We are busy mustering on our family cattle property and would love some help from wwoofers who are keen to experience how a cattle station operates. We will be walking cattle on bikes and horses to load on trucks during this time, and there are many ways in which you could help out and join in the experience.

If you are available around either:

* 27th of April for a week or 2; or
* the first 2 weeks of June,

and are interested, please let us know. Having your own means of transport would be beneficial, but not essential. We could arrange pickup from Townsville or Charters Towers.


Our contact details are on page 246 of the January 2009, page 239 of the July 2008 and page 229 of the January 2008 WWOOF books. Our entry reads as follows:

There are a variety of jobs available to suit each person's skill base, including cattle work, fencing, gardening, carpentry work, machinery maintenance, HH duties, cooking and child minding.
