  Description

  AVAILABILITY FROM 8 AUGUST
  
  Hello - come join our friendly family in beautiful Manly Vale
  
  We are an Australian family with 2 children, 2 cats, 5 chickens and 1 dog.
  We love the outside lifestyle that Australia offers us and enjoy bush walking, mountain biking, running, camping and generally escaping Sydney when we can.
  
  After spending over 10 years in the corporate world as an accountant, Chris now owns his own fence business - building fences across the Northern beaches of Sydney. He enjoys working hard to meet his customers needs and utilising his love of constructing things ;)
  
  Helen is normally a personal trainer, gym instructor and head of Group Fitness at a local gym but has just had a knee operation so isn’t quite the same active person as normal.
  
  We live in the lovely suburb of Manly Vale close to Manly (NSW, Australia) just 20 minutes walk from the beach and 30 min bus ride to Sydney city centre. There is a shopping centre nearby and lots of other facilities as well as the beautiful parklands and walks around Manly Dam.
