Details
Description
Matt and I ( Barbara) have a 5 acre property, which we mainly use to house our rescue animals. Matt is born and bred in this area while I am originally German and came to Australia via Ireland, USA and France. This is our home now and we are constantly looking to improve it.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Workawayers in our place can enjoy the rural lifestyle while being close to town. Being born here Matt knows all the amazing places for fishing, hiking and swimming. I spent extensive time living in other countries and speak three languages. Both of us have seen a lot of the world and like to exchange our experiences.
Help
There are many little projects we need help with such as fencing, building animal shelters, and creating veggie beds. Apart from that, there is always something to fix, a deck to be build or other maintenance work that comes with an old house on lush acreage.

What else ...
A car is absolutely necessary as there is no public transport. This area has beautiful bush walks, many empty beaches, and river and creeks to swim in. Coffs harbour is only a 10 minute drive.
