Wurrabinya is home to Ian, Harly, Mac (b 2014), Mia (b 2015), Pooch, our kelpie kid (pet dog), a pair of budgies, several chooks and assorted wildlife and occasionally Nina (b2004).
We have a 1/4 hectare block about 30 mins from the CBD, in the lovely Adelaide Hills, where we run chickens and have a range of fruit and nut, and native trees which primarily feed the local lorikeets, rosellas and cockatoos.
Volunteering tasks for WWOOFers: Equates to 25 hours a week for full food and board and includes weed control, garden maintenance and chicken care.
Accommodation: is in our house and we eat together. Ian works full time in town and Harly works part time and is busy with Mac & Mia, so an ability to work by yourself is a bonus. Very happy to host two friends and /or partners. Harly prefers women WWOOFers or a couple.
Simple truth, I inherited hosting WWOOFers from my Mother. Since the Very beginning of WWOOF Australia we have been hosting WWOOFers here at Wurrabinya until COVID 19 closed down the world. We let our membership lapse and now we’d like some help getting the place tidied up a bit while our children get to experience people from around the world.
