We hold community meetings throughout the week alongside activities and workshops, such as quiz nights, dance nights and yoga classes. If you have something you are passionate about and want to share with others, we would love for you to run a workshop. One of the best things here is the variety of tasks you can do as a volunteer, which gives you the opportunity to learn new skills and discover what you enjoy doing most.

This is a permaculture designed garden. We have 120 species of bamboo. fruit trees ducks chickens and two dogs and lots of friendly wildlife and many useful plants. we are a wholesale bamboo nursery and also make one off bamboo creations. We are a 10 min drive from Airlie beach in the Whitsundays with 72 islands to sail to. there are many ways a helper can help and learn about permaculture and bamboo. You will have your own room here with wifi and the food is fresh and healthy. We have self contained accommodation in the garden if you like. And if you love fishing we catch and cook seafood. Your days here as a helper count towards the 88 days you need for your second year visa. Please view my website for more info, using my weblink below.

Hello helpers, I live with my now big youngest son in a beautiful village in the east of Holland, nearby Zutphen, a very old town on the river. There is farmland, woods, and water, very pretty and we have a big room with a little kitchen for guests facing an old-fashioned windmill. It's very nice for cycling, sports, hiking, swimming and so, or visiting nearby towns, Holland is very small. Summer is coming and with this my work on festivals and markets is starting to get very busy. I work popfestivals, fantasyfairs, Ibizamarkets, and so on. I'm selling clothing and jewelry. I like to have people help out a bit with the animals and house when I'm out for a couple of days or a week orso for work, or help with handy man and other jobs. But also ike to have people come with me who like festivals and who like to see many places in Holland, since it's all over Holland. Furthermore I 'm looking for a housesitter /petsitter sometimes when we are out for a couple of weeks after summer....
