Description
Hi
We live on a 5 acres farm in rolling hills on the northern edge of Perth, near a national park that is a delight for bushwalkers. We work hard but also have fun each night around the fire drinking wine and talking and lots of stories.
We have chickens, cats and dogs (we breed Mini Schnauzers), plus as you can see, we are building the crazy "Witch's house"
Meg is into Permaculture. Graeme is into car restoration, building with wood and metal. Both of us love entrepreneurship and run businesses from home.
Accommodation is basic, in our sleep over building - comfy bed, lights, good Wifi, Kitchen, and power. The toilet is a rustic composting type, not for the delicate person.
We really enjoy having backpackers stay. You guys are so interesting!
One thing though, We are big meat eaters so no special diets please accept gluten free.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Animal Care
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our property is situated 10 minutes drive from the local town, Bullsbrook, and 1 hour drive from the middle of Perth. Local public transport is a bus that runs a few times a day and connects to the Perth train network. There is the possibility of using one of our cars for sane, competent drivers :)
We have great WiFi too! The food and wine is tops...
Please note.... We eat meat and fish most nights, this is our diet, so we love you all but it is too hard to buy and make different meals for vegans and vegetarians. so sorry guys...
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
During the Aussie summer it's hot, so main help is watering the gardens, feeding the chickens, cooking, cleaning up and sometimes caring for puppies. Occasionally there may be also "cool" under cover building jobs on our strawbale house project depending on your interest and what we are up to at the time.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
We offer a separate building for accommodation, We lived there for 12 years before the house was finished enough to move in., and an underground bunker if preferred, and we all eat together for lunch and dinner.. Owing to one recent backpacker who left after just one night because she "didn't like bugs" and said our listing was misleading in this regard, we thought it wise to clarify: It is possible for the odd beetle or whatever to get into the room now and then. In addition, we have a basic, inside composting toilet that might scare some people! But you can have a nice shower every night and all the normal amenities. Most backpacker-type adventurers love it here :).
What else ...
There is the famous Swan Valley with many cafes, chocalatiers, wineries etc not far away. It is also just a few hours from tourist attractions such as the New Norcia monastery, the Pinnacles, Cohuna Wildlife Park, the Maze and water playground, and Perth and Fremantle of course. We also occasionally make a small car available for use by visitors.

We had a great experience there, with two very forthcoming hosts in all regards. Be it conversations about anything possible, or the very good provided food. Being with the dogs was always a pleasure and the work was not always easy, but rewarding.
Especially the taste of movies will stay with us for a long time. ;)

We were so happy to have you J and wish you could have stayed longer! Great worker, lovely person, dry sense of humour. It was also great having someone who is interested in Permaculture and metaphysics to yarn with :). Hope you make it back here one day.

I spent 2 weeks at Meg an Graeme's. If only i had not made plans already, previously to arriving I'd be happy to stay until they kicked me out. This was my first workaway stay and i had such a nice time. From the moment i stepped trough the gates i felt as welcome as i do in my own home. If all my host's are even half as good as these guys I'm in… read more

We had our first experience of wwoofing with Meg and Graeme and it was awesome! They are cool laid-back people with many interesting stories and hobbies. We got to stay in an underground bunker and help them with gardening and building a house.
The food was great, company even better and got to meet some interesting people!
Thank you so much… read more

We stayed 2 weeks at Meg and Graeme's place were we really enjoyed living in the old caravan and working outside! They advised us in many things also to improve our gardening skills. We loved to be surrounded by all different kinds of animals especially the dogs ( puppies!! ) were lovely. The evenings were great fun as well as working on the new… read more

We were there for 2 weeks it was amazing. We were with them on Christmas and we felt part of their family. We met a lot of good friends of them. We were in a good environment. Thank you very much for everything. We hope to see them when we will come back from Sydney.✌️✌️✌️

Graeme and Meg are wonderful people, and you will be at pains to find a couple as lively and interesting as they are. They allow you to work at a leisurely pace, and they take very good care of you. I ended up staying longer than I'd expected because it felt a little like home. Also, they have awesome internet!

Teddy is a tireless worker and never complains about the heat. He is also really pleasant to be around. We enjoyed having him as part of our family for 3 weeks and he almost single-handedly weed-whacked 5 acres on his own! Thanks Teddy :)

We stayed two weeks and it was a great- thank you Meg and Graeme! It was our first experience with workaway and it couldn`t have been better. Meg and Greame made us feel at home right from the beginning and welcomed us with open arms. Our main job was to help to build the strawbale house and we learned a lot of new skills. They showed us our jobs… read more

We were sad to see Yolanda and Markus leave this morning... It has been a wonderful 2 weeks with them. They've helped enormously and learnt new skills along the way (strawbale rendering) that they are very proud of now. They were happy to help with cooking, washing and housework too and were great company as well. Thanks guys. Welcome back… read more

Judy and Rob were keen and friendly. Unfortunately however Rob contracted an exotic illness from Indonesia just before he got here and was laid up for a week with Judy supporting him. Judy helped out where she could. Great Workawayers but not happy in the heat or cold. Thanks guys.
