Description
Hi there,
A little bit about us; We don't take life to seriously and we love a good laugh, we are both down to earth, we believe no one is better than the next person, we are in our fifties and my daughter is at Uni and comes home in holidays, my son is at boarding school, so he is only home in school holidays as well, we enjoy meeting people from all over the world and sharing our piece of paradise, in the true outback of Australia with red dirt and beautiful sunsets, there's 64,000 acres here, with lots of Kangaroos, Emu's, sheep, goats & cows. We love animals and always have lots of pets like dogs, cats, horses, a donkey, alpacas, goats, sheep, chickens to take care of, we have 4 cabins and have just started a farm stay, we take caravan guest too but have not had many guests yet.
I am a life coach and amazon bestselling author of; Never Underestimate A Woman part 1, part 2 and a book I co-author in called She Speaks (stories of trauma to triumph), part 3 of my trilogy has just been released. It brings me great joy, knowing that sharing my story is helping and inspiring others.
I also run women's retreats in the cooler months and I co host on the local radio station once a week.
We are non- smokers.
We live 84 kilometers from Bourke in western NSW
We have Internet & Telstra mobile service.
We'd love some help with all the farm jobs and look forward to meeting you and showing you the outback way of life.
Love and gratitude
Heather

You will get the true insight to life on a large farm in the outback of Australia, I'm happy to coach you by sharing my knowledge on Life coaching, good vibrations & positive programing.
Help
We would love some help anytime, we will be grateful if you could help with house/ cabin cleaning, assisting in feeding the pets and helping around the farm with general farm tasks like; fixing fences, handling sheep and goats, when we are working with them, weeding our organic garden, that we happily share our farm produce from, we are creating a pool area at our retreat/ cabin area and need help planting plants and building a fence around it.
2 weeks or longer, stays are better for us.
I enjoy cooking & I'm happy to cater for you. We eat mostly meat style meals but it's no problem if your a vegetarian as long as your not offended by us eating meat, you will be eating with us in the main house unless you are traveling with a van or camper van and choose to cater for yourselves.
You will have separate accommodation in a near new two bedroom air conditioned cottage, some times shared with other visitors.

What else ...
Bourke has a tourist center, there is a river boat cruise, Mt Oxley lookout & some National parks.
Country link has a daily train service from Sydney to Dubbo then a bus on to Bourke.
We have had a wonderful experience with helpers over the years & made many good friends. We enjoy learning about other peoples lives & being open minded is so important, I want my children to understand that the world is huge & there is not just Australia & our way of life.
