The farm is an amazing pace to learn about the lifestyle that you live on the cattle station. The eating habits, routines, culture, history and all the sort of tasks that actually need to be done to accomplish to run a station/land. The hosts are amazing and I love this place and would absolutely recommend going there and I intend to come back

Lyn and Robyn were very friendly and welcoming to their house. I was the only volunteer while I was there, and work was relatively easy and everyday you have different things to do. From working in the cattle station, weeding, some cleaning at the house/at the farm, cooking, etc. They picked me up from a city nearby, and dropped me off too, which was very helpful since their place is quite remote. Must say it's one of a kind experience, living around wild animals, which was my favorite part among other great moments! Thank you Lyn and Rob for hosting me! Wish you the best x

I absolutely loved my time on the farm station. Rob, Lyn (the hosts) and other family members and friends that visited during my time there were all super easy to get along with. I was able to see cattle work and other farm works up close, as I was always welcome to come along when something needed to be done. The jobs were doable and fun, usually in the mornings. Lyn always makes sure that you're comfortable with the work ☺️ Even after I was done with the work I often spent the rest of the day with the family or their adorable pups 🥰 was really sad to go.. it was a great experience ❤
