  Descrição

  Hi Workawayer's, I’m Karen,
  
  Due to the protection of wildlife, I only take helpers one week per month. October and November 2026 now open.
  
  Help needed now in the bush, and lots of odd jobs.
  Handyman skills may be needed also.
  
  I’m a licensed wildlife carer and a conservationist and my property is certified as "land for wildlife"
  I also have a Certificate 3 in Conservation and land management, and Cert 2 in Horticulture
  
  My place is 11 Acres of real (native) Australian Bush with winding tracks and Rainforest along a rocky creek.
  It contains a few rare native plants and there are lots of different ferns, palms, rainforest plants, vines and very tall gum trees.
  The creek has natural beauty even when it is dry.
  Hundreds of bird calls echo through the valley all day and loads of frogs and insects call each other every evening.
  
  My hand raised Wallabies lay about in the bush on hot days, and emerge in the afternoon for a graze, and wild possum’s roam around at night.
  
  I renovated a site office and turned it into a home to temporarily live in. Now 17 years later it needs a bit or repair but still liveable. And now it’s available for back packers to stay in because i’ve finally moved into the new house.
  A shipping container provides work shop and storage. And a second container is also backpackers accommodation with bunk beds, but there is only a fan for hot nights and blankets for warmth in Winter, so you have be tough and live within the elements.
  
  My workawayers are allowed one square foot of wall space to leave there international mark. The wall is nearly full, and is fun to read.
  
  This property is totally self sufficient which means there are no phone cables, no power lines and no water pipes........a "stand alone" solar system and generator provides electricity, water from tanks and mobile phone and wireless Internet have great reception. BRILLIANT!
  BUT, this does mean restrictions on power and water. So peeing outside is best practice around here!
  Charging equipment may only be done when the sun is on the solar panels, 8am-1pm
  The daily routine is….
  7.00am breakfast,
  8-12 work
  12-1 shower
  1.00 lunch
  Free time
  6pm dinner
  
  The animals you might find here are:
  Red Necked Wallaby's
  Swamp Wallaby's
  Paddymelons
  Koalas
  Thousands of wild birds
  Frogs
  Water Dragons
  Land Mullets
  Goannas
  Bandicoots
  Snakes
  Ticks
  Spiders
  Big Ants
  Leaches and heaps more but it depends on the season.
  
  PLEASE DON'T APPLY IF YOUR NOT INTO HARD WORK OR AFRAID OF CREEPY CRAWLIES!! (insects).
  I only take people for short stays 7- 10 days.
  I can pick you up from Taree train station, then we can go to the shops if you need snacks or alcohol.
  If you have your own car it's only 20 minuets to the beautiful beaches of Forster and Tuncurry, or you can come with me into town on a day off.
  On Days off we usually get groceries and sight seeing done, and we all buy our own lunch to eat at the beach or rock pool.
  
  Contact me for any questions,
  And please include your Australian phone number for quicker communication or whatsapp number.
  
  Cheers,
  Karen.

  Ajuda

  Strong, fit people preferred 25+ that enjoy manual labour.
  Building skills are an advantage.
  If you like to keep fit whilst taking on a challenge this is the place for you.
  Good English is nessasary.
  Work hard in the morning and enjoy the wildlife and property in the afternoon.
  
  The usual tasks are:
  
  Picking up sticks and branches taking them to a fire pile
  Cutting down some small weedy trees and getting them to the fire pile
  Weeding
  Keeping an eye on burn piles
  Moving rocks about in the creek to form a rock pool
  Emptying gutters of leaves
  Track maintenance
  
  And plenty more.
  
  When you come here it's NOT all about the animals, it's working in the bush, to maintain wildlife, habitat.
  
  Also lots of little odd tasks.
