Description
I live in Queenstown Tasmania and need a House Sitter from 22nd June to 28th July.
Can you read ENGLISH? I can teach cutting glass, making sculptures and other art. I am soon to Open my gallery/studio!
Visitors stay for 7 days to 1 month. no short stay. I have room for two three for stay, I am also a couch surf host. After contacting me by email please RING ME FOR best ideas about roads and travel as well as CONFIRMATION about your stay.
I have a home with large garden near plenty of Mountain walks, swimming in rivers, waterfalls, lakes, fishing, and walking Cradle Mountain 'World Heritage' National Park. Straughn is 40 mins by car south and the 1st most amaizing place to visit. Just ask me. I will provide transport if you contribute petrol. You need a 'National Parks Pass'. I like to take visitors camping to the West Coast.
I am looking for active gardeners, builders and maintenance skills. Some jobs are, cook, help wash my van, play with Boo my dpg,etc... I also have small building project to have a green house next summer.
I supply food from my garden, breakfast eggs and lunch. Ring me to see what I have NOT got in the garden. I sometimes have plums, potatoes, garlic spinach, raspberries etc. and have some frozen vegies in the freezer etc. but wintertime you might have to contribute towards food. Bring your own special Coffee, Alcohol, Nuts, special foods, nibbles after or before meals, but I am willing to share some meats and garden produce.
Plenty of sightseeing when I take Boo for a run along rivers and lakes. Busses come from Hobart or Burnie. Best to have a car on the West Coast.
I try to be self sufficient recycling,
I love to exchange cooking culture ideas, so have a play in my kitchen. I am an artist with a passion for glass and I teach painting, glass, film maker, photographer, a 'Permaculture' teacher and massage. I love live music, I play congas, guitar, ukalaly and piano.
Cheers and have a great day!

Help
Garden and around home, permaculture ethics. A little building but if you are good at carpentry then I am in need of a small kitchen cupboard, my verandah needs fixing, green house needs to be stable and shelves made, so a little pocket money may come in handy.
