  Beschreibung

  Our retirement paradise we started with a blank canvas without water and power and in 5 years we have created our dream but there are still many projects to do and we need a hand or two
  Our homestead is solely private and all produce generated on the property (veggies, eggs, honey) is for our own consumption.
  We raise pigs and sheep for our own consumption.
  We provide exceptional facilities for you and food for you to self cater, we provide our own honey, free range eggs as well as herbs, fruit and veggies when in season from our garden plus other pantry necessities, we do not provide for special dietary requirements.
  We also provide laundry facilities, wifi and outdoor exercise.
  You will be based here on our farm which is not serviced by public transport, the nearest small town is 8 km and provides a regional train service, we can provide a lift to the train station.
  We offer a traditional work away experience 5 hours a day 5 days a week.
  Preferred arrival days are Monday afternoons with departures on Monday morning, work days will include Saturday and Sunday, usual stay time of 2 weeks.
  My wife is retired and I still work full time from home as a Bushfire Analyst so we would like assistance and interaction with workawayers.
