Accomodation, we have a sleepout out the back of the house or having your own van or camper would be great. We don’t provide internet anymore!!
You will need to provide your own lunch. We start relatively early in the morning before it gets too hot, so you need to be an early riser. Some of the work we do will be labor intensive. In return we offer a boating trip or a tour of Cape Trib for three days work, or a reef trip for five days work weather permitting. We live in a remote area with off grid power no mobile service at our house and no internet at the house. Special dietary requirements must be self catered. Traveler's insurance required.
