🌿 Tabulam, NSW – Flexible stay – All-round helper on small rural property – Exchange position

A couple living on 12 acres near Tabulam in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales is looking for a practical and friendly person or couple to lend a hand with a few jobs around the property.

This is a very flexible exchange opportunity, ideal for travellers who would enjoy a peaceful rural stay in return for just a small amount of practical help.

The property is located around 60 km west of Casino, halfway between Casino and Tenterfield, and only about 5 km from Tabulam.

The help needed

The owners are not looking for full days of work — just a couple of hours every second day or so, helping with jobs they now find more difficult to manage.

Tasks may include:

✅ Light fencing
✅ Basic machinery maintenance
✅ General yard and property maintenance
✅ Small practical jobs around the block
✅ Helping with other simple tasks as required

The arrangement is deliberately relaxed and flexible.

Length of stay

You are welcome to stay for:

✅ A day or two
✅ A few days
✅ A week or two

Any help would be genuinely appreciated.

The location

The property has a permanent creek running along two sides, providing a peaceful country setting with fishing and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors.

The nearby town of Tabulam has:

• General store
• Rural supplies
• Post office
• Pub
• Service station

The Clarence River also runs through Tabulam and is a popular fishing spot.

Who this would suit

This opportunity would suit someone who is:

✅ Practical and happy to lend a hand
✅ Comfortable with basic rural property jobs
✅ Independent and easygoing
✅ Looking for a quiet country stop rather than a formal work arrangement

Previous farm or property maintenance experience would be helpful, but a practical attitude and willingness to help are more important.

This is a lovely opportunity for travellers looking for a relaxed rural base, a bit of country hospitality and the chance to help out a couple who would genuinely appreciate the assistance.
