Sharon and Mick we're absolutely amazing people, they made the entire experience so memorable and special. From the beginning I felt so comfortable and happy being there. The work could be challenging in the heat at times, but we were always allowed breaks. The animals were beautiful and so friendly. It was an unbelievable experience. It's definitely the real Aussie bush life!

If you're looking for a fun and real outback farm experience, this place is for you! Get ready to get your hands dirty :) It's a lovely place with great animals (lots of cute dogs!!). The hosts, Sharon and Mick, are a funny bunch who will poke fun at you and tell it to you straight, but also make sure you're taken care of. I had a great time and am very grateful for the experience!
