    Description

    Hello, my name is John . I’m an artist and a photographer who loves nature. I’m also really into meditation and good spiritual conversations. I’m currently renovating a house in Landers Shoot, in the beautiful Sunshine Coast Hinterland. It’s on a couple of acres, out in the bush with lots of trees and birds. A quiet, peaceful place.

    I’m looking for people who can help me out a bit on the property. Examples of tasks might include help with cleaning and cooking, planting garden beds, weeding garden beds, planting native trees and shrubs, creating a fruit orchard, removing Lantana, making tree guards, leaf blowing driveway, raking up leaves, some help with building tasks. As the house is being repaired and renovated the set-up is fairly simple here. Sleeping options include an Avan (caravan) or a daybed with mosquito net out on the Veranda. I love playing guitar and singing. And I’d love to take you out and show you some of the beautiful natural places in the area. Sunshine Coast beaches are about 20 minutes away. The townships of Palmwoods and Eudlo are about four minutes away. Chenrezig Buddhist place is about five minutes away. The picturesque tourist town of Montville is about 10 minutes away.

    Happy to share meals but possibly willing to negotiate less hours if you pay towards food.
