Description
Friendly family living and working on a remote sheep station in Outback Australia.
For extra curricular opportunities we have ponies and horses, a pool, games room and the incredible opportunity to see a very large woodshed in action.
A private bedroom is provided and lots of yummy food. You can else help with cooking if that’s your thing!
Sheep, dogs, kids, jackaroos, jillaroos, snakes, dry conditions, all you would expect to find in the bush.
It’s a large operation with quite a few workers so there will be plenty of people to socialise with to keep you company.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
They will learn about life in the remote outback on an iconic sheep station + country horse riding if you are interested
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Help me with general duties around station complex.
If ok I would love some domestic help with cleaning such as house work, like dusting and vacuuming (but if this is a deal breaker I’m not worried about it).
We love all nationalities!
We encourage older people to experience the outback too:)
This is a big station. This is a unique Australian experience on offer. There are many workers here.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
Currently we have available…
-a private room in a shared cottage with one other female contractor.
What else ...
We have some aussie jillaroos and jackaroos working here, they will help to make your stay here memorable if the Wilhelmina doesn’t!
They can swim in the pool or dam, go for outback walks, get involved with the horses such as going on a trail ride or just hanging out with us.
Any help would be appreciated
We are very remote!!!
