I am an Australian who has lived in New Zealand for the last 32 years. My wife is a Fijian and we share parenting duties with my wife's extended family (the Fijian way), so we usually have one or two kids in our house. We also own a small farm which we are in the process of developing (see below for more details). We are both smokers and I enjoy a beer socially and a bowl of kava (traditional Fijian herbal beverage). We are not vegetarian, we eat traditional Fijian and Indian cuisine, but vegetarians are welcome.

Jo and I are both long term residents of Vanuatu. Our Farm is being developed to be a working superannuation for Joe and myself, as well as a long term income for all the families involved. The tourist side of the venture is called Eden on the River, as is being connected to Paradise. My philosophy is not so much the need to be totally organic but definitely "Clean and Green". The property is 18 hectares and we operate quite a diverse operation from 1800 free range chickens producing eggs, free range pigs, tropical fruit, asparagus production, to our latest venture, tourism. We have a “petting zoo nearing completion” as well as other things on the burner.

We are a family operated business running brahman breeders in the Gulf of Carpentaria and a fattening operation including sheep near Longreach Central Queensland. We are a young friendly couple who have travelled overseas and know the value of staying with locals and learning the interesting ways of life. There is much to see and do in our part of QLD with beautiful wildlife & vast countryside.

*** Diver and marine researcher on a yacht! We are NOW looking for people interested in marine conservation and the environment. It is important that you are able to dive. Other useful skills include marine biology studies or experience and sailing or boat experience. You need to be available for at least 2 months. There is a small cost which covers your board and food. You would meet the boat in Port Vila, Vanuatu. The boat will go up north through the Vanuatu islands and then head towards Brisbane where it will end its journey.*** We are Chris and Julia and often Chris's 16 year old daughter Sophie. We currently also have two french interns helping us but they are about to leave. We would love to have an individual or a couple who would like a longer stay helping to run our environmental organisation. We live on a small eco-village in Northland, New Zealand close to beautiful beaches. We require help in looking after our home and garden as well as administration work for our aid organisation . It is a charitable organisation that provides marine conservation and humanitarian aid to the Pacific Islands. Sometimes there is work on the yachts and in the Pacific Islands.
