Working with Mike was great! You work together early morning for about 3 hours then he kindly will take you to the bus stop to be able to get to Airlie Beach! Hard work but it was really nice to see all the work he has been putting in. I got a room to myself and we went to the grocery store to be able to get your own food if you would like!

Staying with Mike and Tanja was an amazing experience. They were so kind and welcomed me with open arms. It was a really peaceful environment and helping Mike in the garden was so fun and educational. I got to learn a lot about nature and wildlife, and loved helping with his projects. After working in the morning, you get the day to explore the stunning surrounding area, and Mike also offered to drop me at the bus stop every day. Thank you so much for hosting me and I hope to be back.

I stayed at Mike's for 10 days and had an amazing first Worldpackers experience! He was patient, explained things clearly, and shared his inspiring vision for the garden, which made the work even more meaningful. I learned so much about reusing materials, local wildlife, and the Proserpine area. It's easy to visit Airlie Beach after work, and Mike had awesome tips on what to do. I totally recommend volunteering here!

Our time with Mike was a good break from traveling. We did 3hours of cutting Mango Trees from 7-10 in the morning. After that we jumped into the pool, cooked us some food and relaxed. Mike took us to Proserpine once and offered everyday to take us to the bus stop to Airlie. Mike is a very nice and kind men, who taught us a lot about his "jungle". The work can be a bit exhausting, but still manageable. Definitely prepare yourself for lots of mosquitoes. Bring mosquitos spray, long socks + trousers + good shoes.
