WHY CHOOSE? HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS STAYING HERE! * Live on a small cattle farm surrounded by pristine beaches and national parks * Enjoy the good life with the right balance between work and fun * Swirl around chilling kangaroos while driving the tractor in the paddocks ...Yeah, I know you are already hooked but let me give you more details below! Join me at the farm where 18 happy cows and calf, 7 chickens live in peace and tranquility, just 9km away from picturesque Agnes Water and the town of 1770. This area, off the usual tourist path, is packed with natural gems. Having lived here for over 30 years I know all the best spots and I am keen to share them with you. It`s also the perfect place to learn how to surf with the cheapest surf schools in Australia and a number of different beaches!... I have just recently joined the HelpX community but have hosted over 200 guests with other organizations during the past 4years (and they all made it out alive!). Young at hea...

We live in a fun share house in Maryborough, Miss Poppins Town, with awesome meals and a big edible garden. We're Mars, the owner of the property and Tracy, a former theatre/restaurant owner who's cooking the most awesome meals and looking after everyone like a mum. There're 2 adorable dogs in the family, so you must be a dog lover. We need help with building and creating, and with an awesome but overgrown garden. In addition, we're about to put 12v solar power into the rooms, also natural air-conditioning and are finishing up the spar bath in the 2nd bathroom... so there's a bit for you to learn and lots of knowledge to take home. We have had great experiences with travellers so far as Mars's former partner has been on HelpX for quite some time. Maryborough is only 30 minutes away from Hervey Bay with beautiful beaches overlooking Frazer Island. Maryborough is a beautiful old heritage town with a lot of old buildings and parks all around. We're just a few metres away from the Mary ...

Our home is in Shailer Park, a Southern suburb of Brisbane between the inner city and the Gold Coast. I have previous experience as a host with HelpX when I lived near Sydney in NSW. It's a quiet safe area and my son needs help with a gardening project and some small handyman jobs. I am a retired female. I have my own ensuite separate to the main bathroom which you will share with one other housemate plus there is an extra toilet downstairs. Help is required 4 to 5hrs per day, Monday to Friday with weekends to yourself and my swimming pool is there for all to enjoy as much as the other communal areas inside. We have the Daisy Hill Koala Centre & Conservation Park in the suburb next door, plus many walking & bicycle trails. A bus trip going North to Brisbane City Centre is about one hour & only 50 cents, and 2.15 hrs by bus, South to the Gold Coast for a day or weekend trip. Not sure about train travel. Lots of shopping centres and not far from entertainment venues, Australia Zoo...

Updated Nov 2025 - Brisbane area - I haven't been around for a while, so different property - creek and nature all around - but, if you are scared of the realities of Oz bush, like spiders, it's not for you! There is room to stay in the house; or there is also room to have a van or similar parked in the driveway or down near the creek We only expect 3 hrs per day as a swap; nothing exciting - just garden & house spring cleaning - but we do have a creek to relax in - you will see I have some good reviews, so most of my helpx folks have a great time - Happy for helpers to do 2 days in one, then have 1 full day off to go to the city or explore the area. If the garden needs help - remember this is Australia so if you are squeamish re spiders or such like, please don't apply! we are about 1/2 hr from Brisbane city - lots of beautiful nature walks - perfect for someone who wants to get back to nature ....:) Also....near enough to the train station to go into the city and explore! ...

Welcome to this very special place by the beach along the East Coast in Tasmania. We live on just over 4 acres of land and are starting to create a garden and renovate our shed. Gardening and wood splitting experience would be great and an interest in community living. We are part of an online community, see my website link below, which includes a vision of lived community with values of nonviolence and liberation for all. I am also a facilitator of the Work that Reconnects, see website link below. If you have an interest in exploring how we can live on the earth more lightly and in a regenerative way, this is the place to come and explore and have those conversations. We are just starting on this journey on this land and are experimenting in what supports choice, togetherness and flow as an antidote to scarcity, separation and powerlessness. Whilst all this may sound 'intense' we balance it with walks along the gorgeous Four Mile Creek Beach, surfing (if you have your own board)...

