Description
Hi there,
A little bit about us; we are both in our fifties and my daughter also lives here on weekends, my son is at boarding school, so he is only home in school holidays, we enjoy meeting people from all over the world and sharing our piece of paradise, in the true outback of Australia with red dirt and beautiful sunsets 64,000 acres with lots of Kangaroos, Emu's, sheep, goats & cows. We love animals and always have lots of pets like dogs,cats,horses, a donkey, alpacas, goats,sheep, chickens to take care of, we have 4 cabins and have just started a farm stay, we take caravan guest too, but have not had many guest yet.

We live 84 kilometers from Bourke in western NSW

Help
We would love some help anytime, we will be grateful if you could help with house/ cabin cleaning, assisting in feeding the pets and helping around the farm with general farm tasks like; fixing fences, handling sheep and goats, when we are working with them, weeding our organic garden, that we happily share our farm produce from, we are waiting for the local builder to come back and finish building a camp kitchen, with your help, we will assist him.
Long stays are better for us, we prefer couples ( boyfriend/girlfriend).
I enjoy cooking & I'm happy to cater for you. We eat mostly meat style meals but it's no problem if your a vegetarian as long as your not offended by us eating meat, you will be eating with us in the main house unless you are traveling with a van or camper van and choose to cater for yourselves.
You will have separate accommodation in a near new two bedroom air conditioned cottage, some times shared with other visitors.Languages spoken
