Rolf, your driver and organiser:
I was born in Germany in 1961.  One of my best experiences of living in Europe is the extensive travel I did as a teenager.  We climbed rocks, bushwalked and skiied through some spectacular places, most of the time in a small Kombi van.

After spending a year or two cruising and working in The States, I eventually made it to Australia, falling instantly in love with the place.  With my trusty Trumpy I got to travel quite a bit, keeping busy as a carpenter and mechanic.

I eventually felt the lure of the mountains.  So by '95 I found myself living in the Victorian Alps, skiing every year, biking in the summer, travelling when I could.....

My disposition for travel and adventure made it easy to create Bushaus.

I love anything that keeps me outdoors - bike riding, rock climbing and just being in the mountains, although I've also lived for some time on the coast. The Great Southern ocean of Southern West Australia would have to be a favourite, its a powerful and beautiful place.

My interest in living well extends to food, and on a tour with Bushaus there'll be plenty of gourmet dining, with the availability in Australia of fresh organic produce and our great wines being second to none.
