Description

Hello,
We are Chloe and Dan, from the UK, travelling around Australia from now until late September 2025.

Back in the UK I’m an ecologist and environmental educator, with a love for horse riding, climbing, snowboarding, and animals. I have trained ponies from being unhandled to ridden, and can ride from 12hh upwards. I’ve worked abroad in a variety of countries leading students on mammal survey expeditions, and previously ran the internship programme at a wild animal rescue centre in Indonesia, which included animal care, help in the vet clinic and animal enrichment, alongside all my people management duties. I am also a qualified yoga teacher, but have yet to teach - and would love to start!

Dan is a panel beater and is very handy! He has recently converted a trailer into a mobile soft-release enclosure suitable for brushtail possums. Dan also loves the outdoors, animals and keeping fit, and we train in partner acrobatics together.

We have a 4x4 that we are travelling in/living in when not at a workaway, and neither of us smoke. We don't have any particular dietary requirements.

We have been to some wonderful workaways in the south west, and spent a month volunteering at Mosswood Wildlife in Victoria. We have been to some lovely workaways in Tasmania, and just finished with a horsey family in East Gippsland. We are now working our way up the mainland east coast, with a view to being in the NT/north WA in August, back in Perth mid September.

We are on the lookout for short term employment 6-8 weeks somewhere on the east coast (anywhere between Byron and Cairns), so if you are looking for a house sitter, or we could come to an arrangement where we can work alongside our workaway duties please do reach out.
