Description
Hi there, welcome to our workaway profile.
We are Rabia and Brian and we are very lucky to live in a beautiful tropical paradise. We think it is one of the most beautiful places in Australia and we would be glad to share it with you.
Occasionally we have availability to host for up to 10 days either in Airlie Beach or on a completely private tropical island in the Whitsundays. (Or both!) Our calendar will show our opportunities.
The work could include weeding, clearing trees / bushes, general gardening, painting and house maintenance. You will be accommodated in your own private room in our house and provided two or three meals per day depending on agreement made to suit you and us.
Important: Please consider carefully if you are able to perform work outdoors in the tropical heat. If you have not experienced it before, it may be more than you can handle. So be prepared. Unfortunately some previous guests thought they were fitter than they really were which made it difficult for other guests and hosts alike.

We travel the world and would love to learn your travel tips and share ours with you. We have extensive knowledge of Australia and how to enjoy yourself without spending all your hard earned money.
Help
We live on a beautiful mountainside home that occasionally needs some maintenance of the gardens and grounds. Landscaping, gardening, clearing palm tree branches, spreading mulch and having a great time is all part of our day.
We have a seasonal waterfall that would make a beautiful picnic and relaxation area and we are planning to work to clear this area as well (someday!)

Brian and Rabia are a really interesting couple and we learned so much from their unique way of life. It was refreshing to be around two truly open minded people, sharing experience and having the best dinner conversations. Talking of dinner, the food… read more
