Amazon Acres was a separatist feminist commune that operated in northern New South Wales, Australia in the 1970s and 1980s. Amazon Acres was ruled by consensus which participants admitted was challenging. The commune was governed by the Three Ms - no men, no meat and no machines.[1][2]
Like most other separatist feminist communes Amazon Acres ultimately failed, partly because the vast majority of young women who were brought up in the commune chose to leave during their teenage years and return to normal society.[1]
