    Description

    Hardworking although compassionate.


    Hi, I’m Martina and I would love to welcome you to be a part of our journey as my husband, 5 year old daughter and I improve our hobby farm to slow down the clock and enjoy the world that animals play a significant part in. Working with our animals to provide us with a functional, sustainable food supply.

    Our 60 property in located in the beautiful Finch Hatton Gorge, just 1 hour from Mackay Qld.

    Finch Hatton Gorge is in the Eungella National Park and has some of the best fresh water swimming holes in the area, an abundance of wildlife and prestine rainforests.

    The living quarters comprises of a 1 bedroom cabin with seperate building nearby with toilet and camp kitchen. You have the ability to cook your own meals or join us and cook together. The bathroom of the cabin is still yet to be tiled so bathroom is at the main house.

    Use our home as a base and explore the beautiful region of the Pioneer Valley and Eungella National Parks.

    If you happen to know how to tile please apply. The visitors quarters is waiting on the bathroom to be finished and I would love some guidance to make it complete.


    If you are easy going, don’t mind getting your hands dirty and kind then please apply.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    As a child my family welcomed WOOFERS into our family home and the experience of interacting with people from other countries/ backgrounds / beliefs was certainly enriching - something I would like to offer to my daughter.

    We hope to offer the exact experience to our workaways.
