My home is a compact 2 bedroom townhouse , a easy 10 minute walk to the CBD of Geelong , train station , waterfront and sea baths. A wonderful regional town on the Bellerine Peninsular, close to surf beaches and the amazing Great Ocean Road.

At present I would appreciate help in my small courtyard garden, and cooking. Carpentry skills would also be great, to replace outdoor timber railing.
