Short Property Description
We have a small soldier settler farm 10km from Kalangadoo, 50km north west of Mt Gambier, SA and approx. 400km south east of Adelaide, SA. Pete’s family have lived / worked the farm for nearly 80 years.
We currently background / finish fat composite lambs, irrigation and grow fodder for sale. Our farm consists of 260 acres of relatively flat land with some dams. There are many birds types and with such a natural environment, it is easy to sit and relax when not busy on the farm.
We have future plans to upgrade our current pastures.
Our 2 dogs, Scruffy is a 9yr old border collie and Basil an 18 month old kelpie. Both are working dogs and are good with all types of people.
We have an ongoing vegetable garden and a large orchard area that can always do with some attention. There are small areas of flower garden which are currently being altered to permit easier maintenance.
Our home is only 2 years old and WOOFers may choose from 2 rooms and will have a private bedroom with close by bathroom and will share the kitchen/lounge/other areas with Pete and myself, Kaye.
Your role while at Moerdale will be assisting Pete with animal husbandry / irrigation and pasture care tasks, general assistance in gardens and help with household tasks.
While staying with us, we will offer to take you with us on shopping trips and show you some of the tourist spots in our local region as time constraints permit.
Come stay with us if you want a change from city life. We speak English and are happy to help you pick up Aussie lingo while with us.
We prefer only 1 WOOFer on the farm at any time due to house size.
My Details
The Stay
Why I became a WWOOF Host
To allow people to try an alternative lifestyle to their regular life.
As farmers we have an isolated existence and are happy to show people how nice our lifestyle is.
We have had past experiences with WWOOFing and found it very pleasurable.
