Description
I come from Switzerland originally and have been in Australia for 20 years.
I own a little hobby farm with 3 horses (brumbies) that I caught in the NT and tamed, they are very friendly.
And then there is Mimi, my cat, which was a wild cat and was rescued at 2 weeks of age in the Kimberley.
I have renovated my beautiful old timber house. There are always some projects to do around the house where I will need a hand with such as clean up a shed that was demolished, clean the rafters and verandah to get ready to oil, help building a horse shelter etc.
I currently have a bad shoulder and struggle with these sort of jobs.

UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
My farm is a small Aussie hobby farm with tamed Australian brumbies from the Northern Territory. I am from Switzerland but adapted very well to the true blue Aussie lifestyle. I speak German, some French and Australian. Travellers will experience a typical rural life on a small Aussie Farm with horses.
Help
I'm looking for 1-2 backpackers (single or a couple) to help with clean up jobs around the house and help with building a horse shelter.
No more than 15 hours work per week.
Share 3 bedroom house with another female (owner).
Must be clean and tidy and strictly non smoker.

Need to cook and pay for own meals.
Languages spoken

Accommodation
Fully renovated 3 bedroom farm house, 1 bedroom available with own bathroom.
What else ...
There is a school bus that can be used by public for a small fee to go to Casino and a public bus to get to Lismore from there etc. Better if you have your own car, there is lots of sightseeing in the area. Close to Nationalpark where you can go on nice walks and see lots of wildlife. The closest beaches are between 1-1.5 hours away (Evans Head, Ballina, Byron Bay).
Tenterfield is a beautiful historic town 1.5 hours drive away to the west.
