Cape Tribulation Accommodation
/ Daintree Accommodation - B&B / Bed and Breakfast in the Daintree
Rainforest National Park
Welcome to the WWOOF page of Rainforest Hideaway, first for those of
you who are non-WWOOFers and have stumbled on this page by accident this
brief explanation, copied from the homepage of WWOOF.com.au
:
Willing Workers On Organic Farms (WWOOF) is a great way to see
Australia. WWOOFers generally live with the host family, exchanging
4-6 hours of their labour a day, and learn about:
gardening and the skills of organic growing
the area they are visiting
WWOOF Australia and their hosts make travelling in Australia easy,
safe and more fun for both Australian and Overseas Visitors. .

Rainforest Hideaway is not
a farm but a house hidden away in two hectares of privately owned
rainforest with about 1000m2 of cleared land for a garden. It
used to run as a bed and breakfast but during 2009 this will be
closed.
What sort of work is there to be done?
This year in 2009 I want to establish herb gardens to grow mint,
lemongrass and a few more simple things. Also there is work maintaining
fruit trees, weeding, and planting some more banana trees.
This year I want to make a start with some extensive sculpture
gardens, so there is lots of work landscaping, making walking
tracks, mixing cement for the sculptures etc.
Artists with an interest in this, and especially with some experience
in sculpture or cement work are very welcome!

In 2008 I have made a start with the sculptures, more
on this page...
What do you get?
In exchange for your time ( around 4 to 6 hours a day as is usual
with WWOOFing) you get your meals ( we usually take turns cooking),
a comfy queensize bed in the office/loft, a few beers and wines,
the experience of living in the middle of the oldest rainforest
in the world, wildlife encounters ( cassowaries, golden orbs,
bandicoots, goannas, brushturkeys etc.)
Vegetarians are no worries, vegans are a bit too much trouble,
but breatharians are easily catered for.
Your hosts is: an ex-Dutchie who came to Australia in 1985 on
a 12 month working holiday visa and is still here, testimony to
what a great place this is. More info
