    Description

    We (Annika and Nick and our daughter) live on a large farm in south Gippsland.
    We love working on our garden and we are passionate about creating our dream farm with cows, our dog and one retired race horse.
    There are lots of nice local activities such as farmers markets, galleries and cafes.
    We love south Gippsland, we are located approximately 2 hours from Melbourne and 25 minutes from the beach. We are the closest town to Wilson’s Promontory national park. We have amazing beaches nearby. Wilson’s prom can be done as a day trip from our place.
    Inverloch also has beautiful beaches and cute cafes.
    There isn’t public transport but you’re welcome to catch a lift with us when we are doing things or occasionally borrow our car

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We would love workaways to join our family and routine as much as they wish to.
    We would love help on the farm but you don’t need previous experience. so if you’re interested to learn this could be a good opportunity for you.
    Annika loves to cook so food is a big part of our house. We would love it if you can cook once per week so we can try your home cuisine.
    We would love to practice our German and for our daughter to learn German so that would be a bonus.
    We are happy to try and show you our local area.

    Help

    We would like help to care for our cows. We have baby calves that need feeding every day. Or if you help with milking in the morning, you have the whole day for yourself.
    But if you prefer to take on household or nanny tasks that’s okay as well. We are flexible and can come to an arrangement that suits you.
