  Description

  Enjoy life on a hobby farm in a stunning setting in the middle of the Bega Valley on the south coast of New South Wales, while helping with the day-to-day work of looking after cattle, sheep, goats, geese and chickens. We also have a variety of projects to improve our farm infrastructure and to rehabilitate and re-vegetate damaged and vulnerable parts of our rural properties. We are a laidback semi-retired couple with plenty of animal companions and just as many gardening, landscaping and building projects. Our main farm is 15 minutes drive from Bega and we can provide transport from anywhere in the local region.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We take every opportunity to participate in local community and music/arts events and would happily include you in whatever is on. Back on the farm, we can spend as much or as little time together as suits you ... we are happy to share our own experiences and skills, and would be honoured to learn about yours. We are both artists and love all genres of music, particularly world music and dance. We would aim to spend at least one day of each week with Workawayers exploring local museums, beaches and culturally-significant places. Evenings are usually spent watching a movie or listening to music via our big TV with surround sound.

  Aide

  We are very flexible on what you will contribute while you stay with us ... a lot will depend on your own skills and capacity, plus length of stay, etc! We have tagged all the things that could be part of your experience with us, although our primary goal is to advance our Eco-projects and land rehabilitation efforts. Animal care is part of our routine
  
  One constant activity in our lives is participating in a food re-use/rescue program that assists a local charity while also providing feed for our livestock. It isn't difficult work and is quick to learn.
  
  Our farms can utilise many diverse skills and experience .... however, even a novice will have plenty to do, as long as you have the willingness, energy and interest to start with. As a rough guide, we would gladly provide accommodation and meals for approx. 20 hours of 'unskilled' help a week. But happy to adapt this to suit your situation/interests...

  Hébergement

  You will be staying in your own self-contained living quarters. This is a modern, registered caravan with a comfy double bed, oven and refrigerator. Bathroom and laundry is shared. Meal arrangements can be negotiated, but ideally main meals (lunch and dinner) would be mostly shared.

  Autres infos...

  We travel into Bega most days and can help with your transport. Also please be aware that, for most of 2023, our region has been in severe drought so was very dry and dusty ... so we have been busier than usual with feeding our animals and trying to keep them healthy. Now, after record amounts of rain, we have to repair tracks and dams damaged by water flooding down our hills.

  We have plenty of space for setting up campervans and caravans. We can't offer unlimited power as we have a stand-alone solar system, but it has some reserve capacity on sunny days.

  Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux

  This is strictly limited to highly-socialised and placid pets that can adjust quickly to being around a wide variety of very quiet and trusting animals, including poultry.

  Nombre d'heures attendues

  We are flexible with this, but, as a guide, for full board and lodging, we would like approx 20 hours per week (e.g. 4 hours a day, 5 days a week), but very negotiable esp for skilled, experienced help. Shorter stays are possible but at least one week is
