Find out what our Oyster volunteers have said about their time as conservation volunteers in Australia from these reviews.
“Hi Georgie! Things in Australia are great! Everything with the program has been easy, from finding where I need to be and figuring out what I need to do. The organisers have been really kind, informative, and knowledgeable. Thank you for everything that you have done! I’ve been very prepared for everything”

” Life in Australia is going really great at the moment! I’ve been working on beaches every day this week doing different things – pruning, dune brushing, dune matting, weeding, planting amongst other things! Everyone is great and the project leaders on site are all very knowledgeable and I’ve learnt a lot about the local wildlife and the difference between native/not native plants and the importance of both.”

“Everything is going great. First week there were no other overseas students but despite that I absolutely loved it. The team made me feel at home. It’s amazing how warm and welcoming they are. Last Friday a boy from Germany came and yesterday we welcomed two more people. Our overseas volunteer family is growing. We do get along well. The weather has been wonderful.”

“We spent the day at a wildlife centre doing various jobs to free up the staff there to get on with looking after the animals – my job? Cleaning the kangaroo enclosure of 100 kangaroos worth of poo! Digging up agapanthus by the beach tomorrow and will be rubbish collecting too. Glorious weather and meeting lots of lovely local volunteers as well as the internationals.”

“I loved Australia, the climate, people and flora and fauna. We basically removed various invasive plants for two weeks, mostly Scottish! Enjoyed working with the locals and doing the work.”

“The time I have spent here so far has been great – even with the endless weeding! I have ended up with a great group of people and I’m am really enjoying myself. I look forward to flying to Perth this weekend for my final two weeks in Australia. I will staying at an away camp at Margaret River for most of the first week working on wetlands management before spending the second week in Freemantle.”
