Description
I have a large house between iconic surf beach, Bells Beach and Jan Juc Beach. It is about 100km west of Melbourne . I enjoy bushwalking, yoga, meditation, ocean swimming, mountain bike riding. I work casually so I am home a lot. I am interested in social justice campaigns currently the Yes referendum for an Aboriginal voice to parliament, LGB politics. I love nature, art, galleries.
My children have left home now, and I want to update my place after a long absence. The house and garden need some maintenance.
