldest rainforest on earth.

Here in the Daintree, we are incredibly remote, but this is a famous tourist destination, which booms all year around except for the wet season from January to March.

For so many reasons this property ticked many boxes for us.

The jungle and rainforest are majestic, powerful, palpable. The beachfront in stunning – it has white, firm sand that is great for walking, framed by the rainforest mountains and large coconut palms.

I now have time to walk the jungle and beach most mornings, rain or not, because it’s so warm.

Usually, I have the whole beach to myself. I love this.

 

Nature is my temple; I feel so close to Source here. It’s an incredible experience to walk the beach doing Quanta Freedom Healing, letting go of tension, dense energy or any emerging negative emotions from my body. Then bringing in and filling that space with the Brilliant Source Light that exists in this place.

Since being here in this energy, the acceleration of the downloads, guidance, inner peace and intuition I have received is incredible. I feel like I am writing and hosting the best work of my life. I know I am living in β€˜heaven’ to achieve this. I feel the healthiest and clearest I have my entire life.

The only downside is that you can’t swim in the ocean because of crocodiles. The locals swim in water holes and creeks – fresh, cooler water from the mountain, and crocodile free! It really is a treat to do so.

Many of the locals have beautiful charming wooden houses that are almost like tree houses and are β€˜open’ for ventilation reasons. They can be frequented by all sorts of insects and critters including rats and even large pythons. The locals don’t mind at all.

This house belongs to Owen, a fabulous friend that we have made. It’s stunning and backs onto a creek, with the mountains framing the property.

 

I am very spoilt with our house. It is contained, the air conditioner runs because of the generator, and Chloe and Ruby – when not sleeping – are on patrol mopping up the bugs, skinks and any other beetles that come in. Most of the time you don’t see any because they are so good at this. In theory smaller snakes could make it inside, but we haven’t had to deal with that yet.

 

I’m now in the process of furnishing and decorating the house. I adore interior design and I love the way the freshly painted, vivid white walls have turned out and how the house now has a β€˜retreat’ feel.

It’s a challenge buying things because the closest decent stores are a 5-hour round trip away, and getting furniture delivered is difficult and expensive.

Nevertheless, it was achieved. We’ve come a long way from that first month of only a mattress on the floor, a refrigerator and some of my office furniture!

Still left to work on are 2 bedrooms, the kitchen, which I’m in the process of remodelling, and the bathroom – which is going to be a much more long-term process.

Here are some pictures of progress so far. You can see from the β€˜before’ photo that several rooms were teal. These now are all vivid white, it opens up the space so much more.

 

Then there is the restaurant. Glenn is a chef and is running the restaurant, cooking amazing dishes, providing stunning service and doing an all-round amazing job. He’s getting 5-star reviews on Trip Advisor regularly and I’m SO proud of what he is achieving! The name of the restaurant is β€˜Whet’ and it’s a famous bar and restaurant in Cape Tribulation.

Before coming to Cape Trib, we decided to renovate the restaurant. I’m thrilled with what Glenn and I achieved, making this transformation happen with our own hands, and going with some really creative ideas that I had never tried before in decorating!

Take a look at the before and after photos:

 

The 2.5 acre property is off grid. Presently in Cape Trib there are no services. There aren’t any traffic lights or street lights. So our property is run by generator. It has an underground bore and the water is clean and pure. So is the air here.

Our property was known many years ago, as β€˜the fruit orchard’ and there are tropical fruit trees on the property – many that we are only just discovering. There are fruits that we have never seen or eaten before and we have our own endless supply of coconuts. You just need someone crazy enough to go up a massively tall tree to get them!

 

The challenges have been getting used to the humidity, the remoteness of living off grid, being in a very small community and also the sadness of leaving behind family and friends in Melbourne.

Plus, as we were to discover, when the rain is torrential the ferry can be closed, meaning that you can’t access the mainland, or could get stranded on the mainland without being able to cross the river to get home – the 35km windy road trip.

