    Description

    Hi !
    I live in a 5 bedroom house in the Northern Rivers, Goonellabah. I work as a Highschool teacher and artist and I am out most days during the week. My son is studying and working and has his own room with an on-suite. I have a daugther who is 22 and lives in Brisbane. I need some light help around the house and garden and other tasks that involve occasional driving.You will have a bedroom with a beautiful view. Shower and toilet are shared with me and you have acess to all facilities in the house ( internet, kitchen, spa). There are two lovely doggies in the house as well.
    I used to live on a farm and often hosted woofers in the past which has always been a great experience and i love meeting new people. I can give you lots of good tips what to explore in the region.
