Description
We are an Australian / French couple and our two young sons living close to the center of Castlemaine.
As well as making documentary films (Alex) and working as an engineer (Yoann) we are engaged in sport and activism in the local community.
We are politically engaged, social and love to host people. We are looking for people who want to help out around the house and possibly at the orchard.
We have loads of projects small and large and love having people come and stay with us.
Length of stay depends on what we're up to when you get in touch. We're happy to provide food and accommodation in a self contained studio in the garden in exchange for 4-5 hrs work a day.
We have a 5 year old & 2 year old and we speak French & English at home.
