Johanna Bodewes; Gavin Leach
25 acres of stunning conservation land encompassing pasture, wetlands & native bush. We are right on the tranquil waters of Mangrove Creek where you can fish, swim and canoe all year round and we are surrounded by sandstone mountains, incredible bush and unique Aboriginal sacred areas. Great bushwalking all around!
Volunteering includes weeding, gardening, making new garden beds, making compost teas, care of chickens and bush regeneration. There is an extensive bush food garden on the property. We also do lots of preserving produce and love making medicines, tinctures, salves etc. We also love eco-dyeing and have a big shed with lots of wood working equipment. We often do building and art projects as well.

Accom for 1-6 people in the rustic separate farmhouse (complete with sauna!), or you are welcome to camp if you prefer. Children possible. Stays of minimum 1 week, longer stays preferred. We are a relaxed and fun family (with adult children!) who enjoy music, great food, and all lifes adventures and we look forward to meeting you!
This is a great opportunity for couples or friends as you will have a house to yourselves for most of the time. There is good wi-fi. It’s great if you have your own vehicle but we can pick you up from public transport nearby. We have hosted young and older people from all over the world and most become like family. 🤗

Why I became a WWOOF Host

We love meeting new people and sharing this beautiful place! It’s also super helpful to have fresh energy around to assist with projects and maintenance!

Organic/Biological methods we use

We operate our property on an organic and permaculture model. We do lots of composting and have lots of fruit trees as well as garden beds. We have a happy bee hive and try to manage all invasive weed species by hand.