Another part of the challenge has been issues with the generator, sewerage system and other aspects of the property. Glenn is really handy and determined, and I am also not one to ever give up, but we had our moments in the wet with torrential rain, trying to deal with mould and damp, and get our vehicles and stuff out of the weather. We thought β€œWhat on earth have we done coming here?”

Now we love it! We are settling in, getting things done, and excited about the future.

It’s still the wet season, but we are triumphing. We picked the hardest of times to come here – and in many ways I think that I the best way to go: get thrown in at the deep end and DEAL!

We are now currently building garden beds, to grow produce to use in the restaurant and also to create organic meals when I open up the conference centre above the restaurant for Quanta Freedom Healing Training – next on the renovation list.

We have lots of plans, lots to do, and we are Thriving! I’d love to share the next update a few more months down the line.

For me personally – after experiencing abuse and being told medically I could never recover – being able to heal, live life on my own terms, engage in my true mission in life, find Glenn, and now be developing my dream property… it’s phenomenal.

There is not a day that I am not grateful for God / Source / Creator granting me the answers to heal for real, even though I had been told it was medically impossible. I was also told I would β€˜never be the same again’. They were right – I’m not!

Until Quantum Healing, I did not even know my β€˜self’ who was buried underneath all that pain, fear and heartbreak.

Please know that no matter your age, or what has happened to you, you deserve freedom from trauma and toxic people too.

As such, I’d love to help you get to this side: to freedom from the hurt as well. Please join me in my upcoming Live, on-line β€˜Freedom From Relationship Trauma and Toxic People’ workshop, where you will gain answers, relief and a powerful healing.

I know this event has the potential to change and maybe even save your life, so I urge you to click here to find out more

Thank you for reading this far and sharing in my life. As always, I look forward to answering your comments and questions below!

  5. So exciting to read this; I discovered Quantum Healing in November, and have been using it all the time with amazing results. I am so very grateful for finding my way to you. I was then in Queensland in December for the first time (from U.K.) and fell in love with it. Your journey sounds absolutely wonderful, and I really look forward to hearing about the development of the conference centre.

  7. Amazing and thanks for the update as this journey inspires us all! My son did a semester abroad near Cairns and other than avoiding the ‘critters’ that bite had an amazing time. He sent me pics of crocodile and snake crossing signs from campus…..
    Much love and see you in the upcoming workshop.

  11. Thank you Mel for the update on your extraordinary adventure! Living in the tropics surely has its challenges, but the Melanie and Glenn team can tackle it all. I look forward to seeing your future location and enjoying the organic food and training in QFH. I sense you’re surrounded with beautiful Aboriginal ancestor spirits guiding and protecting. Amazing Mel, simply amazing😍Lynn

  14. Dear Mel,
    Love reading about your journey πŸ’•
    Keep inspiring us by sharing your joy, challenges , internal and external progress πŸ™πŸŒž

  15. Would you ever consider hosting a retreat there?? Sounds fabulous and I’m so excited for you and you’re status as a role model for all of us still battling through the β€œaftermath” of decades for some, less or more for others, if this horrific experience with a narc.

  16. You look younger every day since Part 1 was posted! You must be reverse aging. You look half your age holding the tropical fruit!

  17. Thank you Mel for sharing your journey and tribulations at the Cape! I have been stuck at module 5. Can’t sit still for module 6. My former partner and I were in the process of buying a farm on the south coast of Western Australia when the final abandonment came. Your story has given me hope that I can have this dream with someone else one day. Onwards with module 6 today!

