I spent two weeks with Ross and Joanne and their daughter's family and I really enjoyed my stay. The place is great, you feel at home like member of the family and you can chat to them of everything and discover Aussie life. That was my first Workoway with a family and I'll have good memories ! Thank you very much for your welcome :)
