Description
I live in a small town South of Perth with a dog and a cat. I have 12 chickens for fresh eggs daily.
I have a large garden full of food and flowers.
It is a small cottage on a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
I spend many hours on the garden and walking the dog.

I play Australian rules football and golf.
My property backs onto beautiful Jarrah forests and we get many wonderful visitors in the area like bandicoots, kangaroos, emus, birds, lizards, bees and butterflies. Even a few echidnas, quolls and quokkas have been seen in our region.
I like to meet people from all over the world and learn about their lives and culture.
