Aims and Motivations here in Australia
I am looking to explore a new country whilst working with likeminded individuals. I would love to work in a team of people and where there is the availability to learn new skills either in the equine industry or on a farm. If I was to work on a farm, I would be very happy to get stuck in with anything, dairy, beef cattle or sheep. I have the most experience with arable farming but ultimately haven’t spent years and years on a tractor. I would be very happy to drive tractors but don’t feel overly confident to go into a full-time tractor driving job. I can help out with cooking and child-care with a years’ experience au-pairing for a farming family in Scotland.
