    Hi Workawayer's, I’m Karen.


    Strong, fit people preferred 25+
    Building skills are an advantage.
    If you like to keep fit whilst taking on a challenge this is the place for you.
    Good English is nessasary.
    Work hard in the morning and enjoy the wildlife and property in the afternoon.

    The usual tasks are:

    Picking up sticks and branches taking them to a fire pile
    Cutting down some small weedy trees and getting them to the fire pile
    Weeding
    Moving rocks about in the creek to form a rock pool
    Emptying gutters of leaves
    Track maintenance

    And plenty more.

    When you come here it's NOT all about the animals, it's working in the bush, to maintain wildlife, habitat.

    I live on 11 Acres of real (native) Australian Bush with winding tracks and Rainforest along a rocky creek.
    It contains a few rare native plants and there are lots of different ferns, palms, rainforest plants, vines and very tall gum trees.
    The creek has natural beauty even when it is dry.

    Hand raised Wallabies lay about during the day, and wild possum’s roam around at night.

    I renovated a site office and turned it into a home to temporarily live in. Now 15 years later it needs a bit or repair but still livable.
    A shipping container provides work shop and storage. And a second container has been turned into backpackers accommodation with bunk beds, but there is no heating or cooling, so you have be tough and live within the elements.

    My workawayers are allowed one square foot of wall space to leave there international mark. The wall is nearly full, and is fun to read.

    This property is totally self sufficient which means there are no phone cables, no power lines and no water pipes........a "stand alone" solar system and very noisy generator provides electricity, water from tanks and mobile phone and wireless Internet have great reception. BRILLIANT!
    But this does mean restrictions on power and water. So peeing outside is necessary!

    Experience with manual labor is preferred, or have building skills.
    The work is hard but rewarding.

    The animals you might find here are:

    Red Necked Wallaby's
    Swamp Wallaby's
    Paddymelons
    Koalas
    Thousands of wild birds
    Frogs
    Water Dragons
    Land Mullets
    Goannas
    Bandicoots
    Snakes
    Ticks
    Spiders
    Big Ants
    Leaches and heaps more but it depends on the season.

    PLEASE DON'T APPLY IF YOUR NOT INTO HARD WORK OR AFRAID OF CREEPY CRAWLIES!!
    I only take people for short stays 7-10 days.
    I can pick you up from Taree train station, or the state to state Premier Bus/Coaches stop at Nabiac.
    Greyhound Busses DON'T stop in Nabiac.
    If you have your own car it's only 20 minuets to the beautiful beaches of Forster and Tuncurry or you can come with me into town on a day off.

    I'm a licenced wildlife carer and a conservationist and my property is certified as "land for wildlife"
    I also have a Certificate 3 in Conservation and land management, and Cert 2 in Horticulture


    PLEASE NOTE: I only provide 3 meals a day, so if you want anything to snack on between meals or alcohol they are at your own expense.
    On Days off we usually go into town and do shopping and sight seeing but you feed yourselves for lunch and dinner.

    Contact me for any questions,
    And please include your Australian phone number for quicker communication.

    Cheers,
    Karen.
