Description
We are busy family of 4 on a little hobby farm in Murphys Creek. Myself (Rebecca),husband and two boys, 7 & 8 who are both at school. Toowoomba is the largest inland regional city in Australia and is an easy 20min drive.
We have 40 acres with chickens for eggs, a large St Bernard, a pug and a Groodle to play with, large heated swimming pool, open top treehouse to star gaze at night and a decent pub just down the road.
You will have your own queen room with toilet.
Our boys will no doubt want you to play on the trampoline and have nurf gun battles every day. If you don’t enjoy children or animals, this is not the place for you.
We have 3 options for work in exchange for full board.
1. We would like a small 3 bed house painted on the outside (instead of other duties).
2. If you have the skill set, we would like a little bathroom renovated, which is at another home on the property. You will be paid for this job.
3. Or, we would require you to do some gardening maintenance. I would also like you to vacuum our floors Monday to Friday and mop once a week.
We love food and to cook. If you like to/can cook, that would be a bonus for our tastebuds 😃
You must be a non smoker and have excellent hygiene standards.

The girls did lots of gardening and tried new things.
Very helpful and clean and tidy.
Would recommend hosting these two.
