Narelle Vaughan
IRE National Co-ordinator

I grew up on a farm in the Upper Great Southern town of Wickepin  Western Australia where my family owned a sheep/cropping farm.  After doing my schooling in Perth I returned to the country after working in the city for 2 years.  My husband and I were involved in the agricultural sector in Wickepin for 10 years, running our own business.  During this time, we became  involved in the hospitality industry and did this for 10 years also.  I have had the pleasure of employing hundred’s of working/holiday visa holders during our time in business, so are more than aware of the cultural differences between Australia and other nationalities.
We now live in Narembeen with our daughter,  where the IRE Office is run and divide our time between here and Mandurah.

Bronwyn Dawson
IRE Office

I starting working with IRE in 2007. I currently work part time with Narelle the National Co-ordinator. I am from a farming family which has been farming in Narembeen for 3 generations.
My husband and I moved back to Narembeen 4 years ago and I love being home and being a part of the great country community. Last year I had my baby boy and am enjoying the balance of work and motherhood.
IRE is a fantastic opportunity for young people to experience agriculture, all over the world. I enjoy being able to help make this experience possible.
