Description
We are a fun, friendly, and welcoming family of five living alongside the river in Victoria . We currently have 6 lovely horses (3 ridden) a German shepherd, chickens, cats, sheep, cattle and pigs. We would love to host an allrounder such as feed/general care for horses, taking the kids for a horse ride in the bush, water plants, feed chickens, light cleaning duties, basic garden maintenance, entertain children for an hour after school with a craft activity or bike ride ect. This will amount to about 20 hours per week. There is always something going on and plenty of variety/time in the day for leisure activities. In exchange for your help, we offer comfortable accommodation, all meals, phone plan if needed, wifi, streaming services and the chance to be part of our country lifestyle while enjoying a beautiful Australian setting. I am happy to show you the local area and get you in touch with other aupairs/backpackers in the area.
We have hosted au pairs and helpers before and are happy to provide you with references. We value kindness, reliability, and a good sense of humour.
Volunteers will not be doing any tasks related to our business

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We can offer a nice, safe, and welcoming home to stay in, with a private room and Wi-Fi provided.

There is plenty of Aussie wildlife to see, and our hope is to give you a truly memorable experience of Australian farm life.
