    Description

    I live on a stunning rural farm in Tooborac, in Central Victoria.

    I collect, recycle and repurpose a lot of different materials, machines, woods and plastics. I also enjoy repairing cars, building and managing the land.

    I love the serenity and solitude of living on the land. I live in a peaceful area. I have two grown children who have moved and settled down in different areas but visit when they can.

    I am now in my 60's and would love the help of some fit workawayers to assist me with the management of the land and various hobby projects.
