Volunteer

We need  your time and skill to preserve our heritage site.

 If you have a passion for heritage buildings, have time to spare, have a skill, have a trade or if you are just passing by, I have a job for you. There are always tasks on the job board that can be traded for a room or RV site  at The Smelters' Home Burra.

How the Volunteer Approach Works

Everybody has a passion or a skill that they are willing to share. If your enthusiasm and or skill set match any of the projects or work listed below then I need you. The Smelters' Home comprises 17 rooms on a one acre block. There are two other major buildings; a huge garage which will become a permanent garage sale and a large stone barn with lean to that will become Smelters' Studio.

There are enough projects to last many many years. Many hands make light work and there really is a project for wide range of interests and skill sets.  There is always cleaning, gardening and maintenance to do.

The trade agreements are flexible however are basically; 6 hours per week for a room in the Cottage with full amenities, 2 hours per week for RV sites.
