    Description

    We are an Aussie couple with a 6 year old Border Collie who live on 5 acres and love hosting backpackers . We have been doing so for 15 years and enjoy every moment. We also have Kilian living with us - a 24yo German backpacker - a Stonemason - who came for 2 weeks and now has now stayed for over 2 years...we must be doing something right! During that time the three of us have hosted many backpackers - we call them ''family" from France, England, Germany, Austria, Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, United States, Switzerland, Scotland, Italy and even Australia. Sadly its time for Kilian to start seeing Australia so we are looking for new helpers - short or long stay - whatever suits you. We have so many projects to work on from lawns & gardens, plastering, painting and even general housework. No matter what your skills we can use your help. We are located in a regional area about 1 hour south of Sydney. The actual 88 day regional area starts approx 10 klms from our home. So whilst staying with us cant count - you may find work not far away.
    And the best part we have amazing waterd\falls 200m from our back fence and a Dog that just wants to play and swim all day.
