Detalhes
Descrição
We are a family living on a 150 acre beef cattle farm on the scenic Mornington Peninsula. We are close to Mornington and near to several beaches one and half hours from Melbourne.
We seek help in the house and gardens. In return you will experience Australian farm life.
Horse riding opportunity on stock horse for skilled riders.
As in most parts of Victoria, there is plenty to see and do around the Mornington Peninsula, we can share our knowledge of the area, sites and local food and wine.
We have travelled widely in Australia and internationally and enjoy meeting people from around the world and delight in sharing our knowledge and experience of life here on the Mornington Peninsula.
Each week we would appreciate 25 hours of help for 7 days of quality food and accommodation and share in the preparation of meals. Happy to consider dietary requirements. We are not vegetarians but don't mind if you are.
Our approach to the tasks is fairly relaxed, do not expect detailed instructions minute by minute, rather please ask if in doubt as to what needs to be done.
Must be fluent in English.
We require to skype before agreeing any placement.
Please ensure that your skills are desribed accurately, then neither workawayers or hosts will be disappointed.
For your own comfort and safety please bring sun hat and sturdy footwear suitable for outside tasks .Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado
