Beschreibung
We are an outback Central Australian family living on a camel farm about 20 minutes drive from Alice Springs. We are in the rural area away from city lights and shops, and enjoy watching the stars that blanket our big skies and listening to the sounds of the birds. Our workaway projects do not include work with camels as we have experienced staff who are responsible for our lovely camels. We'd like some home help, such as housework, garden, cooking and maintenance as an exchange for your company, board and food; no paid work available. However, our charismatic camels love a chat so that you can learn some of their quirky behaviours.

We enjoy meeting people from around the world and showing them our bit of the outback Central Australia, especially introducing our camels. We hope you like hiking as there's so many wonderful hikes in our local area of the Western MacDonnell Ranges. If it's cool weather time, we'll sit around the fire outside under the blanket of stars, and if it's hot weather time, you can float in our pool looking up at the Milky Way. If English is your second language, every day we'll teach you a phrase of Aussie slang.

Was noch ...
We are very close to the Simpson Gap Nature Park in the Western MacDonnells National Park. There are many interesting hikes to do there including the Larapinta Trail. Alice Springs town is about 20 minutes drive. If you don't have your own vehicle, there are always opportunities to get a ride into town that coincides with our commutes. We have bikes to borrow and our helpers enjoy riding in the local rural area.
We have been hosting helpers since 2015 with much enjoyment and have met so many fascinating people. Our household is a busy one with school children, work days and activities. We find that the happiest helpers are those who are content to immerse themselves as a part of our household rather than looking to be at the centre.
We try to live lightly within our environment with kindness to all beings.
