Our beautiful lush valley is abundant with wildlife, creeks, dams and surrounded by bush ! Permaculture principles apply with the growing of our food, nourishment of the land, animals and ourselves.    

Coquon Farm is a small (90 acre ) property on the banks of the Hunter River just north of Maitland, NSW.  

Hi and thank you for reading our profile.  Our beautiful cattle farm is set in the picturesque Eurobodalla Shire. We raise Angus/Friesian cows, our herd usually runs at about 35 cows, heifers and steers.  We have one lovely Limousine bull who loves our girls and gives us beautiful calves usually in July/August if we get the timing right!  We use a strip feeding method allowing the cows to graze in a given area for a day or two before moving them into the next "strip".  This is done using electric tape and secure insulated poles for the tape to pass through once knocked into the ground.  Not an arduous task at all and all part of stopping the paddocks from being trampled.  We routinely inject our herd for intestinal worms etc. to keep them comfortable and prevent disease; we also drench them topically for lice.  We have a stock yard, pens, gates and a cattle crush to enable safe handling when performing these tasks. We have approximately 30 free range chooks and a rooster which we feed twice daily with top shelf grain and left over vegetable and fruit scraps.  Eggs are collected daily of course from their nesting boxes in their chicken coop and sold to local friends.  The chooks have a very large area in which to peck and scratch, including a 3 tier orchard of fruit and citrus. We grow as many vegetables as we can in our netted 3 tier vegetable garden using cow, chicken and horse manure for fertiliser.  We have a small compost heap but are in the process of purchasing materials to build a 3 bay compost area, sufficient for the tractor to turn the compost regularly.  We have many tanks for rain water that is utilised on the gardens and for washing and showering.  We also have a bore which retrieves mineral water from the aquifer; this is used to pump water into the cattle troughs and don't they love it.  We have a very large solar array on two roofs from which we draw our electricity although we do not rely solely on this for our energy needs - so there is always electricity even if the sun isn't shining. Our property is bordered on one side by the Tuross River and yes we have a swimming hole and sandy beach to enjoy. Our two beautiful quarter horses Kingsley and Jet are free to roam in their own paddock, complete with water trough, stables (under construction as we speak).  They are ridden by both Rob and I and are frequent visitors at the gate, begging a few pieces of liquorice, a carrot and apple. I am a passionate gardener and have the daily walk around all the garden beds with either a cup of tea or glass of wine in hand to inspect for bugs, weeds etc.  depending on the time of day.    

10 beautiful acres at Belli Park, Qld, only 30 min from Noosa. We run horse facilitated learning  programs for at risk youth and all abilities.

We provide a stimulating opportunity to work with members of the community and are enthusiastic about our WWOOFers because we appreciate the opportunity for mutual exchange.

We are gradually restoring a neglected farm, a beautiful 180 acres bordering NP and close to beaches. Low-tech hard work & BD preparations are slowly producing results on our pastures. Our animals are part of the family - Josephine the milking cow, a small beef herd, chooks, ducks & sometimes pigs. Our vegie garden is established, the orchard in the making. Most of our food is produced on the farm, but fishing trips supplement our diet, which is meaty, tasty & healthy. Work incl work in pastures, weeding, raking, fencing, help in vegie garden & orchard, feeding animals and building projects. Own transport preferable to take advantage of the beautiful surrounding area. Caravan accom for a single or a couple. No children. Meat-based meals. Non-smokers only.

We are an easy going couple who enjoy the great outdoors, mostly sunsets going down over the ocean. We travelled around Australia many moons ago and have ended up in a place we did not expect but dreamed of. We love spending time with our 2 dogs (Labrador's) and coming up with many types of different recycling based projects to make Ecostay's a unique place to visit! We are lucky enough to enjoy our own private beach and are constantly amazed at the ever changing sunsets over the horizon! We are environmentally conscious and are creating 1 bedroom self contained 'up cycled' cottages which provide privacy and a total escape from the real world. You can expect to hear the sound of the waves and the beautiful star covered sky at night. It is so great to have people come from all over the world to come and visit our place, we have both travelled extensively over the years and believe we have a place that is very unique. For some reason its only recently occurred to me to invite woofers here..based on some amazing experiences we had on our own travels.  Life here is not hectic. Work a bit (home brew on the boil) and just enjoying nature! We do not take life seriously and welcome people to say who share the same ideas. We have 3 cottages on the property that we rent out, so pending availability and who comes along we can make things work hopefully.

We are on a flat 50 acre family farm based 20 min. drive from Busselton.

We are a performance horse training farm. We specialise in dressage and show horses. We have a very fun and outgoing attitude.
