The Experience

I'm an artist and widow living on a 48-hectare (120-acre) bush property by the Gloucester River, near Barrington Tops. I'm seeking help to maintain this serene place, which needs some TLC. In return, I offer cozy accommodation in a caravan or spare room and provide 3 meals a day. The tasks are physical but rewarding. Couples are welcomed to join this peaceful, creative environment. Come and help care this unique property and enjoy the area!

I had such a special experience staying here. I was able to truly enjoy nature and spend time around animals, which made everything feel peaceful and refreshing. I even got to try swimming and explore the town, where I met and talked with different people.

It was such a joy spending the week with the wonderful and cheerful Tracey. We were so happy that everyone enjoyed the dinners every night! It was also a joy celebrating Tracey's birthday with all the friends.
The biggest surprise was right before we left—thank you so much for taking me to your friend's place to see the rescued wild wallabies, especially that tiny baby one! It was truly amazing. I really hope to see you all again, Tracey, Jahr, and Justin!

Tracey is so accommodating and has lots of different jobs for different skill sets. She's fair with hours and leaves you to explore the area. Going into town once or twice a week is fun. There's a gentleman that is always in need of work nearby and he's happy to pay you for your time :). Just ask about John!

Though my stay was short, I loved hearing Tracey’s stories and music, and seeing the beautiful life she lives in Gloucester.

My stay with Tracey was really good.
Everything was well organized, and I felt comfortable and welcome from the first day. The place is surrounded by nature, so it was a great opportunity to slow down and experience a simple Australian lifestyle.

I enjoyed good conversations, practiced my English, met some locals, and spent time around animals and beautiful scenery.
It was a very positive and valuable experience overall — I’m glad I came
