    Description

    Urgent update: We have just returned from 3 months travelling in Europe. We would really appreciate some help ASAP, to get everything looking neat and tidy again. We especially need help in the garden and possibly clearing a space to put two water tanks. We can provide 2 large beds in separate rooms, so it is possible to have more than 1 person stay. At the moment we do not have a spare car, so it would be best if you have a car, or are happy to stay on the farm as the closest public transport is 20 minutes from our house. We recommend work to be completed early in the mornings or in the afternoons when it is nice and cool, but it's really up to you. 4 hours per day, 5 days a week. If you want to do it all in 2 days, you are welcome. We are very flexible. We have a swimming pool you can use whenever you want and the rooms have fans.
    We are a family of 5 living on a small farm in a beautiful remote valley. We have our 2 sons and another young man living with us in their own accommodation. They are 18 and 19 years of age (we seriously need a new family photo). We are very busy and always appreciate some help. We have experience as hosts and as workawayers. We are looking for someone to help with some gardening and house work. We currently have 10 cows, and 4 cats. Vegetarians and people with allergies may not be the best fit. We try to produce as much of our own food as possible. We have accommodation inside our house - 1 Queen bed and a King bed in separate rooms.

    We ask that you help out around the farm/house for 20 hours per week. You are free to choose your times and do what ever you want with the rest of your time. We have a swimming pool that you are welcome to use. We are a 20 minute drive from Gympie and about 1 hour from some of the most beautiful beaches in Australia. There are plenty of tourist activities to do in the area.

    We live in a sub-tropical climate. This means that for around 9 months of the year the daily temperatures are in the 30s. Please take this into account since some of the work required is outside.

    We are a Christian family that holds to our values. We are happy to welcome all to our farm but ask that you respect our values. If you have any questions, I try to respond asap.
