I think when I move I'll set up a few tents and 4 swags and offer the same.

Should have the entire place re-fenced, driveway concreted, house extended by 100sq. Mtrs, workshop extended by 120 sq. Mtrs, greenhouse built, floating bungalow done....all with free labor...now we're talking

I do a bit of tree work for a lady who owns a few Ha that she doesn't live on. Has a 'manager' in a very average house and rent is reduced for 'managing' as many woffa's she can get in there. Quite a cunning plan and it works out pretty well for her. The main issue seems to be very mixed competencies of the people coming through, and the way things are going with health and safety rules it's only a matter of time before tshtf. Actually, I know of a farmer not too far from here who had two tourists on his place and they got hammered by one of the buffalo stock he keeps. That i believe is still an ongoing H&S nightmare for him.

Won't be doing buffalo. I here the young female Swedish backpackers aren't too keen on them.
