Description
I live in Queenstown Tasmania .
I am looking for a helper in my garden, walking and playing with my dog, house cleaning, help with computer and printing problems. Help with my phone.
---
Can you read ENGLISH? I can teach cutting glass, making sculptures and other art. I have an ART gallery/studio!
I am looking for workaways to 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 dog,etc... I also have small building project to have a green house next summer.
I supply food from my garden, wintertime you might have to contribute towards food. Bring your own special Coffee, Alcohol, Nuts, special foods, nibbles after or before meals. If your house sitting you will need to feed yourselves for free rent , but I am willing to share some 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!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I can teach you permaculture and sustainable living including gardening. I am also a glass artist, painter, sculpture and can do almost anything. I sometimes need you to look after my home while I am sailing.
Help
Looking after my home and gallery while Im away. My dog can come with me if you think you cant look after him. Good communication is essential with teferences. Care for my Garden and around home, permaculture ethics. A little building but if you are good at carpentry then I am in need of a some outside planter boxes. My green house needs to be stable and shelves made, so a little pocket money may come in handy.
Mostly weeding and watering if no rain.
If your applying to house sit, you can come 1 week before and stay awhile when I return.

Thankyou for your time with me, sad it was not longer and more interesting to learn more about this remarkable place where forests from Gondwanaland still exist.
Happy travels.
