Our project is situated 7 km from Katherine Post Office on the way to the famous Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) 22 km away. We have 9 acres of garden and lawn surrounding our business that needs upkeep as well as general ground maintenance. Help would include some cleaning, painting, gardening, cooking.
We run an Indigenous Art Gallery on our property during the dry season which the helper may need to help out with.
All who have stayed with us so far have had a great time and learnt lots about Australia, Aboriginal Culture, wallabies and Weeds of Australia!! We love to learn about other countries and share both culture and food.
