    Description

    I am a wife and mum and along with my husband Tony have 3 children, aged 18 (boy), 16 (girl) and 14(boy). we live on a vegetable farm 1 hr west of Brisbane.

    It is a beautiful area, surrounded by the great dividing range, 7kms to our closest town, Gatton which has all types of shops and supplies.

    My husband manages the vegetable farm and I am a stay at home mum with an online business.

    We are a typical country family who enjoy the outdoors, mountain biking, camping, mountain climbing, water skiing.

    I enjoy having people stay with us from all over the world so our family can learn about different cultures.

    I travelled as a backpacker years ago and had a family who opened their home to me, so I like to give the opportunity to others too
