The word ‘elysian’ comes from the idyllic Greek mythological place called Elysian Fields. I can think of no better name for this lush rainforest valley, hidden away in the stunning Sunshine Coast Hinterland. From world-first international prize winning Aircrete Dome accommodation to stunning contemporary artworks and rainforest trails… this is truly a place of creativity, connection, and calm.
A place where magic happens…

Aircrete Dome Elysian Falls nestles on 8 acres of lush hinterland rainforest in a hidden valley on Ensbey Road in Flaxton. Winner of the Airbnb OMGfund for unique sustainable accomodation, this amazing dome has taken sculptor Cath Wild 3 years to complete and is a livable work of art. Featuring hand carved cedar furniture and a wood fired hot tub entertaining area. Perfect for couples or a small family getaway.
This is Australia's first aircrete dome to have council build approval and engineer signoff, and it's being built by a woman! To download a copy of the plans pdf package click on the link.
Aircrete Domes are super low cost to build and very DIY friendly. They are not only fireproof, cyclone proof, and termite proof... but have incredible sound insulation and thermal insulation. All of these attributes make it perfect for our harsh Aussie climate.
I am passionate about the interactivity and tactility of the sculptural installation. My pieces comment on the contemporary human condition in a personal and sometimes confronting way. I use techniques of repetition and scale to reinforce my concepts, and always create with an inherent respect to the technical process of making. I have been a practicing artist (formerly Cath Johnston) for over 25 years and have exhibited widely across Australia.
