The final community of our WWOOF travel through WA, and in deed of Molly's whole three-year study, was Rosneath, near Dunsborough. This was clearly an example of intentional community going horribly wrong. I won't bother detailing what we learned and experienced about the pitfalls of setting up and maintaining an intentional community, but to learn more, click on this link to read an article in the Busselton Mail (published well after our stay) about its eventual and somewhat inevitable demise.
Our hosts however, and despite the enormous stress and disappointment they were managing at the time, were very giving and delightful company.
And should it have suceeded it would have been a really interesting and socially accessible (i.e. mainstream) community. It failure really is a shame.
