    Description

    🙌we are looking for help for a few weeks or more for child care and projects with animals and garden on our farm.

    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 -

    Im currently looking for some one to help out with a bit of the kids school work, mainly arts and P.E - so any one with high energy and an creativity is more than welcome 🙏
    We school via the internet as we are over 100k from town.

    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.

    We are a busy farm with lots going on and we want someone interested in fully submerging them self in what we do, learning how we farm, our animal husbandry and our life style and most important we want you to enjoy your experience . 😊

    This is a cultural exchange- to show you how life is in outback Australia.

    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 & efficiency.

    We can offer you the 'true outback experience’
    We make a trip in to the local town once a week which has an artesian spa and a few country shops.
    There are daily flights to Roma from Brisbane or daily busses to Mitchell from Brisbane so we are well connected.

    We have country races, tennis socials and other social events we attend on a regular basis. Having said this we are 100k from our local town and you will need to be adaptable to rural and remote living.
