Vom Host für Workawayer (Alfred)
Alfred is an intelligent, thoughtful and interesting man. We really enjoyed his time with us. We also wish he could have stayed longer but that was due to our being delayed at the start. Happy to take on and complete any task, at short notice, including getting muddy in the rain or moving a mass of branches and logs from felled trees on the road.
… read more Repotting the hundreds of little trees we raise for rainforest regeneration was a fantastic effort. The saplings have responded well and will be ready for planting out in the next wet season. (We also love this job.)
One of the joys of Workaway is the enthusiasm and interest of Workawayers. Alfred and his fellow workawayers were great company and we indeed had some late evenings with intriguing and diverse conversation.
Alfred, if you're ever back in Australia, you are most welcome to visit us again. We hope we meet again.
Vom Workawayer (Alfred) für Host
I had a great time in the rainforest with David, Elke and my fellow workawayers!
I discovered my surprising love for repotting tree saplings and i had great fun preparing the area for treeplanting, shoveling dirt. Other that that we also got to do a bunch of small tasks and helping around the house. Work hours were distributed around the day,
… read more mostly in the morning when the sun was shining. Nothing was too hard or difficult, but still a good learning experience.
David was great at showing us the local area and shared a lot of his knowledge on the plants and animals around his place. I had a ton of fun, talking for hours in the evenings and eating amazing food and fruit. Thanks for the great company, its a shame I couldn’t stay longer!
Corentinne is a most enthusiastic Workawayer. Always looking to help. She was happy to get muddy in the rain preparing an area for tree planting and then carting road base to divert water runoff into our driveway from the road. A construction similar to a speed bump so we named it "le dos d'âne". Potting two hundred seedlings then clearing
… read more branches and logs from fallen rainforest trees. It's the rainforest cycle.
Keen to help with cooking and very interested in food preparation. And doing the dishes. Always tidy.
It was good to refresh our basic French conversation with Corentinne's help.
She enjoyed interaction with the rainforest fauna and her fellow Workawayers. It was fun to host Corentinne and she is welcome back. Even though we are inside a rainforest, we have more trees to plant.
A very hospitable couple. I spent a week with them in the Daintree Forest! Helka is a very good cook and Davide taught me a lot of things. Once again, a big thank you to them!!!!
Vom Host für Workawayer (Ava)
It was pleasure to host Ava here in the Daintree Rainforest. We all enjoyed her company. Ava worked well with the other Workawayers, two from France, then two from Finland. Together they cleaned up our cabin after the wet season, cooked and served up all the great meals. Indeed we enjoyed our after dinner discussions with wine and cheese. Outdoor
… read more tasks were a bit limited by the weather but they made the most of their time here. Ava found jobs that needed doing and did them well. On the sunny days, we visited the Mossman market and and two of our favourite hidden waterholes. And the Daintree Ice Cream Company.
Ava is certainly recommended. She is welcome here anytime and we hope to see her again one day.Weitere Bilder

Vom Host für Workawayer (Charlotte )
Charlotte is fantastic. Self sufficient, interested and keen to contribute. Great company with the other workaways. Working with mud and water, quite nice. Moving large rocks, not too hard. Which was most useful as our major project was to complete the stairway down to our creek. A structure made from large flat rocks, smaller rocks, gravel and

Make a brush from fan palms. Paint a diary entry with ochres from the creek. Explore our rainforest, Cow Bay and beyond with the workaway team on bicycles. Charlotte made the experience. We all visited some favourite places together. It was a wonderful time.
The absolutely nice food was prepared by the workaways.
I still love to talk about this adventure also.
Charlotte, we hope to see you again.

The 10 days I stayed in the rainforest with David were fantastic. I still love to talk about this adventure. The work was quite nice and not too hard ;) He took us too amazing places like creeks hidden in the forest and waterholes to go swimming and beautiful beaches. I will never forget this time and I definitely recommend going there.
Wish you

Vom Host für Workawayer (Laura)
Laura is a wonderful and versatile contributor. Enthusiastic and keen to take on any task – cleaning, construction, cooking, and anything new.
Our major project was to complete the stairway down to our creek. Materials were big flat rocks, smaller rocks, gravel and mud, all sourced from the creek. Laura was key to the project and showed great
… read more initiative in placing and securing large flat rocks to form the steps. I still wonder how they placed some of the rocks. A real team effort. Keen to take on projects, she then laid out stone edgings and steps to terrace our rough bush path to the top of the stairway. All the stones, gravel and mud were carted up the 10 m climb from the creek on the newly completed steps. Hard and muddy tasks in the rainforest seemed like part of the fun. Laura also cooked wonderful meals for the whole group. She kept the cabin in good order and embraced the fun job of cleaning.
Laura soaked up the rainforest, sought out the wildlife and explored Cow Bay and beyond with the workaway team on bicycles. We all visited some favourite places together. It was a wonderful time.
Laura, I hope we do see you again – soon.
Vom Workawayer (Laura) für Host
We had a wonderful time at Davids place in the rainforest. I did some work around the house like cleaning, building stone steps at the river and cooking. We also had a lot of time to explore the rainforest. David took us to some secret places which was very fun. He wanted us to have a good time and that’s what we did.
If you love to be in nature

Vom Host für Workawayer (Moritz)
Moritz seems to be able to do anything. A self starter who will finish the job. All tasks were met with enthusiasm. Also important, his enthusiastic and inclusive company for fellow workaways.
On his own initiative, Moritz replaced a torn up section of our bathroom floor, an intricate job on our wish list. His attention to detail demonstrated in

He enjoyed cooking including producing the amazing finishing touches to our gourmet breakfast each morning. And cleaning up afterwards. He reorganised our jumbled shipping container into a work shop. Roadworks and working with the workaway team building a long natural materials staircase to our creek with huge rocks, gravel and mud. No problem getting dirty, he seems to like mud. We explored some music together, he really knows seriously interesting stuff. Moritz soaked up the rainforest, made friends with tiny tree frogs and stick insects and explored Cow Bay and beyond with the workaway team on bicycles which they had assembled out of the box. We visited some favourite places together. It was a wonderful time.
Moritz, it would be a pleasure to see you again. We hope you will return.
Vom Workawayer (Moritz) für Host
I have been with David for 10 days.
We helped with different tasks like building a staircase to the river, cooking, sorting things or renewing the bathroom floor. But the most important part for David was that we experience the rainforest and we definitely did:).
So if you like to take a bath in natural pools and rivers, ride the bike through the

David is a nice guy, always caring and helps where he can. We had the best and freshest food and nice evenings talking or listening to music.
I can totally recommend coming here. Thank you very much David, for the good time and hope to see you again :)
Ps: I hope the storm didn’t hit too hard!
Vom Host für Workawayer (Hannah & Fiona)
Indeed a pleasure to host Fiona and Hannah here in the Daintree Rainforest. Enthusiastic, intelligent and self reliant. Seed collection and potting plants in our little rainforest nursery.

Their Workaway Description as open-minded, adventurous, reliable, responsible, self-reliant and disciplined is accurate.
Hannah and Fiona are welcome back anytime.
Vom Workawayer (Hannah & Fiona) für Host
Our stay with David was absolutely fantastic! The place is definitely unique. Right at the beginning we were welcomed with open arms. He showed us a lot of amazing places in their region and we felt like having a personal guide! We really enjoyed the late night talks about travel experiences and got loads of helpful tips. David is a generous,
