Description
We are a retired couple living in the Byron Hinterland on a rural property.
We have a small citrus orchard and fruit trees, vege garden. We also have chickens, 5 pet sheep and 2 border collie dogs.
Our home is 130 years old. We would love someone who could help my husband maintain our gardens and also some minor repairs and maintenance around the place.
We have a comfortable self contained cabin which we would be willing to provide as well as meals, in exchange for helping around the place.
Ideally someone who would be available for a month, would be great.
We live about 30 mins from the coast between Ballina and Byron Bay.
There is a nearby creek for cool dips, or our own swimming pool.
Your own transport would be necessary. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We can offer a true Aussie experience and guidance in travelling Australia from our extensive travels in Australia.
Any one who stays with us and interested in travel around Australia will benefit. We are always happy to advise and recommend places of interest to visit and see.
Sitting around our camp fire and enjoying a camp oven dinner, a very authentic experience. -
Help
Would love someone who could help my husband sort his shed out.
Help tidying the gardens, pruning, weeding and general cleaning of the yard.
Some practical skills in home maintenance would be great.
We would be able to assist and work beside you in a lot of the projects. -
