I stayed with Pam for 2 weeks and it turned out to be a very special and insightful time for me. The farm is beautiful and it grows on you a little more every day. Long rows of gum trees, fine white sand, and amazing sounds from the wetland at night. The dogs are awesome and i was blessed to be there with the puppies! Beware of the cat named… read more

My partner and I stayed at Pam's farm for a little over two weeks. Even though it was only a short period of time, it felt like turning point for us on our Australian adventure. Pam's energy, open arms and dedication to her farm gave us great meaning. We loved the work; I learned that pulling weeds is a type of meditation and that waking up early… read more

This was definitely the best workaway me and Stephan did in Australia. We spent 2 weeks at Pam's and we can only wish we could have stayed longer. There was so many cuddly dogs on the farm, the work was fair, and the food was just amazing.
Best wishes from me and Stephan, Pam!
We'll definitely come over again when we're back in Oz!!

I stayed for a month but wish I stayed longer because it flew by so fast. The food was amazing, the milky way was the clearest I've ever seen, and the red wine was delicious.

We had a great time at Pam's 100% organic farm and enjoyed every single day. Pam is a fabulous host - very generous and friendly. Being at her place felt like home to us.
We loved the animals - especially the three crazy neurotic dogs. We enjoyed the yummie and fresh food. And after a while we even found that weeding can be fun. ;-)
