  • Description

    Description

    We live in a rural area in the Northern Rivers in NSW, just south of the Gold Coast. We're a family of 5 who are just embarking in the massive project of building our forever home. We live on 7.5 acres, subtropical weather and have a dam. We need help maintaining our land, cutting weeds and chopping/burning wood. We also have a caravan where workawayers can retreat on their own. Part of the project will also include helping us build a shower and composting toilet next to this caravan :) También hablamos español, et on parle français (un peu)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are a mixed family, husband is Aussie and I am Chilean, he works on IT and I'm a massage therapist. Our children are fully bilingual too. We've travelled the world extensively (2 and a half years travelling the world, pre-kids). Apart from exchanging food and accommodation for help, we can also exchange massage treatments, you can use our truck to go into town if you don't have a vehicle of your own. Our nearest town is just 15 minutes away by car. You'll most likely be around one of us, so there will be plenty of conversations :)

    We need people who can help us rake and collect all the wood that has been left from the massive clearance we've just done. We'll also be building your own outdoor shower and toilet next to the caravan where you'll be staying in.

    My french has been getting a bit rusty since caring for our children (no time to study!) so it'd be amazing to practice it

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have a caravan that comes with its own kitchen, fridge and double bed. Plenty of space to put away your stuff.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We are a vegetarian family, so all the meals you'll be offered will be vegetarian, but you're welcomed to buy and cook your own meat in the caravan. While there's no toilet next to the caravan, you'll have to share our toilet and shower, which are all outside as we also live in a caravan. No tobacco smokers near us or inside the caravan, please. Pets aren't allowed inside the caravan, but they can come along. It's a big open space, so it's under your own discretion to bring them. We're also full off-grid, so you need to be aware of your power usage. Normally it's all good, but in rainy/cloudy days, we have limited power.
