  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live in a very unique part of the world. I think because of the remote location, the local Aboriginal cultural is incredibly strong. A permit is required to visit this part of the world, and it is not open for tourism. In our home we speak English, however the local community speaks a number of Aboriginal languages. A once in a lifetime experience.

    We are looking for some support with our children in the afternoons. The island does not have a childcare, and we are attempting to work. Our eldest attends preschool until 12:30, and our work day ends at 4:30pm, so approximately 4 hours Monday to Friday.
