Descripción
We have been living on our 50 acres covered very luxuriant hills with beautiful views to the Coral Sea for nearly 30 years now.
We love this land with its creeks, trails and subtropical native forest, 6 dams and 8 paddocks for our small herd of 7 to 8 Shahiwals from Pakistan. They live on the property and help us to organically maintain it clean.

We are retirees in our seventies. We love visiting our families and friends in Europe, Canada, the States, French Indies and Australia. We are friendly, warm and open people enjoying very much the alternative ways of life in our area.

We want to share the beauty and the quality of living which our land can offer to other Nature lovers, land carers and Star gazers like us.
We need help to maintain it clean and healthy, especially in these days of challenging climate changing conditions.

GARDENING - FARMSTAY HELP - GENERAL MAINTENANCE
We have orchards with citrus trees, and various flowers, herbs and plants in many beds and gardens around our home and our Guests house, all of which needing great care and maintenance.

We would like to receive the help of 1 or 2 Workawayers over a minimum of 1 weekend to a maximum of 3 weeks, who would like to help us in exchange for
1) living in a beautiful place,
2) sharing good healthy organic food with us from local markets in our area
3) for 2 to 4 hours a day during weekdays, at their own pace, in their own time
