Beschreibung
Many years travelling around Australia and South East Asia in the 1970s and 80s, now I reverse travel by having the traveller come to my great little part of the world. I have hosted over 300 travellers through other cultural hospitality networks over the last 10 years, so you may say it has become somewhat of a lifestyle for me. One that I greatly enjoy!
5km from the centre of Bundaberg and 15 km from the Pacific ocean. Bus stops out the front of my house to both locations. Bicycles also available for use.
Great diving and surfing opportunities together with local cultural attractions, such as the "Burt Hinkler hall of Aviation" museum. He was the first to fly solo a single engine, open cockpit, double winged aeroplane from England to his home town of Bundaberg in 1928. He then taxied it down the street to his mum's house nearby. He was a pioneer of long distance flight which we just take for granted today and one of my heroes. "Bundaberg Rum" is exported worldwide, and you may tour of the distillery including a nip or two (after the visit, they don't like people falling into the fermentation vats :-)
Having lived here for many years, I enjoy sharing many non commercial experiences that are not on the regular tourist agendas.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
I enjoy singing and playing guitar and am happy to provide some basic tuition. Guitars, ukulele and keyboards are available. I have had the good fortune and great pleasure of hosting some amazing musicians in the past. Jam sessions with my guests and muso mates are a great treat. If You are a busker, I can help with local government requirements etc.
I also hold an Australian advanced amateur radio station licence, "VK4UD", being active on the 40 & 20 meter short wave bands and local VHF. (That is kind of pre digital nerd stuff).

Arbeit
Jobs here include basic gardening and yard tasks, housework cleaning and general maintenance. I like to become aware of my guests skills and preferences first and then allocate the most appropriate jobs. I have been so fortunate to have some amazing help in the past by following this strategy.
If You enjoy cooking, then this rates highly as a skill, especially ethnic foods from your culture which I love to experience.
My partner here has four legs, a wagging tail and only says "woof".
Dog walking skills are highly valued and appreciated.
Sprachen
Gesprochene Sprachen
Englisch: FließendDieser Gastgeber bietet Sprachaustausch an
Only fluent in English with an Aussie slang influence (including those words that are not in the dictionary). Having hosted many non native English speakers, I have had a lot of experience and FUN helping with correct English word pronunciation.
Unterkunft
Accommodation is in a large air conditioned spare bedroom with 2 single beds, desk, etc. Not fancy, but comfortable.
Aldi supermarket is a 10 minute bike ride, and convenience stores, butcher, baker (no candle stick makers) and petrol is 300 meters away. Beyond the basics, I like to share main meal food costs and preparation with visitors.
Was noch ...
Bus to town or coast will stop in front of my house.
Only house rule is to tidy up behind yourself and pat the dog.
Smoking outside is cool.
Baldwin Swamp wetlands is a 10 minute bike ride from my house. Great birdlife and nature park.

This was an unexpected and delightful Workaway, Bob took me in when I was desperate for a place to stay very last minute.
Bob was so welcoming and friendly, he's got some great stories to tell!
I mainly did a bit of cleaning, some cooking and took his beautiful 4-legged pal Abbie for walks.
Thanks again for sharing your cozy home Bob… read more
Kerehama and Poppy are "top shelf" workawayers who I would have no hesitation is recommending to any future host. The work they performed was well above my expectations including clearing the overgrown "jungle" behind my shed. Weeding and mowing, my yard has never looked so good. Kerehama… read more
He has also very interesting stories to tell and showed me around in Bundaberg area.
