Description
Our project is situated 7 km from Katherine Post Office on the way to the famous Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) 22 km away. We have 9 acres of garden and lawn surrounding our business that needs upkeep as well as general ground maintenance. Help would include some cleaning, painting, gardening.
We run an Indigenous Cultural Experience on our property during the dry season which the helper will be able to take part. This consists of listening to Manuel, (winner of the 2013 Brolga tourism award for outstanding interpretive guide and 2023 Tripadvisor people's choice winner) telling stories of growing up in the bush, fire lighting with two sticks, and spear throwing with a woomera.
All who have stayed with us so far have had a great time and learnt lots about Australia, Aboriginal Culture, wallabies and Weeds of Australia!! We get to learn about other countries as well which is great for us as well and get to taste great food.
Smokers need not apply.

I only stayed for two weeks but they were great. The cultural experience and the family dinners are just the cherry on the creamcake ( as you would say in Germany). I hoped I could have stayed longer. You learn a lot about aboriginal art and the little wallabies are just to cute.… read more
