Description
We are mother and son, both well travelled. We have traveled previously involved in many help/work exchanges as well as hosted many travelers ourselves. We have recently purchased a property/acreage along the west coast an hour north of Perth/15 minutes from Lancelin (beach) with full-time traveling on pause for now
Location :
Perth's northern suburbs Yanchep/Butler 1 hour south
Jurien Bay 1 hour north
Perth CBD 1.5 hour
Perth Airport almost 2 hours
We are hoping for some help around the property. We are on 8 acres. Half of the land is native bush while the other half is semi cleared. We have only recently returned to the property and right now, find that there is a bit of tidying up to do. Nothing glamorous unfortunately. It would be helpful to have an extra set of hands around. Later down the track, some odd reno jobs in and around the house for those that are handy or have building experience
For now, we can only offer an exchange to travelers that have their own self contained accommodation eg.camper, van, bus etc. There is electricity available but for now, no water although there should be access to this locally, including blackwater waste disposal
Happy to host for one week at a time. There should only be 2-3 days of work, total of 7-10 hours per week (single person). For couples/families this would equate to a different amount. We will be able to host travelers inside the house soon (max 2 persons)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In the past I have hosted many travelers but for childcare. All became a part of our small family and experienced a true cultural exchange.
Unfortunately, with so many commitments I am unable to host like this over the coming months. Ideally the exchange is suitable for someone that'd like to save some money on accommodation and get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy country life, but very close to the ocean. Take a break and reset. The sky is clear at night, and you will only wake to the sound of wildlife surrounding you. It is very normal to spot kangaroos and rare birdlife/wildlife in/around our property.

Help
Mainly tidying up around the house and shed
The property has been left with alot of 'junk' and rubbish that is in the sand unfortunately. It'd be nice to start on a 'blank canvas' before trying to regrow grass
The work isn't glamorous, nor exciting, but it is only little hours each week
Some small renovation type tasks but this may be later down the track. It'd be nice to host someone experienced or handy
Let me know what you are comfortable doing and we can figure out if a work exchange is possible for your preferred dates

We spend 1 funny month with Shirley & Mathias and we really enjoyed it. Shirley is nice woman, she has help as with everything what we just need. We spend lot of time on the beach just walking, watching the sunnset and BBQ. We were playing games and watching the Voice! :smile:
Mathias is really energetic young… read more
