The Experience
After over 10 YEARS hosting our wonderful VOLUNTEER helpers, we are selling our much loved rain forest property. So we need helpers now to help us tidy up for SALE of our property and organise for MOVING. As David has just come out of hospital and is not the fit young man that he once was, you will be experienced in all the skills that we need, and a self started because he won't be able to supervise as much as he used to. Two volunteers ideal!

A couple owns a beautiful property in a the home, far from downtown. You can only go out on your days off with a car. The property is dedicated to wildlife conservation, providing a serene place to connect with nature and yourself. The couple shares their knowledge of Buddhism, offers delicious food, and provides a comfortable home. The work is hard but flexible, allowing you to choose your schedule and tasks. On free days, they take you to beautiful natural spots. They are knowledgeable about culture and nature, especially birds, which you can see from the house.

Jo-Ann and David are friendly and welcoming people. Work is sometimes hard especially when it is really hot. Be aware that it is really far from everything, so not much things to do after work hours.

It is a place surrounded by nature and wildlife, far from the city, a town or just a business to buy things. They both know a lot about Australia's native fauna and flora. The work is hard, but if you like being in contact with nature and physical effort, you will have a good time. We loved the work because we saw a lot of native flora and fauna. You are 10 kilometers from the nearest town and there are no buses, so if you want to buy something it should've on your day off, where they used to buy groceries at the town. if you are a good eater, we recommend you bring extra snacks.
