Programme Details

Spend time in a part of the country that most travellers will never get to visit. This will give you a fantastic insight into the real Australia and the famous ‘outback’ lifestyle.

Your days will start early allowing you to enjoy the tranquil peace of the early morning with a quick breakfast before heading up to the farm to start the activities. Some of the outback activities that you have the chance to do include:

  • Quad biking
  • Horse riding
  • Mustering
  • General farm hand work such as fencing and driving tractors
There will also be time to go on bush walks and simply relax and enjoy the tranquility of the outback!

There are two options for this programme depending on whether you would like to take part in paid work after your farm training or whether you simply want to learn some new skills and have fun for a week. Call us to discuss your options for this fun and unique programme!
