    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I love to travel and meet other travellers. Play music together and cooking new meals . Kangaroo Island is abundant with wildlife, wallabies, kangaroos, possums, many types of birds . The workawayers will interact with these while on my property. I can teach organic gardening methods and we can use many fruits and vegetables from my garden . There is a hiking trail next to my property so they can experience and learn about the ecology of the island. I am very interested in where they come from aswell.
