Descripción
We have dedicated our lives to saving / helping Australian wildlife. Our home is full of Australian animals - mainly kangaroos and birds with the occasional wombat, echidna, lizard or emus. All the animals have been rescued and either have injuries or are babies whose mothers have been killed.

We also have a large Aboriginal art gallery (with art, didgeridoos and artefacts) / opal shop / display underground opal mine and museum as well as the Kangaroo Orphanage in the main street of Coober Pedy, the OPAL capital of the world. Free didgeridoo lessons.

**************************************************************

We are in need of help to carry out some general maintenance work, mainly in the kangaroo yards and some help washing walls and cupboards in the house ready for painting. If you can use a paint brush that would be handy as we have painting that needs doing as well.

You must be prepared to stay for a minimum of 8 days.

If you can help and have an eye for detail please contact us.

Please advise your current location and tell us your previous work history; paid or voluntary work here in Australia or your home country.

**************************************************************

We are always looking for help with a variety of tasks - DIY, cleaning the yard, some light construction work, fencing, gardening, painting, helping out in the gallery, household tasks and/or general housekeeping. Being able to operate power tools, do some concreting or tiling and tasks without supervision will be considered a big asset. There is always something that needs doing around the place.

Your hours vary according to the weather, averaging approximately 5 hours per day with plenty of time off to explore Coober Pedy.

We have a property in the Flinders Ranges that we are renovating/fencing when we can and there may be an opportunity to work explore there as well.

We had a wonderful experience at Jo's and Terry's place! We spent 12 days with them and the kangaroos, we learnt so much about wildlife and kangaroos care, but also about aboriginal artists. Work was fair and various, we helped cleaning the kangaroos place and the gallery, did some gardening, helped organizing an event to raise funds for the roos.… read more

I had a such a great stay with Terry, Jo and the kangaroos! I stayed only 5 days but it was so memorable. It was very special to stay with them, get an insight into their life as wildlife recuers and life in Coober Pedy, a special small town. I worked about 4-5 hours every day which wasn't too hard, mostly cleaning the art gallery and the kangaroo… read more

We had a lovely three weeks at Jo and Terrys, always something to do and learn! We learnt how to look after little joeys, make picture frames, recognise good opal, among many things. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly, and we're truly blessed to be welcomed into this couple's home. Got to see the area and meet some other locals too! A great workaway!… read more

I was really excited about this workaway, but when I arrived I learned that they constantly smoke inside. I personally do not smoke, but when others do I've always been around people that go outside to a well ventilated area. I really thought this would be the case here as they have so many rescue animals hopping around the house, but… read more

We had an amazing week at Terry's and Jo's. We've learned so much about Kangaroos, Wildlife and Art from both of them. It was a wonderful experience to hold, feed and cuddle the little Joeys.
We weren't supervised all the time, but when we needed help, Terry was always there. He even took time to show as around Coober Pedy and his mine.

Ciara and Alex were just what we needed. Beautiful people, pleasant, well mannered and with a sense of humour. No job was too big or small for them. We can highly recommend them to all.
It was an absolute pleasure sharing our home with you both. All the kangaroos and us two are missing you. We look forward to the day you return. xxxxx

We had an amazing experience at Jo and Terry's! Taking care of the kangaroos was a truly special experience, and one that we'll never forget. There was plenty of variety in the work we did, and we always had plenty of free time too. Terry made the time to show us around his mine and brought us to Crocodile Harry's which we really appreciate. We're… read more
