I really enjoyed getting to know some of the team through the lunch at day 1 and getting to talk to the previous week/next week of participants at the bar on Fridays
I really enjoyed how well taken care of we were by the team when we arrived to Australia. From Amiel's caring and welcoming nature,
Jane’s eager eye to find our best qualities, Will’s inspiring monologues, both of the Phils driving us, Clinton, Tammy and Tobys life and work tips at the farm.
The money I spent on the program is well worth the hassle, insecurity and time I otherwise would have spent from doing it all on my own + I’ll get to have lovely people to talk to if I have any questions before/during/after my job placement.

I enjoyed your entire organization in Brisbane. I enjoyed the motorcycling and horseback riding on the farm the most.
I really enjoyed getting to know everyone at the welcome lunch. I immediately felt at ease, and the discussions with Jane about my ideas for the jobs were very helpful and enjoyable.
It was a very pleasant atmosphere, and I immediately felt confident in your work.
Don't underestimate the Australian winter :)

"My experience at Clint’s farm was incredibly rewarding. The support I received went far beyond just helping me find work. Clint also helped me get around and showed me some great local spots to eat. What stood out most was how hands-on he was, teaching me knife skills and traditional Australian recipes, drawing from his background as a chef and butcher. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity, not just for what I learned, but for the time we shared and the meaningful conversations we had. It’s an experience I’ll always carry with me."

"VisitOz have been brilliant getting us set up in Australia and finding us great farm jobs. The welcome and assistance in Brisbane made moving to a new country really easy and the farm training week was both great fun and an excellent way to learn new relevant skills. They were fast and helpful sourcing jobs for us, both at the beginning and after 3 months when we needed a new job. They’ve been on hand for any request we’ve had for help and been a great source of support."

Kim Wichertjes' hat rarely leaves her head.
Splotched with red dirt and sweat, its wide brim bears the marks of a true Australian stockwoman.
It is a reminder of a deal struck with her first boss in the Australian bush — a week's work cleaning out the old homestead restaurant for his hat — her own piece of Australian outback outfitting.

Born in a rural area of the Netherlands, Ms Wichertjes moved to Australia last year with a working holiday visa and a long-held dream.
"About seven years ago I had a dream about being a cowgirl. It wasn't really realistic yet, but then four years ago I started riding horses again and my little dream was a bit realistic again," she said.
"About seven years ago I had a dream about being a cowgirl. It wasn't really realistic yet, but then four years ago I started riding horses again and my little dream was a bit realistic again," she said.
"I started building that dream up and all of a sudden it came true."
Australian Working Adventures / VisitOz found her a job as a station hand at a vast cattle station near Cloncurry, in outback western Queensland, mustering on horseback, branding cattle, and fixing fences for five months before returning home to the Netherlands.
When the station owner reached out to her earlier this year about the possibility of flying her back to Australia for a second stint in a promoted position, Ms Wichertjes didn't hesitate.
"The second year I came here I touched down on the airway and it was just like a weight just came off. It was unreal to be back," she said.
"There's so much you learn from just being here. It's such a freeing way of living."

"As soon as I landed in Australia, I already had people who would guide me through my first week and all the essential paper work. On top of that, I already met people through VisitOz and my group made the experience at the training farm even more fun! With them, I learned all about the basics of farming. Together, we rode on motorcycles, tractors and horses for the first time. It was thrilling and exciting and it made me look forward to working on a farm!
Be open to new experiences and say yes to all the opportunities that come your way! If you are working on a property in a rural area, you should try to make friends with the locals and adapt to their way of living. That way, you will get to know the real ”Aussie Lifestyle“.
