Look after my cats and chicken while I'm away in Cookernup, Australia

Details

  Description

  I work in the desert for 1 week at a time with 1 week off.
  I have a tiny farm in Cookernup WA with 3 cats and 1 chicken who need care while I'm gone.
  
  Camping is allowed for 3 nights at a time.
  If you sleep elsewhere you can still come during the day.
  I also grow some vegetables which you're welcome to share as well as free eggs.
  There is a train line nearby but that is the only noisy thing. You get used to it. Life is otherwise very peaceful and a great opportunity to relax and read or do art or yoga. I love spiritual people but i also enjoy adventurers. My area has actually a lot of fun things to do if you like to socialise.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I am learning mandarin and Spanish but my family are very old school Aussie which means we all know how to handle snakes, ride horses, crack a stockwhip and speak Aussie slang.
  When I am home, can show you the best beaches in WA
  Also introduce you to Aussie queer people in Perth city, about an hour's drive away.
  I can show you some bush tucker and I recommend meeting Aboriginal people, who are the original guardians of the land. They have amazing philosophy and a visit with them is a must do if you want to understand Australia

  Help

  Must be good with animals, you'll be cleaning poop with a shovel (task only takes 5mins)
  Must be OK with simple accommodation and cats sleeping on or near your bed.
  2 of my cats are rescued and are timid so please spend some time chilling with them so they get used to humans
