Ben is a geologist and has rich background in rocks and farming. Hana runs the farm and accommodation. We love sharing this beautiful farm with visitors and hope to provide an wonderful experience for anyone who wishes to workaway here.

We want our visitors to feel like they are part of our family and will cook/provide all meals. If visitors would like to cook they are also more than welcome (:
What else ...
Things to do:
Explore our farm. We are uniquely located 25min from Hobart and our property of 650 acres is covered in bushland and rolling hills.
Explore Richmond village. Beautiful old buildings, lots of cool little shops and some great cafes.
The Coal Valley is full of vineyards so if you like wine you can book a bus tour for tastings.
Bonorong Wildlife park is a 15 min drive away and is a refuge for native animals. A great way to see them up close, including the Tasmanian devil.
Bus to Hobart - Kunyani bushwalking, MONA experience, so many amazing restaurants featuring local produce (Tassie is renowned for it's produce).
Mt Field National Park is stunning. We are always looking for a reason to visit so happy to drive there on the weekend.
