Description
🙌we are looking for help for a few weeks in Jan!!
Hi all workawayers
We are a family of 5 who own and run a 43,000 acre station in southwest Queensland.
We graze cattle, sheep and goats and depending on the time of year we always have a lot of projects happening -
from fencing, to sheep work, feeding animals or renovating the old buildings, processing and tagging goats to garden projects.
We are a very busy and active family and enjoy having people from all over the world stay with us and help out, we are an experienced host family and have accommodated a lot of workers, backpackers and volunteers over the years
Although we offer payment for the work you do when you get here, we do also want you to be coming here for the right reasons not ‘just the money’
we are a busy farm with lots going on and if you are not interested in fully submerging your self in what we do, learning how we farm, our animal husbandry and our life style. This probably isn’t the right place for you. 😊
I should also note we do not have horses - we are a 43,000 acre property so all our mustering is done with aircraft and motorbikes for practicality and efficiency.
