Descripción
My husband and I live on a farm. We have 2 lovely twin 10-year-old daughters and a 7 year old son.
We manage a sheep farm. I am a swimming instructor and beauty therapist and also manage a Cafe on our farm, my husband is a sheep shearer and farmer. We grow our own organic veggies. We live 650 acres with 2 fresh water lagoons that you can kayak on, we have a sheepdog, chickens we also have plenty of wildlife ie Wallabys, possums, and Kangaroos. We need help in many areas depending on your skills. We would prefer someone who loves small children, someone happy to help out around the house loves to cook, and enjoys the outdoors.
Lots to do and see on kangaroo island
Having your own car on the island helps you to see so much.

Melissa and her kids are the best! Her kids are very sweet and embrace you as part of their family. It was great to get some off time to explore kangaroo island and get Mel and Justin’s recommendations. Her mom bev also is sweet and has kangaroos at her distillery :) would recommend this workaway experience!

I stayed with Mel and Justin for a month, and it was not nearly long enough!! They were so kind and easy going. They cook GREAT food and made me feel like part of the family! The kids are absolutely amazing to be around, I already miss them so much. This is the best workaway I've done, I wish I could leave more than four smiley faces!!
