Description
We are married with a 19 year old, a 16 year old, a spoodle dog and have lived in Brisbane for the last 17 years. We have travelled extensively to all parts of the world and have lived in both England and South Africa. We enjoy a nice glass of wine or cold beer every evening whilst sitting on our deck enjoying spectacular city views.
We have a double bedroom with ensuite. We also have a beautiful swimming pool for you to enjoy and you can join my husband for a round of golf or go out on his boat fishing in stunning Moreton Bay.
My husband is a civil engineer and I work in recruitment.
We are making improvements to our home and would love it if you could help us build a few stud walls (carpentry/joiner skills would be very useful), tiling, plastering, landscaping and also help with painting. -

We have a beautiful, recently decorated bedroom with its own bathroom downstairs in our house. We also have another bedroom downstairs if we have more helpers. Both bedrooms have ceiling fans. Our house is large enough for you to find your own quiet space if you need it. We have internet access and cable/Fox TV. We are 5-10 minutes walk from Cannon Hill Train Station and bus stops.
We are perfectly located for easy access to the motorway for trips to the Sunshine Coat and Gold Coast. -

There is so much to do in Brisbane. Great activities include exploring the beaches of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, Exploring the hinterland, fishing, mountain biking, golfing, wineries, rock climbing. If there is anything in particular you would like to do we can arrange for you.
We are 5-10 minute walk to Cannon Hill Train Station and local bus stops. The closest river ferry is Bulimba and is a 5 minute bus ride away. -
