Activities & Shift

The work load varies from day to day, according to weather and the mood of the chef, but doesn`t take more than 3-4 hours! I also try to adapt to my guests` wishes and interests so we can all have a lot of fun and make your stay as enjoyable as possible while getting some jobs done! Some examples of tasks are: learning to drive the tractors, fencing, using chain saws for cutting up firewood, feeding the animals, mechanical work, housework, ...

Rules

You`ll have your own private room in a large spacious house with poor mobile coverage but with Wi-Fi... All meals are provided and you will also get the opportunity to learn different recipes to cater for your friends and family back home. I am a meat lover but can easily accommodate for vegetarians or vegan.
There is no minimum length of stay but I highly prefer guests staying for at least a 2 weeks.
If needed I am happy to pick you up from Agnes water main bus stops, Fingerboard Premier bus stop or Miriam vale train station (and even Bundaberg on Fridays!).
Overall this HelpX experience is ideal for someone who enjoys being in a pristine environment, in touch with nature and who loves to socialize... So if it sounds like you get in touch now! :)
