  Beschreibung

  I am a rural-remote nurse and natural therapist with a love for music, gardening, nature, travel and alternative thinking. I am looking for an adventurous Workawayer who is interested in staying in a cottage next to a seasonal creek and completing house/ landscaping tasks in exchange. The Gemfields is a group of sapphire mining communities and in your spare time, you can benefit from learning about sapphire mining culture such as fossicking, digging and gemstone cutting. If you are keen for an adventure in this unique part of outback Queensland, PM me and I’ll send you my carefully curated information package to entice you further.
  
  Love & Light,
  
  Josh <3
