    Description

    Danny and I have a 100acre property 3 hrs north of Perth (Dongara) We have just purchased 20 cows . We need some workers to assist with gardening, basic tasks and help around the house, etc. My husband and I have a small business but we are able to work from our home most of the time. We love the hobby farm life, growing our own produce and then cooking it up for family and friends who visit. Our background is hospitality so socialising is what we do best. We recently had an Italian sausage making day with our children, their partners and our grandchildren. (My husbands mother was Italian, so we love everything Italian) . Dongara has lovely beaches, quaint shops and cafes. It is known for the amazing fishing and lobsters. We have a boat and often out on the ocean with family and friends. There are lots of historical sites just north and east of Dongara, which makes for good day trips. Geraldton is a bigger town just 30 minutes north .
