  Beschreibung

  We are a busy family although our 2 children are almost grown - 18yr old & a 21 yr old who is now at university on the Gold Coast! My husband works in Toowoomba and Anastasia has just finished school and is working to save for her own overseas trip. She loves riding horses especially Eventing - Showjumping, Dressage and X country. She is currently training for a pony club Tetrathlon trip to Ireland & England in July/August. . She loves listening to music. We have 2 horses,1 dog, a cat and a few sheep. We love traveling and love learning about life in other countries. My Husband loves watching any sport, especially football (rugby) and cricket, He likes going for runs or to the gym, playing touch football, working in the garden and listening to music.
  For me, we are away every weekend at horse competitions and I am heavily involved with volunteering for the pony club, organising different things, usually when I should be working and looking after things here!! I'm hoping that with a little help we'll have more time to do the things we love!! So, if you're keen to check out our way of life & willing to pitch in & help, come and join our family and experience our Australian way of life!!

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  By staying with us you will see how a middle class Australian family lives.
  We have the added benefit though of having horses which brings with it 2 things - fun & lots of work!! You can learn how we look after our horses, (which I'm sure is very different to overseas!)
  We speak English and love to chat. Some weeks can be pretty quiet here with just the day to day family stuff other weeks can be hectic with friends, competitions, school things etc!!
  We live in the country but only 2 hours from the beach so you can also experience the different countryside with lots of wild animals - especially wallabies & a plethora of Australian birds. There are some nice places for walks or runs.
  I would recommend about 1-2 weeks here as we are just a normal family and I’m sure you are keen to see as much of Australia as you can but of course if you immerse yourself in our family we’d love you to stay longer.

  Arbeit

  There is a huge array of jobs that need to get done.
  We will require someone to help look after the animals and maintain the paddocks. Dressage skills may be beneficial but certainly not necessary
  We really need someone to help us with the household chores.
  Generally:
  We just need help with the day to day running of the house. Washing, mopping floors, bathrooms, dusting, cooking dinner, weeding the gardens, looking after the horses etc.
  my list of chores is never ending!! So whatever your area of expertise/interest you would be able to help me!! All help is greatly appreciated!!!
  we are so far behind on all our jobs outside. Now it has finally rained and the grass is finally growing it's looking beautiful but it means the mowing is endless. We have a ride on mower, zero turn which is pretty cool to use.
  If you are a hard working, self motivated, energetic, outgoing and fun loving person, who enjoys meeting new people and loves animals, we would love you to come and spend some time with us. We love to hear the question, "What can I do to help?"!

  Unterkunft

  We have a beautiful, modern hamptons style 2 storey house set on 10 acres, among the gumtrees, with lovely escarpment views and a swimming pool. There are lots of wild Australian birds (kookaburras, galahs, cockatoos, king parrots, pale headed rosellas etc)& wallabies. (Especially if you are an early riser. Early morning coffees on the verandah are my favourite part of the day!!) You would stay in the house and have your own large room. We also have a swimming pool, perfect for relaxing among the sounds of nature and getting an Australian tan :-)

  Was noch ...

  Toowoomba is a vibrant, growing city, with lots of beautiful parks and gardens and tree lined streets. There are large shopping centres but it still has a country feel. We live between Toowoomba & Crows Nest. There are plenty of cafes, a golf course & a pub within walking distance. Highfields is only a 5 minute drive away and Toowoomba is only 20 minutes. Public Transport is limited, but there is a bus that runs into town. There are loads of bush walks, shops, recreational dams, and scenic spots to visit.
  We have bikes that you can use as well!
