Ruth & Malcolm Bray
Our place is a  small permaculture home garden and orchard,  in the township of Daylesford in Central Victoria.  We are only a few minutes walk from local Kangaroos, the Shopping Centre, Library,  Pubs, Cafes, Restaurants, Walking tracks,  and in summer, Outdoor Swimming Pool.
You will have all afternoons and also 2 days off a week.    Learn about permaculture and gardening by the moon.  We really enjoy hosting WWOOFers, and hearing of their travels, and their home country.
Our guest room has an en-suite bathroom. You  may like to attend the local Sunday Market.  There is TV and Wi-Fi.
There is public transport several times a day – train with connecting bus from Southern Cross Station Melbourne.  Our home is a short walk,  5 blocks from Bus Stop.
Stays of  of 1-2 weeks, or longer by agreement. We prefer a couple or 2- 3 friends  or families, who don’t mind sharing one room. Work is for about 4 hours in the morning and may include compost making, building new garden beds, fencing, digging, weeding, pruning, mulching or landscaping. You  are welcome, if you are fully vaccinated, and are  non smokers/ non vapers.  Sewing or leatherworking skills would be great, but not essential,
