    Description

    Hi my partner and I live on a 5 acre property, it's surrounded by mountains, forests and bush, an hour from Byron Bay and between the beautiful villages of Uki and Nimbin..There are a few sheds plus the main house, beautiful gardens with a pet peacock, wallabies, many birds, and original statues and works in stone, as the previous owner was an artist and sculptor. We are looking for a couple or a single person, to help with renovations, gardening and maintenance of the property. Painting, some help with light building (I can teach some carpentry skills), clearing unwanted vegetation, tidying up the place. I play music and my wife paints etc. We have. truck with a cabin behind, (on the tray), it's quite special, for you to stay in.

    You would be entertained by the numerous Birdlife, the Peacock, the Wallabies, all free to roam as they please. Beautiful views out to the mountains, with natural running creeks nearby to swim in. I can teach some carpentry and gardening skills, we are also building a tiny house on wheels. We are friendly and easy going. People into playing music Wellcome. There are 2 small villages nearby, and larger historical towns. The area is abundant with wildlife and beautiful visas and farms. There is a small grocery shop nearby, and our property winds down to a seasonal creek.

    People who have an interest in or experience with renovating, like painting, light building, carpentry. Gardening interest, like pruning, planting, landscape. Maintenance tasks, like irrigation, pumps, water tanks, plumbing. We are hoping to build toilet and bathroom amenities for workaways. Maybe a small kitchen. We have only recently moved to the property, so are still cleaning and moving stuff around a lot.