“Work is love made visible” …Kahlil Gibran If you understand the above quotation then you are the HELPER I want. Please, read EVERYTHING below before requesting hosting. I have only recently returned from a volunteer project in Fiji. Now I am renovating a very old miner's cottage on a half-acre in a cute rural village in central NSW. The Cottage is about 150 years old, built originally with timber that was milled on-site by hand. The original Cypress Pine slabs stand vertical. The cottage is being creatively renovated to display its history and highlight modern, country, lifestyle. The grounds are destined to be turned into organic food gardens and a native species garden. Room for you in-house or caravan. YOU could learn a lot about the Aussie lifestyle, sustainable living, alternative building ...AND have a lot of fun, if you choose to HelpX with Donny. ABOUT DONNY: Donny is a real Aussie Character: He is a retired, alternative builder. He is also an event manager, writer, m...

I am an aquatic ecologist who has fortunately been working out of our coastal rain-forest property for 35 years. Driven by strong curiosity, I have recently been developing long-term data sets on the animal life in the forest that surrounds our home, plus on tropical marine fish that are steadily increasing in numbers under the influence of climate change at the nearby very beautiful Seal Rocks area (for details click on my website link below). We have 20 acres with 2 acres cleared and the remainder moist tall forest and rainforest. It is on the coast 3 hrs drive north of Sydney (1.5km from Smiths Lake; 30km south of Forster) See my blog link below to glimpse the accommodation, typical work and fun. We have a 180 squ m vegetable garden at times needing attention which has been enclosed to keep out our friends the wallabies (pademelons), possums, parrots and native bush turkeys. Bush regeneration is another activity as well as assisting in ecological surveys of local rivers when t...

We live in a fun share house in Maryborough, Miss Poppins Town, with awesome meals and a big edible garden. We're Mars, the owner of the property and Tracy, a former theatre/restaurant owner who's cooking the most awesome meals and looking after everyone like a mum. There're 2 adorable dogs in the family, so you must be a dog lover. We need help with building and creating, and with an awesome but overgrown garden. In addition, we're about to put 12v solar power into the rooms, also natural air-conditioning and are finishing up the spar bath in the 2nd bathroom... so there's a bit for you to learn and lots of knowledge to take home. We have had great experiences with travellers so far as Mars's former partner has been on HelpX for quite some time. Maryborough is only 30 minutes away from Hervey Bay with beautiful beaches overlooking Frazer Island. Maryborough is a beautiful old heritage town with a lot of old buildings and parks all around. We're just a few metres away from the Mary ...

Beautiful 56 acre mountainous property, completely off grid with a small hardwood house /cottage that I have built using milled wood from trees on the property , with lovely views everywhere . Also doing a lot work to improve the land and infrastructure. There are over 4 kilometers of walking trails through gorgeous forest, on this completely vegan property, with mountainous views all over ranging from 150 to 230 meters above sea level. The beautiful forest trails have old growth national park like forest at the very top. Lots of wildlife to see , with all kinds of exotic birds , including families of black cockatoo’s which live here in the pine’s, and beautiful little kingfisher birds, yellow robins, willy wagtails and kookaburras to name a few. We have recently found koalas living on the property in the flooded gum trees, with many wallabies and goanna’s are everywhere in summer !

Our home is in Shailer Park, a Southern suburb of Brisbane between the inner city and the Gold Coast. I have previous experience as a host with HelpX when I lived near Sydney in NSW. It's a quiet safe area and my son needs help with a gardening project and some small handyman jobs. I am a retired female. I have my own ensuite separate to the main bathroom which you will share with one other housemate plus there is an extra toilet downstairs. Help is required 4 to 5hrs per day, Monday to Friday with weekends to yourself and my swimming pool is there for all to enjoy as much as the other communal areas inside. We have the Daisy Hill Koala Centre & Conservation Park in the suburb next door, plus many walking & bicycle trails. A bus trip going North to Brisbane City Centre is about one hour & only 50 cents, and 2.15 hrs by bus, South to the Gold Coast for a day or weekend trip. Not sure about train travel. Lots of shopping centres and not far from entertainment venues, Australia Zoo...

