Working Farm holiday NSW suggestions??

[TimberNut]

Looking for holiday suggestion in NSW where I can take the missus, and 2 dogs and go work on a farm for a week or so. Maybe ride a horse or 2, and take the tractor for a spin.

Being a City-Slicker (Sydney Suburbia) and stressed to the max I reckon farm work'd be relaxing (sort of). I guess the fresh air would do us good (and let the dogs run somewhere that's bigger that 50m2 back yard!)

Got a purebred Kelpie that I'd love to see how he goes with sheep.

Can't afford $200/night for upmarket B&B farmstays, and would rather more 'homely' setup anyways.

Any suggestions guys?

Hey Craig,

google, ninemsn etc etc....

The only reason I'm in the big smoke is cause I work in I.T. so yep, had thought of these options. But thanks anyways.

Just posted it here cause 'word of mouth' is always a better recommendation than a web site by a commercial enterprise. Chances are that there's a chippy out there who lives up the street from someone who knows someone....

We have 4 paddocks of horse sh.. that needs cleaning up, a ride on mower and a heap of fencing to be fixed, you provide us with brekky in bed and two other meals a day and it's all yours:D
Sorry, forgot about the wood to be split and shed to be cleaned up, does that make it more of a bargain.
Horses can be ridden, couple need breaking if you are into extreme riding.
