Description
We are environment professionals with a 5 acre Land for Wildlife property overlooking Mt Elliot (Bowling Green Bay NP), 25 kms south of Townsville (near Magnetic Island). Our dry tropic forest offers great wildlife viewing & is the jumping off point for bushwalking, swimming & rock climbing in the NP. We favour self-motivated people with practical skills eg: gardening, building & maintenance. Work is 4.5 hours per day & may include weeding, mulching, & landscaping. Current projects are native bush regeneration, landscaping, construction, outdoor furniture & garden art. Illustrators and graphic designers most welcome as there may be the opportunity to have input to science communication projects.
Good meals, relaxed company & comfortable s/c guestroom (single or couple), or BYO. Min stay 3 nights then negotiable. Can P/U from Townsville. If you drink, BYO alcohol from town. NSI. No pets.

We are also landscaping, building an outdoor fire pit for social gatherings and maintaining a fire break.
