What else ...
We both have experience teaching in museums, schools, zoos and parks. We also have experience in caring for domestic and exotic animals. We've had a wonderful time learning new skills throughout Australia and have greatly enjoyed our time helping on farms. We love to learn new skills and are not afraid to get dirty and try new things!

We really enjoy taking photos of wildlife and interesting landscapes so any opportunity to visit beautiful places is always a treat! We are also rescue level scuba divers, anxious to explore Australia's waters.

How time passes so quickly, we've been meaning to write this post for some time.
We were fortunate to meet Amanda and Daniel during their stay with us. There love for animals was very evident right from the start. They are a compassionate and caring couple which made it easy for our pets to love them and want to share more time with them. … read more

We stayed with Fiona and Paul for only a week, but wish we could've stayed longer! Right from the beginning they made us feel welcome by providing us with a private caravan to sleep in separate from the main volunteer house. We mentioned previous experience working with animals and they immediately assigned us tasks that involved animal care and… read more

Wow, what a wonderful introduction to Workaway! I couldn't have asked for more from Dan and Amanda, an intelligent and lovely young couple.

They were hard working and thorough, thoughtful and considerate and worked really well as a team and separately and did not require supervision. They tackled all sorts of tasks - nothing was too much… read more

We worked for Penny for two weeks and absolutely loved it! Kangaroo Valley is a gorgeous area, with a lot of fantastic hikes and views nearby. It was a wonderful place to spend our free time, but we also had a great time helping out Penny with her property. There was a good variety to the tasks, so we never got bored of doing only one thing. … read more

We stayed with David and Jo-Ann for 2.5 weeks and had a great time! The work was great for getting us moving and keeping us active and it was nice to see the progression of our tasks. There was a ton of variety in the duties we were given and a chance to work on some new skills.
As a vegetarian I was very grateful that I was provided with a… read more

Dan and Amanda worked with us for just over 2 weeks in early February. We recommend them as hard working self starters who are a real pleasure to have around! They did some very hard work spreading roadbase on our paths and clearing and digging drainage channels. For light relief they pulled a lot of lantana, cleared windfall and wire brushed… read more

We stayed for two weeks total and had a great time!

We LOVED the time we spent here! The work was very straightforward and easy to learn. We found that we had plenty of opportunities to learn new skills too! We had a chance to learn how to do some flooring and Dan took a swing at learning to weld as well as woodworking.
The best aspect though,… read more

Dan and I stayed for 3 weeks with Annabel and Anatole and had a fabulous time! We really enjoyed the editing and other odd jobs that came up. The area was also really stunning and we had plenty of time to explore.
They provide a great private granny flat which was separate from the main house, perfect for us! We enjoyed the time we spent with… read more

We stayed with Merry and Peter for over 5 weeks and we had an amazing time! As both a farm and school camp, we had a variety of tasks and learned many new skills. We always had plenty of food to eat, lots of free time to explore their beautiful property and many furry friends to keep us company! It was great to have our own living space so we… read more
