Description
I live in the centre of the city, but the project is on a farm in Birches Bay, where I go approximately twice a week. It's a 45 minute drive from the city.
I’m a retired Landscape Designer and Construction Contractor. I live in the centre of the city and love the convenience of access to all the things at my fingertips. Restaurants, bars, shopping, and public transport are everywhere.
I enjoy having friends and family around to dinner and because they also live in town they can walk home.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
At the farm we will have lunch with the owner and the staff who are an interesting bunch from all walks of life. Much knowledge changes hands about farming and hobbies etc.
I am a keen bike rider and invite him or her to join me on the bike i will provide. I love to ride somewhere stop for a coffee then ride home.
I am a sociable person and enjoy going out for a beer or a movie etc. I will also advise them about what’s on so they can stay entertained. There are some great places to go and some great markets to visit.
I’m keen to learn about their history and listen to their music. I have a great stereo!
Help
I have a yard on a farm in the country where I store my landscape products. We will be maintaining the yard and rearranging the products . It is physical work and involves lifting heavy items so you need to be fit. I have a lot of interesting articles that I have collected over the years.
I also require assistance with my computer and phone as technical skills are not my strong point.
