Description
We live on the Mornington Peninsula, just over an hour from Melbourne. My husband and I have a pug, a cat and an expectant chocolate Labrador! Our adult children live independently. We love walking on the beach and exploring the local wineries, meeting up with friends and enjoying all our local area has to offer, including the hot springs. It is the most beautiful location and you’ll never be bored!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a well travelled family, British living in Australia for approx 20 years. My husband is a pastor/social worker and I am a Family Support Case Worker in a local town.
We love meeting new people and hearing their stories and would be willing to advise local and national travel in order to see all Australia has to offer. We live between the bay beach and the back beach so surfing locally is easily accessible.
We have great churches nearby and many sports facilities to suit budding athletes! There are so many great cafes, restaurants and vineyards to explore.

Help
We are looking for help midway through August to midway through September (approx) to help in the garden brand house. We both work so would appreciate some assistance.
Workaway needs to love animals ! Someone who loves to be outside in the garden as we have plenty to do to tidy it up before spring.
We are happy to help at weekends but need someone reliable, sociable and kind to fit in with our home life.
We will feed you well and provide a cosy home base in a popular place in return for support with some maintenance , housework and gardening.
