Descrição
We're a friendly, busy family in country NSW.
Two of our boys are away at boarding school, with one at home missing the backyard cricket, basketball, soccer, rugby.
We took a little break from Workaway while juggling COVID home schooling.
We're ready to welcome visitors again and can offer plenty of space.
Our home is on a big (4,500 acre) research farm where Guy works. It is around 15km from our small town Narrabri so it suits well if you have a car or are happy to join our regular routine.
Ingrid works as a rural consultant and also runs our cherry orchard in Mudgee (3hrs away) ... we travel regularly between the two farms.
Helping can include gardening, housework, building projects, etc depending on your skills.
December is madly busy for us at the Mudgee orchard with cherry harvest, sales and preserving. We open the farm for pick-your-own visitors in season. We don’t host workawayers in Mudgee during the cherry season. We do employ seasonal staff with accommodation there (December).
Our home has a big beautiful garden, always in need of some love and care. Fantastic views of the Nandewar Ranges.
Kangaroos, birds and a friendly dog.
Narrabri is a great place to explore the Australian bush - especially Mt Kaputar National park. It's a major cropping area (cotton and grains). We like to take guests on some local adventures when time allows.
We'll share with you our family meals which you'll find are healthy and varied - we also ask you to cook your favourite meals for us too as food is such an important part of a cultural exchange.

Ajuda
There are always things to be done around the house and garden and we can make a plan to suit your skills and interests.
We're keen to meet helpers who can share their culture with us, help out with gardening, housework and projects. Outside of our busiest times we're pretty flexible about what projects you do - though usually it will involve some gardening!

I spent 5 weeks with Ingrid and her family, which was a really nice time.
For 10 days I helped Ingrid with their cherry orchard. We pruned the cherry trees, which was really exhausting but interesting and a nice experience of working in nature.
The three boys are really nice and open-minded, did a few runs with me… read more
