    hello workaway volunteers

    My name is Toon and I live on a 1 hectare rural residential property in the Daintree. This year I am looking for strong boy volunteers willing to help me with DIY projects. Couples are good here as well. I have a tropical food garden and that takes some hard labour.
    work hard.

    I live a little different to most in this country. My life style is very frugal, earthy, clean and to the best I can be, self sufficient. I am very connected to my land and rainforest. I live without electronics and no one brings phones or pads nor pods onto my property. Upon arrival, email your family if you wish, then your electronics are placed in a lock box (safe) inside your personal room. After this your phones and computers will be available at your request. It is a chance to detox from these items and it is the ‘number one’ reason most of my guests and volunteers apply to stay here.
    It is how I live, it makes a difference, to me, to others, to my land
    rest hard

    I live off my garden and surrounding forest as best I can. This garden is unique in the region. My tropical produce is minerally enriched. There are not so many minerals in our farmed food these days. I can teach you about tropical food growing, what I know so far. Help you towards a self sufficient path. I hunt and fish and put clean animal products in some of my broths and stews. You may eat in a different manner than what you are used to. The food regime here detoxes, builds and strengthens.
    My water is pure, no chemicals as most of the world now has to drink.
    The food experience takes effort from seed to storage, part of what we do as daily chore.
    work hard

    Volunteers and guests stay here for a few different reasons. Many want to clear the mind of chatter, to leave a confusing and chaotic world and have a period of calm mind. To see what happens to self without sugar, without the food products we have normalised. calm stomach. I stretch on the veranda every evening, it is important for me. I encourage you to join. calm body
    A lack of things here seem to be a big ingredient for a connection with self
    There is a small library on holistic health
    rest hard

    A few embrace forest romps, learning forest skills along the way
    eventually some dedicated with practice hunt with me.
    The longer you stay, the bigger and better your adventures.
    those with me a fora while, we have some jungle fun together
    play hard

    Most volunteers just want to chill after a hard four hours with me.

    Short term volunteers have accomodation, my tropical garden food and directions to the local tourist delights. l make sure you experience and see the Daintree in a special way.
    Those who stay a couple of months I take on camping escapades you wont find easily in this part of the world.

    Read the feedback, I live a hard existence, frugal and earthy means going without a few yummy and soft things you have normalised. I am a drill sergeant to keep this structure here. I am caring and compassionate that can test and challenge a few as well. It is far from your normal opportunity. Many volunteers and guests write me and tell me the time here changed their lives forever, something unintended when starting the program. All of them got through uncomfortable stages here.

    Note and note well. Only volunteer if you are prepared to do the time without your mind numbing phones and all electronics including kindels. Only volunteer if you are fit, strong, willing and able to move fast like me.
    work hard play hard rest hard

    looking forward to hearing from you.

    Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    Arriving at my place with a USB of 'new' music and or movies will make you special from the first step. Present a USB for a Sunday night picture show with photos of your life (not selfies) things like granny’s back yard, the school block, the apartments in the hood, Dads shed, your old car, the motor way to work, river where you swim etc, do that and you may be pleased at some point that you made the effort and made the experience important even before you got here.

    Arbeit

    
I have a number of DIY projects that I and the volunteers have been helping on. I will lead you through all these activities with patience and care. You will be helping beside me and I will instruct you on anything that is new to you. At times you will be helping with power tools which many of the volunteers relish. You will get hands on experience and walk away with an array of new knowledge and new skills. There is always garden tasks to do and again you will generally help beside me, however some volunteers are awesome in the garden and I leave them to help alone while I carry on with other tasks. You will need to be strong and fit and be a person who moves fast. I am 60 with a 6 pack and there are not so many younger volunteers who can keep up with me.