Updated Nov 2025 - Brisbane area - I haven't been around for a while, so different property - creek and nature all around - but, if you are scared of the realities of Oz bush, like spiders, it's not for you! There is room to stay in the house; or there is also room to have a van or similar parked in the driveway or down near the creek We only expect 3 hrs per day as a swap; nothing exciting - just garden & house spring cleaning - but we do have a creek to relax in - you will see I have some good reviews, so most of my helpx folks have a great time - Happy for helpers to do 2 days in one, then have 1 full day off to go to the city or explore the area. If the garden needs help - remember this is Australia so if you are squeamish re spiders or such like, please don't apply! we are about 1/2 hr from Brisbane city - lots of beautiful nature walks - perfect for someone who wants to get back to nature ....:) Also....near enough to the train station to go into the city and explore! ...

Welcome to this very special place by the beach along the East Coast in Tasmania. We live on just over 4 acres of land and are starting to create a garden and renovate our shed. Gardening and wood splitting experience would be great and an interest in community living. We are part of an online community, see my website link below, which includes a vision of lived community with values of nonviolence and liberation for all. I am also a facilitator of the Work that Reconnects, see website link below. If you have an interest in exploring how we can live on the earth more lightly and in a regenerative way, this is the place to come and explore and have those conversations. We are just starting on this journey on this land and are experimenting in what supports choice, togetherness and flow as an antidote to scarcity, separation and powerlessness. Whilst all this may sound 'intense' we balance it with walks along the gorgeous Four Mile Creek Beach, surfing (if you have your own board)...

I have only recently returned from a volunteer project in Fiji. Now I am renovating a very old miner's cottage on a half-acre in a cute rural village in central NSW.

The cottage is being creatively renovated to display its history and highlight modern, country, lifestyle. The grounds are destined to be turned into organic food gardens and a native species garden.

We are a young, relaxed family building our off-grid home and subsistence lifestyle on a 47-acre property in the heart of the Otways. Our family includes two daughters (seven and three) and a KelpieX doggie called Ten O'Clock (named by our daughter when she was two). Backing onto the Otway National Park, we offer helpers a beautiful location to explore the surrounding rainforests, waterfalls and coastal regions of South-Western Victoria (12 Apostles, Great Ocean Road/Walk, numerous waterfalls, hiking, beautiful beaches, etc.). In return for your help, we hope to share the skills and knowledge we've gained thus far in off-grid living, carpentry, gardening, composting, beer-making, sustainable living techniques, and local ecology. We hope to find helpers who are interested in assisting us to progress the build of our home, nurturing our garden and orchard, helping preserve our garden harvest, landscaping our outdoor bath area, building a chook shed, bush regeneration, developing forest w...

I am flexible with my time (especially during the week days) and love to hang out and make new friends.. In the summer I travel around Victoria and Australia a lot, going on road trips with friends and many music festivals -camping in the bush etc.. I am into music (composing/playing); Alternative health / medicine ; Electronics / Engineering / technology ; Anything weird wacky unusual unexplained strange secret, and business combining most of the above, ;) .. The world is full of amazing things and possibilities and Life can never be dull for the seeker with an open mind.

During the warmer months me and my crew travel to various outdoor music festiva...

I am an aquatic ecologist who has fortunately been working out of our coastal rain-forest property for 35 years. Driven by strong curiosity, I have recently been developing long-term data sets on the animal life in the forest that surrounds our home, plus on tropical marine fish that are steadily increasing in numbers under the influence of climate change at the nearby very beautiful Seal Rocks area (for details click on my website link below). We have 20 acres with 2 acres cleared and the remainder moist tall forest and rainforest. It is on the coast 3 hrs drive north of Sydney (1.5km from Smiths Lake; 30km south of Forster) See my blog link below to glimpse the accommodation, typical work and fun. We have a 180 squ m vegetable garden at times needing attention which has been enclosed to keep out our friends the wallabies (pademelons), possums, parrots and native bush turkeys. Bush regeneration is another activity as well as assisting in ecological surveys of local rivers when t...
