We are looking for a house/farm carer for two months. All of February and March 2023.
Located near Armidale in Northern NSW, our property is 12kms from town, so your own transport is essential. We have a 100acre property with 8 cattle, 2 donkeys, 2 dogs, chooks and a garden.
Our comfortable house is available or you could use your own van if preferred. Water, electricity & internet available.
Our dogs are both female, a mature blue cattle dog and a young Jack Russell cross, both very friendly and love company and walks. The cattle dog however, is very anxious with other dogs, so doesn’t leave the farm often.
We have a dozen chooks who keep us well supplied with fresh eggs. Our gorgeous donkeys love a bit of attention, perhaps a brush. Our property has frontage to a small waterway, and is a peaceful and private space. Cattle just need to be checked on regularly. Usually no action required.
Apart from feeding the animals, and seeing them all tucked in at night, the lawn will likely need a few of mowings with the ride-on, depending on the rainfall. Mowing takes about 1.5 hours. Watering pot plants and veggie garden would also be a regular thing unless there is constant rain. Other gardening would be optional and by arrangement.
We have Starlink internet and Netflix streaming.
There are a couple of lovely National Parks in the area, and Armidale has several art galleries, a cinema, and an active cultural community.
There may be some flexibility with the start date.
