Description
We are a family living on a permaculture property in the foothills of Byron Bay. We have chickens, bees, fruit trees and a large veggie patch. We are working on regenerating areas of the property back to bush and rainforest. Other friends on the property include koalas, water dragons, brush turkeys, pythons and many birds, frogs and lizards.
We need help with maintenance, digging holes, our vegetable garden and bush regeneration projects as well as help in the family house with cooking and cleaning.

Work hours will vary depending on the job and the day. Some days might be long hours but that will mean less work on other days.
In your free time you are welcome to explore the property, swim in the pool or join in the fun that is happening at the time. If you do not have your own car, lifts from the property into town can be organised. Buses also run in the area. While working at Foothills it is likely you will work with different family members on different jobs on different days depending what is happening that week. We are all friendly and look forward to meeting you.
