Description
This chaotic, happy lot, living in a bunch of windy ruins busy transforming it into a junkyard, although it is meant to become a farm, are looking for volunteers.
So if you feel like building, repairing, swearing, digging, looking for runaway animals, fencing, joking, laughing, & playing music, we would be happy to learn to know you.
Someone who loves to swing a brushcutter around, or just likes to prepare that great lunch could come in handy too.

keeping the engines running
- old tractors

- old 4x4
- and some big dinky toys
Although we spend raining days mostly drinking tea, the work with the animals is always to be done,
we have quails, pigeons, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, sheep, goats, cows, horses, cats and a dog.
Besides there are fields and veggies to attend to too.
