Beschreibung
Needing a house sitter from 8 - 19 May.

G’day, my name is Sandi. I am a retired gardener, keen fisherman and touring cyclist. I am developing my retirement retreat set on three acres overlooking the rural village of St Marys and Break O'Day valley. St Marys has all the essentials of life and close to the east coast and surrounding national parks and bushlands. My life is relaxed, content, yet full of excitement.

Was ist das?
Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Life is a two way street. You only get back what you give. I like art, cooking, dogs, fishing, reading, a diverse range of music, discussing world events, the natural environment, quiet times, meeting people, sharing stories and long distance bicycle touring. Most importantly, I am open to all cultural mixes.
Arbeit
Please bring some common sense, positive attitude and a willingness to help with what ever is priority. Some practical skills would be fantastic. Current projects include construction of retaining walls, frog ponds, pathways, fencing, new plantings, garden mulching and general maintenance.

Jayson was a fantastic addition to the team. Always smiling and happy to get on and do whatever was priority for each day. Dry stone walling is now within his capabilities. Well done Jayson and thanks again for calling in to say g’day and harvest the pepper berries. Travel safe buddy.

It's hard to put into words the experience of Sandi's. While the place is beautiful and you will learn alot about his vision of natural garden principles and water retention the real reason to stay at Sandi's planet isn't for the planet but for the company of Sandi himself.

However even if 95% of the time were very pleasant he sometimes got aggravated and it was hard to explain the situation to him. He also has a clear imagination what he expects you to do. On… read more
