Description
We are a young family of 4 (Dave, Doll, Jock and Zoe) living on a beef cattle property out of Mitchell. 8 hours west of Brisbane with daily flights to Roma we are well connected and are surrounded by great people and many social activities/tourist destinations. Our place is just shy of 160,000 acres and we run approx 3000 beef cattle and have people employed to help with this.

We muster by the air and motorbikes a few times a year and have many daily jobs on top of that. These jobs include feeding out dry supplements, molasses, checking bores and water points daily, fencing and general maintenance. Would love to share this wonderful opportunity with anyone interested in experiencing real outback Australia and be able to share in the magical part of the world that we live and choose to work in. We will always provide a welcoming friendly environment for visitors as well as very comfortable accommodation and all food.

Thanks Doll

Laissé par le workawayer (Bridgette) pour l'hôte

I stayed with Doll, Dave , Jock and Zoe back in July and helped with a muster that was happening at the time! Any muster is always a busy time at the property and there were lots of family and stockmen there to help over the 9 days.

While it took a while to get chatting with some of the stockmen (mainly because everyone was confused why a city… read more

Tess was a pleasure to have stay in our home. She was always willing to doing anything that was asked and was genuinely interested in our business and how everything worked. It was a shame she only spent just under 2 weeks with us! All the best with your future travels Tess :)

Filip spent over a month with us and our extended family. He was so eager to learn new things, listened to instructions and was happy to give anything a go.

I went to Jon and Bindys (Davids parents) property for about 4-5 weeks and it was amazing! It was my first experience with workaway and it was better then everything I could expect. Many of the days were pretty long and hard but I learned sooooo much! It really is a great way to learn everything about the Aussie outback live. I also enjoyed the… read more

I had an amazing time in the Western Qld outback. I can't say it was as good as I expected it, course I couldn't even imagine how awesome it would be. There was no day without doing something I've never done before. Everyone, who's interested how the Oz farming XXL works: that's the place to go. In addition to all the amazing "work" - more free… read more

We were on Doll’s property for two weeks but it was too short :(
The first days we were with Bindy, Doll’s mother in law, such a nice woman. And after that Doll came home with her lovely son Jock.
We had such a great time with these people and we would really like to come back one day so we can also meet Doll’s husband David, who wasn’t home the… read more

Lizzy and Rick spent a couple of weeks with us and it was over all too soon! They were so capable, intelligent and forward thinking. Their self of humour was second to none and we miss them greatly. There will always be a house here for them when they wish to return. X
