Our time at the farm was amazing! Working with these animals is really special, once you get to know them you see the different characters and understand that they are not just some farm animals but real individuals with needs and emotions! You can see that Brad truly cares for them and gives his absolute best to provide them the best time possible. The Bungalow is really cozy, not luxurious but you have everything you need to make yourself comfortable. The work is really nice and rewarding but it can get really exhausting, dirty and hot too so be aware of that! We really enjoyed it here!

I really had an amazing experience at the Farm. The work was sometimes physical challenging, especially in the heat, and you get super dirty, but I really enjoyed it. It was so wonderful to see all the animals there, now living the good life they deserve, it really makes you happy. Brad is also really kind and fair. He made us feel welcome right away. Everyone there is very nice, and we met some lovely people. You live with the other volunteers in your own bungalow, it's super cozy! We definitely plan to come back, it was an incredible experience and we felt very much at home :))

It was definitely hard work, but absolutely worth it! You're surrounded by stunning nature and wonderful animals, and you learn so much about them. Saying goodbye after a month was truly hard – it was an amazing experience that I would do again anytime!!🌞🌾

The animals live their best life and it feels so fulfilling to contribute to that- Brad is fair and considerate regarding your hours. You will get the chance to see wildlife in the area, including wallabies, birds, snakes and spiders! The work isn't easy and you need to learn quickly and efficiently- other volunteers train you, which can make things a bit confusing sometimes. I loved living with the other volunteers, we had such fun evenings together. The volunteer bungalow is not in the best condition anymore but that's okay, it's a farm ;) I'll definitely come back and am so thankful! 🐑👒

I absolutely loved my stay here! I really enjoyed the work and getting to know the animals. The 30 minute walk to dayboro is worth it, with beautiful artwork everywhere you look. I was fortunate enough to be staying with some really amazing people that made my time here unforgettable. Brad is a caring and kind person who is very knowledgeable and dedicated to his work. The only problem I had was the dirty living conditions. Ants, mice, mold, and cobwebs covering the walls and ceiling. I did what I could to clean up but definitely needs a deep cleaning with more supplies then what we had.

My time at the shelter was a beautiful experience that allowed me to connect with nature and animals! You will be staying with your fellow volunteers in your own farmhouse, which the volunteers are in charge of cleaning etc. In regards to the work, its beneficial to be a fast learner, hard-working, adaptable, and efficient. Volunteering here requires you to be ready for long days with tough and dirty work, sometimes in bad weather. Lastly, its important that you're mature and ready to take on a lot of responsibility - the volunteers are even in charge of training new staff.

It was great having you on the farm Jaqueline. You were very committed to the well-being of the animals and always willing to do extra to ensure that they were well and cared for. You fitted in so very well with the group and your positive and upbeat manner was great to be around. All the best for your future opportunities, stay in touch!

This was an incredible experience and I couldn't recommend it enough! The work is physically and mentally challenging, there's lots to learn and sometimes can be stressful, but it was so rewarding. Brad really cares about all the animals, and it's so nice to see how happy and free they are. I also met some amazing volunteers, and really enjoyed spending our evenings together in the accommodation. This is a truly special place for both animals and the shelter lovers.

I had the best time at the sanctuary and I was really sad that I had to leave after three months of staying there. Brad really gives those animals an amazing life and does everything in his power to make their lives incredible. The days can be long and exhausting but seeing the animals happy makes it worth it every single day. I learnt a lot about the life farm animals usually get to live and I also got to be there for all sorts of medical treatment. The animals and the volounteers will always have a special place in my heart and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in animals!

I've had a great time at the shelter. The work is hard but rewarding and you have a chance to really connect with animals you're taking care of and with people you're doing it with. Staying all together in the bungalow felt like home and as if we'd created a small family for the time being. Getting to know stories of all the animals but also the reality of food industry was heart crushing at times but I'm glad I could experience it and create new values for my life. Brad is a truly amazing person, and I'm glad I could be a part of making a change under his wings.

You have been such a terrific volunteer Maria, and we all already miss you. Your dedication to the welfare of the animals and willingness to learn made you the absolute perfect volunteer. We hope to see you again soon. Take care and don't forget to visit!

I had such a great time here! Everyone I met was so lovely and I learned a lot from working with them. The small number of volunteers means that you can become really close with people in no time! It was hard to say goodbye! Working with the animals was super rewarding and I can see why volunteers here often extend their stay! The farm is such a nice place to escape to, and the nearby town is easily accessible so you don't feel isolated at all. The volunteer bungalow was cozy and well maintained. I already miss waking up to a yard filled with chickens and goats!
