Why I became a WWOOF Host

We are a family operation that likes to show people our operation, what we do and why. Lately we have noticed a large amount of travelers struggling to find a job where they could experience the life that outback Australia has to offer. We thought this might be a way to allow people who can’t find an opportunity for employment to experience the lifestyle and gain skills to help with finding employment in this industry if they desire it. We do a lot of training and normally employ backpackers traveling over the course of our season anyway and we have enjoyed a large variety of people helping us over the past 10 years. People coming to stay with us will pickup station skills such as stock work in yards, fencing and machinery operation in a safe environment. We focus on keeping people safe while allowing them to experience what the remote outback has to offer.

Organic/Biological methods we use

The property is a 280,000ha operation running in excess of 20,000 head of beef cattle. We breed, backround and fatten the livestock using sustainable grazing operations (mainly rotational grazing and wet season spelling). We focus on low stress stock handling techniques to allow cattle to flow through yards and keep people safe who are working with them. To this purpose we have an extensive laneway network that allows stock to be moved by one person at a slow speed. We are not a fan of chemical use and restrict our usage to bare minimums required (primarily government mandated applications such as to cross stock tick lines). We feed a lot of mineral stock lick for the health and wellbeing of our livestock who we have been carefully selecting genetics for many years to focus on quiet polled livestock (no or reduced horns).
