Tess and Graham Payne

Tess and Graham have diverse backgrounds, including theatre costume design, owning a café, contemporary dancing, and being a horse and cart tour operator.

Over the decades, they have built up Payne’s Hut, an Australian-style experience situated in the upper reaches of the Mitta Mitta River, to be a relaxing oasis. Look up and you realise everything you see was created by their hands.

In between using their spades and hammers, they’ve co-created DO Lectures Australia. Such is their passion to share worldly wisdom about care, generosity, building community and empowering others.
