Left by host (Welcoming Workawayers to our ...) for Workawayer ()

Zac came to us in early July 2025 with his two friends, Noé and Baptiste. Initially, the plan was for them to come just for one week to pick up about a kilometre of large, old hardwood fence posts from our smaller farm, cart them all back to our principal farm, and chop them up into manageable firewood. What ended up happening was that they… read more finished this job in lightning speed, including immaculately cleaning out the old woodshed and stacking their chopped wood as if it were an art installation.

By the end of the week, it was quite clear that we didn’t want them to go anywhere, and they, thankfully, didn’t want to leave. They ended up staying with us for three wonderful, seriously fun and highly productive months throughout winter (with fires burning every night and wood stores continuously restocked) and into spring.

Turning to Zac specifically: Zac is a highly skilled and fully qualified Certificate III carpenter with an excellent design sense and a calm, focused manner. His English is at an advanced level, he’s fantastic company, and he has a wonderfully kind heart. We felt Zac naturally took on the role of “big brother” — he’s got that natural maturity and kindness. He woke up every day with a smile and approached every task, big or small, with good humour and a positive attitude.

Some of his other jobs during his time here included: replacing hinges on a door in the garden shed; cleaning my car inside and out; moving a huge number of boxes and pieces of furniture to storerooms (including up and down very steep staircases); bringing all the contents of the barn at our smaller property to the barn at our principal property; vacuuming; taking a ute load of wood to our beach house and stacking it; dead-heading all of the protea bushes in our garden there and bringing them back to the burn pile on the farm; clearing the working farmyard and building/burning a bonfire there; catching and releasing a possum that was up in the roof; and taking numerous rubbish bins to the local transfer station once a week.

Then, on top of all of these time-consuming and extremely helpful tasks, probably the two greatest gifts Zac gave us were:

1) Using his carpentry and building skills to completely renovate an old bedroom with an existing but decommissioned ensuite (now known as The Frenchies’ Room). This transformation included a stunning wood-panelled feature wall, matching ensuite cabinetry, a new mantelpiece, new bathroom fittings, an immaculate paint job, plush carpet, and the bed moved in — making the room fully functional just a day before the boys returned to France.

2) Transforming what had always been the old attic and roof access space into a beautiful living room with a mezzanine bedroom. It’s truly incredible. Fully insulated, with repurposed old Victorian hinges on cleverly designed door hatches for continued roof access, the space is now lined with wooden panelling. It has a built-in staircase up to the mezzanine bedroom area, a feature wall to match that of the renovated bedroom downstairs, and well over a hundred years of dust washed away, resulting in a warm, cosy, self-contained area that’s worthy of a magazine spread.

Zac became our chief fire-lighter throughout winter, ensuring our main living space was always warm and cosy at the end of the day. He’s also a hugely talented artist and drew us a beautiful sketch of a koi carp, which we’ve had framed, and it will hang in The Frenchies’ Room.

Zac has been an absolute joy to have with us. He’s kind, thoughtful, polite, well-mannered, hardworking, incredibly capable, a perfectionist, and always brought good energy into the house. If you’re reading this because Zac has applied to stay or work with you — just say yes. You’d be lucky to have him.

We are sincerely going to miss all three fabulous Frenchmen. They’re the best and will always have a place to call home here with us. I know we’ll see each other again.

Thank you so much, Zac, for everything you’ve done — you’re exceptional, and we’ll miss you. x
