  Description

  Hi there,
  
  We are James and Kirsty, and we live in the beautiful hinterland of the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
  
  Our ideal candidate will have their own transportation. To enjoy the coast and staying with us it is essential that you have your own car, as my house is not served by public transport.
  
  The sunshine coast is home to some of the best surf beaches in the world, with whale watching, scuba diving, and beaches.
  
  The hinterland has bushwalking in rainforests, where you can swim under pristine waterfalls, rock climbing, mountain biking, and camping.
  
  The sunshine coast also boasts world class restaurants, pubs, and great cafes for enjoying brunch and coffee..
  
  Our home is 15 minutes drive from Coolum Beach, in a peaceful semi rural area. Enjoy the peace, relaxing in the pool, and the views of the sugar cane fields.
  
  We live Ruby the friendly labrador. My (James) adult children are studying away from home and my appear now and again for the weekend.
  
  I'm looking for help with maintenance inside and outside of my house, and my large garden. The work I offer is varied, and matched to your talents. From the removal of invasive weeds from my native garden, and mulching of garden beds, pruning of my fruit trees, oiling timber, cleaning the pool, cooking.
