Elysian Falls Art Park

04/07/2025

I’ve been plugging away making more disco birdhouse lanterns for my sculpture paths. I purposely don’t think of just how many I’m going to need to make in the end. I make them as the inspiration hits me in between work, weather, family, and other projects. As with everything, it’s one step after the other… until I know it’s enough and it’s done. They all have such different vibes, but really liking this arched one. It looks lovely with the fairy light glow at night too :)

I’m in absolute awe of the time and dedication involved to craft this beautiful rainbow! 100km of yarn! WOW 🤩

Textile artist Gabriel Dawe transforms space with light and color in this breathtaking installation made from nearly 100 kilometers of yarn. A radiant rainbow that feels both delicate and expansive, it completely redefines how we experience thread and atmosphere. ❤️

Because in times of transformation, it will be the artists, poets, and creatives that will forge a new way…

Today’s article on the dome in the Sunday Mail :)

LAST CHANCE TO STAY IN CATH’S WORLD-FIRST AIRCRETE DOME – AVAILABLE ONLY UNTIL END APRIL!

After an incredible year of sharing this unique space, I’ve made the difficult decision to close the dome as an Airbnb from May 1st. Financial challenges have made it unsustainable, and it’s time for a new chapter.

I truly appreciate everyone who has visited and left such wonderful reviews. While I may revisit hosting in the future, now is your last chance to experience the dome before April ends!

This change also allows me to support my elderly parents and focus on transforming Elysian Falls into the Art Park I’ve envisioned for 20 years.

Thank you for your support—book your stay while you still can!

I must like leaning on arches 😉 but I reckon 3years of dedicated ‘one boot after the other’, and a healthy dose of blood, sweat and tears is a little deserving of taking a load off some weary bones and smelling the roses.

My world first council approved aircrete dome is open to accommodation bookings exclusively through the Airbnb platform and was winner of their OMGfund international competition supporting unique and sustainable builds in 2022.

Nestled in 8 acres of lush rainforest in the sunshine coast hinterland, with a private creek and waterfalls… it’s your perfect escape from the rat race. Take advantage of reduced prices over the summer break and come and experience ‘the house that Cath built’.

Here is the online link to the article about the dome in Domain magazine 🙂 The dome is available for bookings through Airbnb so come and check out my work, put your feet up, soak up the sights and sounds of this rainforest paradise… and escape the rat race for a few days unwinding in the hills enjoying Cath’s world first council approved dome home. Suitable for a couple, two couples, or a family holiday for four.

The accommodation industry is doing it tough in my area atm. So many places calling it quits and putting places in the market. Your support in booking or sharing the link is very much appreciated.

Ps… its defo not Australia’s first aircrete dome btw, just the first legal one ;)

Cath Wild built Australia’s first council-approved aircrete house using 6000 bricks she moulded herself, and estimates the whole home cost $130,000.

As I was cleaning the dome for today’s guests checkin, I took some moments to read the comments my beautiful guests have left in the guest book. I really do have the best guests ever!! Thankyou from the bottom of my heart!

There will always be the naysayers telling you what you can and can’t do, that you aren’t capable of achieving your dreams, that you just don’t have it in you to step outside of social expectations of what a woman is or does. Don’t listen! They are normally sitting there like ‘Norm’ on their well worn armchair, pointing pudgey fingers as they judge you from their own very limited perspective of what you are capable of. They are the talkers… let them talk 😉 because fortune favours the brave…

I encourage you to follow your dreams and have a go. It’s one life (this time around). And you can make magic if you believe in yourself. Thanks to my beautiful guests and their words of encouragement… you rock!! And if you want to book my world first international award winning dome for your own getaway of magic and wonder check out the Airbnb booking link on my website www.elysianfalls.com.au and I look forward to welcoming you to a place where anything is possible if you have a go 🙏
