We own a 90 acre Certified Organic property, 2 kms from the Murray River and 5 kms from Waikerie. We grow a small vegetable/fruit garden. We breed goats, some chickens and a little dog, Gemma. Chores vary seasonally: picking, weeding, feeding animals, restoring cars & old tractors.
Accomodation either in our home or self contained flat. Children b.a. Meals with family, plenty of good food. We take our WWOOFers on a nocturnal safari to see kangaroos, emus, foxes, rabbits, owls & quail. See scorpions, Red-back spiders & lizards, etc. Also kayaking on the river. Star gazing, ride the quad motorbike, drive the tractor, go fishing, swimming or play pool. No smoking inside. Daily bus service from Adelaide & interstate to Waikerie.
Here is a story written by a wonderful French WWOOFer Lény Gourven who visited us in 2013, we still keep in touch!
WWOOFers Shay and Dean visited and made a video series about their WWOOFing journey around Australia. Here is the episode on our farm 🙂
I have been a host since the early 2000’s. I really enjoy Hosting WWOOFers. We are Certified Organic and love sharing our passion and our knowledge of Organics to WWOOFers from all over the world. We became Hosts to further pass on this knowledge.
