Work

Tallong Apple Festival Preparation and set up of festival, Event management, Pack-up. Volunteers must be prepared to do physical work, some medium-heavy lifting. You will work alongside local community volunteers, with a supervisor and a volunteer manager.
Richlands Open Day Volunteers will help prepare the house for visitors, arrange displays and signage, and act as stewards on the day. The work is both indoors - cleaning and polishing, displays; and outdoors - path trimming, weeding and signs. They will in turn be introduced to district history and heritage both natural, economic and cultural. They will also get a feel for country life - the property still grazes cattle and sheep; it runs into natural grassy woodlands that support a variety of wildlife.

Accomodation and food

Tallong Apple Festival Comfortable cabins or similar indoors. Volunteers will prepare meals together most days.
Richlands Open Day Basic accommodation, most likely camping in tents provided. No internet. Volunteers will prepare meals together in the homestead.
