  Description

  You are welcome to come and enjoy our Farm stay in South West Victoria. Autumn is a lovely time to be here.
  
  We are currently putting in new wildlife-protection fencing and once it rains we will be planting trees to encourage koala, bush mammals and kangaroos back to our farm and could use your help.
  
  We have four horses, a cat and three dogs in need of loving care each day as well as pet sheep.
  
  Language and food exchange is encouraged. We love to try new food if you love to cook. Vegan, vegetarians and meat-eaters are all welcome.
  
  I'm a traveling veterinarian and happy to have company so there's lots of opportunity to travel and visit the south-west of Victoria including the surf-coast near Geelong, or the goldfields at Ballarat, see whales at Warrnambool and visit the Grampians mountain range.
  
  Included in your stay is your own private room within the house, all food, fuel (diesel) for your car if you have one or reasonable use of our vehicle. The house is comfortable with a wood fire and split system. Shared bathroom.
  
  We hope you can come and enjoy the peace on our farm and look forward to hearing from you.

  What else ...

  Best to have your own vehicle as there is little access to public transport and lots to see in our region.
  You can also travel with me on my weekly rounds throughout the south west.
  Nearest pick up for public transport is bus to Lake Bolac or Mortlake or train to Terang train station. I can also collect you from Geelong, Ballarat or Warrnambool on my regular runs.