  18. It’s Amazing Mel!!!
    As all the comments above have made Testament to. It really is. Gosh, it is hard to find words but it speaks for itself, how you set off for a tour in the Campervan and found your dream place and Look at it now. So it speaks for itself and everything you do and speak about You Live. And through this, especially now in these times again you have reminded us to keep growing through everything especially with everything that is going on. This has been one of the most important things you have taught us of late, with the 5D Ascension, and definitely things have been coming up. So again, words don’t do justice, but – Thank You!
    Love
    Kondwani

  19. Dear Mel, I am so thrilled for you! Congratulations and take ten bows for your faith and fortitude. πŸ™‚ I discovered you about 7 years ago when my I thought my heart and world had burned to the ground and I might not ever make it out (as you know). Now, I am a happy camper with who I am and the life I get to create. I’ve also recently moved into a new “nest” that I feel blessed by. Even more importantly, I feel more “home” in my soul joy sovereignty than ever. Seeing your adventure unfold, your happiness with a new beloved and Thriver community dreams emerging delight me and encourage me to continue to lean into trust. My inner guidance often says things like, “you have no idea how amazing life can be.” What a wild ride that our higher souls chose… including the “angels in disguise”…ultimately for the joyful missions of liberating the power of Real LOVE in many more human hearts. Thank you for never giving up on you and all of us and saying YES to your calling. I wish you so much joy, prosperous flow and more fun new furnishings and great dinners to enjoy. πŸ™‚

    1. Hi Marian,

      Yaya for you – well DONE!!!

      Oh yes wild ride indeed … and AMAZING!

      I adore your post … and spirit!

      Thank you for spreading your beautiful Light here on our amazing community blog!

      Mel πŸ™πŸ’žπŸ¦‹

  20. Mel dear lady, I am so proud of you both! I can feel into the energy of your new home such a powerful location can’t beat the nature for healing. After living a different previous life full of abuse you really appreciate 1000 times more when you actually make it in life and fulfill your dreams. From experience try and find yourself a back up generator even just a small one cos they are a pain with breaking down!
    Love to you 🌺

    1. Thank you Ameena,

      Nature is the BEST!

      We do have two gennies on the property – oh yes sooo needed!

      And a smaller third one – its all GO here!

      Much Love to you!

      Mel πŸ™πŸ’žπŸ¦‹

  21. Dear Melanie, I came into contact with your work when I was going through my divorce and finding out what had happens to me in my marriage. Watching your videos and reading your blogs I realized I had been in a narcissistic marriage. What a eye opener and my healing journey began. I started using the quantum healing modules and started healing!! I can’t thank you enough and I am so happy for you and seeing you are in your special place and realizing that hurdles are part of the journey. Enjoy your new life and thanks again xxx

  22. Dear Melanie!

      It’s astounding what we have achieved and what we will continue to.

      It really is possible for all of us – with Source ALL things are possible!

      Mel πŸ™πŸ’žπŸ¦‹

  25. I remember when I first discovered you on YouTube, years ago, how I said you were an Earth Angel. You were, and are, just the most loving, gentle, tough, honest human being I had crossed techno-media paths with :). I’m so, so, proud of you. That’s what I feel – overwhelming pride in your journey and achievements. You crossed the river and then helped others to cross it. You pulled me across. So, so, happy for your new life. Just wonderful πŸ™‚ Dominique xx

  26. Hi Mel,
    I love hearing about your adventures!!! It looks Amazing already!! I will be one of the first to sign up for your training!
    Thank you for what you do.
    Blessings to you and your team!

  27. Melanie,
    You saved my life back in March 2020 when I first found you and Quanta Freedom Healing and NARP! Still do not know what I would have done if I had not come across your name and website!!!
    You forever continue to inspire, motivate and draw me to my true Soul’s calling…You are a Beacon of Light for me and to this World!

    Blessings to you and Glenn and your expanding journey!!!πŸ˜˜πŸ˜˜πŸ™πŸΌβ€οΈ

  28. This is such awesome news and your energy radiates from the page. Love the pictures and congratulations! Your inspiration and the way you always lead by example has challenged me, since first starting to watch your youtube videos over 10 years ago, to truly believe that I can release the bonds and choose my life by co-creation with source. Thank you is not a strong enough sentiment. You have inspired a global movement and everyone I have ever suggested to watch your material and become involved in your community has been helped and changed. Keep doin’ it!
