Short Property Description
Update: PROPERTY NOW CLOSED
Hello, I am a single woman managing a 3 acre bush property & horticultural business.
The long term goal here is to plant a variety Eucalyptus trees & native plants to transform what used to be an old rock quarry (rock mine) into a Eucalyptus Arboretum.
Around the house I am establishing a natural bush style garden, in Australia it is called a “dry landscape garden” things are slowly growing but all the plants in the garden are Australian.
I have 3 active & affectionate dogs, a female Kelpie named Jarrah & female Border Collie named Indigo and a male Kelpie named Mallee Boy.
Also a ginger cat name Rusty plus a gorgeous rooster & 10 chooks (Chickens)
*you must love dogs to stay here*
Please have a read through my profile including ‘Special Conditions” & if you are interested to make a contribution to my projects or looking for an opportunity to learn new skills & live an outdoors/alternative lifestyle – I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers, Kerry

Why I became a WWOOF Host
For the cultural exchange, to meet people from other countries & talk about their Australian travels plus learning something about their home life.
I did WWOOF myself in Australia and Canada, it helped me decide to study horticulture.
I want to provide a learning exchange and have valuable help maintaining up my property because there is lots of work involved to maintain a 3 acres property all on my own, I am fit and healthy but need to concentrate on my Nursery business and my summer orchard job.
I also encourage and welcome female wwoofers who are keen for a challenge, to learn new skills and try something new!
Using a brush cutter is easier that it might seem and can be very rewarding & satisfying.
If you can drive a car then you can use a brush cutter I say!
