Description
Our rural property is in the beautiful Yarra Valley. Our property is a nature lovers paradise as they are many native birds and animals including Lyrebirds, Scarlet Robin, Crimson and Eastern Rosellas, Wedge-tailed Eagles , koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, possums and gliders. We are a Wildlife Shelter and care for mainly wombats and soft release possums, kangaroos and wombats.
If you are passionate about animals and have some practical skills to assist with reducing foliage in pre-release enclosures, cleaning current enclosures and collecting grass for wombats, this may be your workaway and we would love to hear from you. We also have a large organic edible garden and this requires preparing for the Spring growing season. Your own car and Working Holiday Insurance is preferable. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Workaways would be encouraged to share an evening meals with us while making their own breakfast and lunch in the caravan we provide for accommodation. Often there a visits to other wildlife shelters that require some assistance.
Workaways can learn about wildlife care, building skills and organic gardening.
We live in an area that have popular tourist attractions that can be explored. A car would be an advantage. -
