Vom Host für Workawayer (Lukas)

Lukas was a great helper in the yard doing many tasks including firewood, clearing branches and drains, weeding, raking and helping with fire hazard reduction etc. He was hardworking and keen to do whatever task was needed. We shared cooking and washing up and I enjoyed his company. I wish Lukas well in his travels and adventures and don't… read more

Vom Workawayer (Lukas) für Host

Carole was a wonderful host. I only got to stay with her for just under two weeks, as I had to move on, but I would have gladly stayed longer. Her lovely property (which she and her family build themselves 35 years ago!) feels like it is in the middle of the forest and all sorts of exotics birds come to feed on her veranda. I was the only… read more

Carole is a very gracious host who picked us up from the bus stop and gave us a sightseeing tour of the local area where we saw kangaroos and a couple of lovely view points looking out to sea where she goes whale watching.
Caroles home is in the woods which gives the lovely feeling of being immersed in nature, we had a lovely big comfortable bed… read more

Vom Workawayer (Fedora) für Host

Carole is simply lovely! She welcomed us in her home and even though the heavy smoke from the bushifres confined us to the house most of the time we spent a really nice week with her. The jobs were simple, the food really good (cooking for her was fun) and Carole herself is great company. Kiki enjoyed watching tv and feeding the birds with her and… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Fedora)

Fedora (and Kiki) stayed at a time when nearby bushfires created difficulties with smoke and timing for outside work. She was enthusiastic and diligent doing tasks inside and outside which included household chores, preparing and cooking meals, and raking up vast amounts of leaves and branches from the recent high winds. Fedora was always prepared… read more

I had been enjoying myself everyday while i was there. The weather wasn't sometimes good, but she brought me many many places. She is very easy going and gentle. And she taught me lots of OZ things :) it was only one week, but i had really nice time there. If you do workaway there, you might be able to see a variety of beautiful Australian birds.

We stayed with Carole for a week in her house in Repton and helped her with cleaning her garden, removing plants and collecting sticks, which we burned on a fire. Everyday we saw many beautiful birds and had nice conversations with Carole during dinner, which we enjoyed. In our freetime we visited the area und had a beach day.
Thank you very much… read more

Gwan stayed with me for a week in June this year. He was enthusiastic and very helpful. He did a lot of tasks in the yard and enjoyed doing the firewood.

We stayed with Carole for a week in her lovely home in Repton and helped with lots of weeding and yard cleanup. We saw many beautiful birds and learned much about the wildlife and plant life in the area. We enjoyed spending time in the nearby beaches and towns, and exploring the local area by bike. Thank you for having us, Carole!

They also did several household… read more
