Rocky River Play Station

It's a beautiful part of Australia, blending bush life with modern comforts. Here you'll find something a little different, away from the cities. Dark skies give you an incredible view of the stars. Enjoy wide open spaces, bush hills for a hike, and the Rocky River for a refreshing dip when the weather is hot. We've also got cuddly lawnmowing cows, beautiful but noisy peacocks, and a range of wildlife to spot including kangaroos and wallabies, parrots, goannas, dingoes....

We're generally not in any rush around here. We like to play, eat good food, live intentionally, and help others around us. I value good communication, cultural connections, and treating each other with respect. If you're here to help us in what we're doing, I hope we can also help you in some way too. I'm in my late 30s, have lived in Finland and Scotland, and worked with volunteers in many different capacities. I have two young sons, who also love to get involved in whatever project we're working on. My career background is with event management (for festivals, conferences etc), supporting non-fiction writers (eg phd students, researchers), and a long time ago I worked in Aboriginal archaeology.

I really enjoyed my time at the farm, especially hanging out with the boys. Jess was very welcoming and helpful, and the homestead was a nice place to spend some time out in the Australian bush. The accommodations were good, and I got my fill of some really good homecooked food. The work I did was not hard, mostly watching the boys and simple tasks around the house. I would recommend this as a restful oasis far away from everything else, among pleasant company.

One of my most memorable stays for sure! Jess is amazing, the kids are adorable, and the work was easy. I spent my time hanging out with the kids, deep cleaning, and everyday tidying. I especially love the cows you get to see and hear everyday. The land is just absolutely stunning! Jess is super kind with fantastic cooking skills, a humor you will never forget, and is extremely welcoming. I will cherish the memories I made here and highly recommend getting to know this incredible family.

Truly a wonderful experience. I felt very safe and comfortable from day one, Jess and her family welcome everyone with open arms. Tasks are variable, there’s plenty of time to unwind and get to know the people and the land. We did a couple of visits to nearby villages, but a few weeks just flew by here. Definitely would go again!
Thank you Jess!❤️

Staying with Jess and her two kids was a real privilege! I ended up spending more time there than firstly planned and it was amazing, the tasks are fun and diverse and Jess always makes sure that you do things that you want and that you're not outworking yourself. If you want to join a beautiful family and help with a lot of really cool projects in an awesome place, it is definitely worth it. Thank you for everything Jess, you are amazing.

Jess and the boys are amazing! The whole farm is a safe space and you can see the real bush life in Aus :) I had a really great time there and I’m glad I got the opportunity to spend a month at that beautiful place.
