Description
We are a happy energetic family of five. We've two girls (age 18, 15) and a gorgeous little boy who is 4. We love travel and have a very busy family life. We have already been host to several couples, friends and single travelers and have loved the experience. So we have decided to join workaway and meet more great people from around the world.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Having three children all different ages provides a great oppurtunity to further your english skills.
We love eating clean fresh Whole Foods we have excellent produce and love using it to create home cooked nutritious meals. Each night at dinner we love to sit down and talk. Its great learning new words and teaching our guests new English words. It can make for the funniest and most interesting conversation.
We also like to go places that you would be welcome to join us. We love our local beaches and parks and have plenty of white sandy beaches that are perfect for swimming and surfing all a short drive away.
We also have a huge lake that is great for walks and bike rides at the bottom of our street. In the summer we love to get out on our boat to water ski and explore.
Bus stops are close by and the train station to Sydney is only a ten minute drive away. We are so central to everything.
We have an indoor ice skating rink in our town, lots of off road mountain bike trails and soccer fields.
Cinemas, big shopping centers and restaurants are all only a ten minute drive away, yet where we live is so bushy and like a nature reserve.
We live in an amazing part of Australia with so many beautiful beaches, parks and restarants nearby. You would be learning about our local area and getting to know many Australian people.
