Program Details

We have been Wwoof and Helpx hosts for nearly 20 years.
You help me with farm work then I have extra time to show you special places and things, play tourist guide locally and teach you as much as I can. I never ask you to do something your not comfatable with. 4 to 6 hours a day but most people want more.

Activities & Shift

There is no routine other than breakfast,lunch and dinner and multiple cups of tea. One day may might be mustering 300 sheep, the next might be building a fence with a million dollar view.
Too many jobs to list. Maybe a walk in the bush or tractor work.

Rules

Respect our land and home.
Build an understanding of how a family farm runs and what a commercial farm needs to do.
No drugs.
