Description
Hello! i am presently mainly at Killcare but do go back and forth to Nambucca Heads where i have a second home.
The two locations are:
1.killcare on the central coast 1.2 hours north of sydney
2. nambucca heads: on the mid north coast 5 hours north of sydney, half hr south of Coffs Harbour.
I am mainly in Killcare but can occassionally go north and take you if it works with my schedule.
killcare has awsome spots surrounded by ocean and bay and national parks.and surfing and boating... Nambucca is fantastic as well..authentic bush..close to beautiful rainforests..amazing river, great surfing.
work schedule:
work hours only 3 hrs per day (or 2.5 hours if you have your own transport) instead of five days since I do not supply food or cook. Then two days off.
i prefer to work in morning... this allows everyone to have a full afternoon and evening off so can check out area. However if if surfing its best to surf early so happy to adjust schedule to suit and work later.
Work required:
Workawayers that enjoy learning manual skills mainly to do outside tasks, general gardening, and indoor cleaning and some painting if raining. I can teach you as you go. Both locations regularly need bush gardening..ie remove weeds and small trees and bushes from the roots..and painting and general maintenance...can create a small project in the large bush gardens..you need to be willing do do outside work..so not afraid to be outside hands on and in the bush!
In both places you can surf, bodyboard, go kayaking, paddleboarding ,hike and bike..
Vibe of space: use it as a quiet moment to be with nature and collect your thoughts and energy..i am just retired so resting and just being after owning and running a demanding business.
I am an easy going busy person into painting and photography and have my own home and a rental houses both on bushland that need upkeep. I am becoming an artist and mainly paint landscape and ocean. i love nature and animals and people.
I am happy to take you all the good nature spots..have body boards you can use and surf boards and kayaks. the areas and me are about nature. You also have your freedom.. after work you can know you can relax and do your own thing and i can take you to nearby places if it suits. So if you want a hit of nature ocean and quiet and as much independence as you need this is it..if you want to paint and take photos in spare time..great! Please bring paint..i use oils.
Food and Cooking:Workawayers supply and cook their own food. I am now on a mainly plant based basic diet and eat too simply so this way works well for everyone.
I have condiments you can use and some food to use up you are welcome to.
I prefer to eat an early dinner and i retire at about 8pm. You can do as you wish!
Alchohol..can easily buy locally...you can purchase nearby.
Smoking: smoking allowed but outside away from the house. I have a back area you can use.
on days off: workawayers can take the ferry to sydney from Wagstaff or relax and enjoy the beautiful beaches and bush here. Both unique and so much to see and do....
Other Responsibilities: Workaways are responsible for cleaning their own dishes and help in keeping the kitchen clean so it feels a cool organized space. Bedroom is to be cleaned at end of stay.
Please note:
When coming to killcare i will pick you up at woy woy however only between 9 and 5pm. Otherwise please arrange uber or taxi.
Cheers.
Cheryl

Oh my gosh…… James is amazing! He really raises the bar on having a workawayer in your home. He’s charming, a great conversationalist, and stays focused on getting the job done. James enjoys being in the moment and loves helping others. I highly recommend having James as a workawayer and would always be happy to have him stay with us again.
