Volunteer on Farm with a Family. Beautiful Views and Relaxed Atmosphere.
Description
My family would like to invite travelers to stay with us at our farm in the centre of NSW at Condobolin 5 hours drive west of Sydney. We have been having so much fun hosting people and making new friends.
You will see the most amazing Australian birds including kookaburra and different types of parrots. You can find kangaroos and emus in almost every paddock. Take in a beautiful Sunset anytime of the year. In your spare time there is great swimming in the creek or in summer we can take you to catch freshwater crayfish. Plenty of bush and open space to get 'lost' in.
A 10 000 acre (4000ha) property with up to 5000 sheep, 200 cattle and 1500 acres of crop.
We are all very interested in growing and producing our own food. We have an orchard and grow a large veggie garden. We also have chooks, geese, turkeys and ducks.
We are a family of five, Tim and Sue (mid 40's) Max and Tiff (26 & 23) and our Nan (70). We live and work on the property and also travel in our spare time.
We also breed Labrador and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs. We very much love dogs.

It was great to be in Boxdale few weeks with all the family. Funny and very nice people. It's a great place to work and share fun and laughter. The house-train is a very comfortable... we was like at home!!!. All family members are great. We had an amazing time with them!!. Kisses and hugs for everyone. Let's see if we can meet one day in more
My first workaway experience and the best experience I have had. Learnt so many new skills and take with me lots of memories. The Jones family are very very welcoming and now feel like family. Will never forget this or forget them, once you stay here you will want to come back! Thank-you so much for such a great time :)
Not the usual 'Backpackers', we arrived not knowing what to expect (both mature over 50) We stayed for 11 days and wished we had stayed longer. It was a fantastic experience, we were made very welcome by the family and enjoyed a true Australian experience!!! We arrived as guests and left as friends, hope to be able to return one day.....miss the more
I spent 6 weeks with the Jones Family. We had lots of fun together and I enjoyed every minute there! Definitely one of the best times in my life!
See You next year :)

We had an amazing time with the Jones Family. They were incredibly welcoming and made all of us feel like we were doing something helpful--which can be hard when you're also dealing with an 8 and 11 year old! Our kids had such a wonderful time that they are already talking about when they can return. Greg and I would love to one day as well. Keep more
Two great weeks with the Jones Family! Lots of fun, new things to learn, good discussion, great cooking and well: sheep, dogs & cows ;-)
I hope we meet again one day!
