Lindy Duncombe is the owner of Tinkle, a property situated in Stokers Siding, New South Wales. The property is a wildlife sanctuary with lush dense rainforest that slopes down into a gully and back up on its length as well as old forest surrounds. Lindy hopes to maintain Tinkle’s tranquility and would like to assist in the establishment of a wildlife corridor with her neighbours who are also a Wildlife Land Trust sanctuary.
