  Description

  *Our November workaway is unable to come due to visa issues. Looking for someone who wants to do landscaping and outdoor tasks.
  
  
  Hi, we’re Katie, David and our three-year-old son, George.
  
  We’re a friendly, easygoing family living in Kingscliff, New South Wales, within walking distance of the beach (600 metres). We love spending time outdoors, whether that’s heading down to the beach, looking out for whales or rainbows, or just enjoying the space. We’re also close to the Gold Coast and many of the beautiful towns throughout the Northern Rivers (Byron Bay is 45 mins).
  
  George is a happy three-year-old who loves construction machinery, trains, being outdoors and meeting new people. He’s full of personality and brings lots of laughter to our home.
  
  We like to have great chats and get to know you, and help out how we can, but we also have a big house and all like solo time too. Come make yourself at home and chat about and also do your own thing.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  David grew up in this area, so we’re always happy to share local knowledge, whether it’s the best beaches, walks, cafés or places to explore in the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast.
  
  Before moving here, I hosted guests in my home for many years in Sydney, so I enjoy talking about travel, Australia and hearing about where other people are from.
  
  We enjoy getting to know the people who stay with us, sharing meals or conversations when it suits, but we also respect that many people like to have their own space and explore independently.
  
  We are often driving to different places for appointments or work and always happy for our guests to come and do their own thing. Sometimes we also have capacity to get you one way and you catch the bus the other way.
  
  We are super chill/ flexible in general.

  Help

  At the moment we are mainly looking for help below for a few weeks in November.
  
  - gardening (we are just starting to create various spaces at the moment, Dave has a bad back so anyone wanting to do manual labour is amazing (nothing too big, and super flexible re timings that work for you)
  - painting fences (your day could look like painting fence in the morning or afternoon and beach the rest of the day)
  - some time with George, just so he gets to know you a little bit
