Hi,
I am looking for a PP host in the NSW, QLD Or WA for January 2009. Let me tell you a little about myself. I come from Wales in the UK but I was born in Central America. I came to OZ on working holiday visa and now I would like to stay longer to enjoy this beautiful country. I am honest, hard-working, very friendly and easy to get along with. I am willing to try new things and very eager to learn new skills. I especially love animals and nature. I have no problems milking cows, doing some gardening and learning more about organic farming. I can ride horses although I am a little rusty, would love to get back on a horse again! I am no chef but I do love to cook, so I can help in that area too!!I speak Spanish, French and a little Italian. I also love children and have lots of experience working with them as a teacher and childcare worker. I love meeting new people and new cultures. I love the idea of wwoofing as it's a great exchange of work and pleasure. So, don't be shy, if you can help me please contact me and I am sure we could have a brilliant exchange experience together!

My email: maggie69@hotmail.com

I hope to hear from you soon,

Merry Xmas and A Happy Wwoofing New Year!

To January Woofer - I am a female new host living on a small farm 3 hours south of Sydney Nsw - near Goulburn ...... located close to an historic village that is very English in style. I run a horse and sheep stud and have many pets and live in a beautiful natural scenic valley. I want a person to assist me with general chores and am extremely open to all cultures - And maybe able to take someone for up to three months on sponsorship if the person is suitable. I live in an old Australian settlers shack which continually needs renovating for work and for pleasure I have some sulky horses that we drive around the surronding 10,000 acres of country properties. It absolutely great !! But maybe not what you are looking for ??
Best of luck anyway ......

Hi Maggie,

My name is Tracey and my partner is Dave, we are on a cattle station north of Carnarvon and we would be happy to have you here. I am currently breaking in my young gelding and would appreciate someone to ride my old mare with me. Also we are looking for an extra hand around the house and garden and there is plenty of opportunity to get out and about on the station. We are hoping to have someone here from anytime now until early March. Our entry is on page 289 of the January 09 edition of the Wwoof book. So if your still looking for somewhere to go we would love to hear from you.
