Emily told Oyster Worldwide all about her time working to help clear up the flood damage.

“We had a great experience! The project was very well organised, with great staff, a great team and our great leader Geoff. It was very satisfying work where we not only gained new skills such as fencing, but it was good to be able to help those who have been devastated by the floods. The landholders we were helping were amazingly hospitable and expressed their gratitiude for our help in so many ways: freshly baked cakes, home made cheeses, BBQ dinners, picnic lunches and open invitations to return in future for fishing, camping, birdwatching... I will never forget the amazing Australia day morning tea under a beautiful gum tree with the Aussie flag flying that one of the landholders laid on – all unexpected and wonderful :) ”

If you are interested in having a similar experience and helping out in Australia, a country that has been battered with awful weather throughout 2011 so far, then do have a look at Oyster Worldwide's Conservation Australia webpage.
