Hello,..We are a vegetarian family of five ( 3 children from 10-17yrs, I boy and 2 girls and a dog). We are in the process of finishing building a new family home (with home office and guest accommodation) in our local village on the edge of Brisbane. Samford Village has a lovely rural feel but is only 30min from the CDB of Brisbane. We have endeavoured to make the house a show case of Green Design and now would love to have some help establishing the gardens and finishing of bit of timber oiling and staining. We have had great experiences with hosting workaways previously on an acreage property and now hope that we can continue to meet and make friends with more great people from around the world. We have a spare bedroom and bathroom and a pool. The house is very close to the local cafes and shops and there is access to the train station to the city for weekends. Lots of great walks and nearby National Park.

We are a simple family trying to balance professional life with living a green spiritual lifestyle. Not perfect by any means but an interesting case study! :). We are both architects so also lots of discussion around building and landscape design. Sonia also has knowledge on gardening and medicinal herbs. We enjoy showing visitors the local walks and swimming holes. A number of workaways have joined us on beach holidays / day trips.
