Description
We are Todd, Wiebke, Marlo (9) and Millie (7). We live on an avocado farm outside of Toowoomba (1.5 hrs from Brisbane). We have horses. And we also have a border collie named Pebbles.
Wiebke works in accountancy and Todd is an aircraft engineer and does horse bodywork. Todd is Australian and Wiebke grew up in Germany.
We have both travelled a lot through Europe, South East Asia, Canada and Australia and we know how great it is to see a bit of the local life instead of one hostel after the other.
Workawayers are welcome to stay with us and experience the cultural exchange.
You can experience the surrounding area, meet locals, exchange travel stories and learn a little about the Australian way of life.
We like to host motivated, positive people that would like to help with gardening, animals, children, cooking and household.
We have a self contained accomodation with your own bathroom, kitchen etc.
Looking forward to welcoming you to our farm.

She stayed with us on our farm over the school holidays. She quickly bonded with our two kids and formed a great relationship which they will remember forever.
They really loved having her stay with us. She helped out wherever she could without us having to ask her.
Thank you so much Lena. We hope you will visit us… read more
