Description
My name is Alan, I am looking for help with garden and yard maintenance and house chores. My son is moving over seas this year and I need someone willing to help and cover the labour tasks that I cannot amidst my responsibilities in the maintenance of my business. I live on a 3 quarter acre block in the beautiful Mary Valley of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. In my home we live healthily and naturally. No drugs, tobacco or alcohol are consumed here. We live vegetarian with dairy & eggs but the meats, red or white, scales or feathers are no-go. There are no chemicals in house nor pesticides or herbicides used on our land. My home is surrounded by trees and birds and welcomes nature as a friend. Internet connected by cable, zero wi-fi. Mobile reception at 4G. A nice Yamaha upright for the pianist. I live by home-based hand crafted candle-making so I'm mostly around home. Self-educated and self-aware might convey a personal profile I guess but tranquil and contemplative by inclination. If your Loud use headphones, cheers :-)
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
A life-long mystic perhaps ~ 10-years daily Kriya Yoga , then some Vipassana retreats later on with Family life in between. Children became men and embrace their world. Christ's example, as best I'm able to understand it, is the unchanging foundation upon which I strive to behave in the world. Minding my own reality frees me to respect everyones, equably and quietly. Overall I reckon my place is restful to the spirit and healthily active for the body. I observe a balanced life.

Markets each weekend somewhere and weekly access to organic farm-direct produce. A taxi-service daily to Maleny town costs $2 for 20-km trips each way, very handy.
