Descrição
Hi, I'm Nich

I'm always looking for fun and energetic Workawayers.

I live in a beautiful rainforest an hour from Melbourne. If you enjoy peace, tranquility, the great outdoors with a little bit of luxury, and you are prepared to roll your sleeves up and do some work then I would be happy to have you join me.

I have three lovely dogs, chickens, a couple of sheep living with me on about 5 acres.

My house, which was originally set up as a bed and breakfast has two bedrooms for workaway guests - both with ensuite and doors to balcony where you can hear the creek run by.

I live a relaxed existence and appreciate the help I get. Lots of jobs to do this summer including moving a shed, building a retaining wall, updating the veggie patch and general garden work.

Enjoy your day.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
My place is very private and set amongst 150ft gum trees and tree ferns, there are two streams running through the property. If you love nature and being outdoors this is a great place for you.

I am well travelled and very open minded. I don't care about your choice of spirituality or sexuality, or your cultural background. I do seek respectful and honest people though who are happy to get their hands dirty and enjoy working outside.

I travel sometimes and can also work late so being able to enjoy both time socially with others and time alone is a bonus!
Ajuda
Jobs are varied and can include help with ongoing building on the house, gardening, collecting and splitting wood to keep us warm, and general clean ups which are required on a larger property.

If you love animals you are also to welcome to help with their feeding too, but only for those interested.
