Description
I am a long time Broome resident, with a lot of local knowledge to share.
I have 3 children and 6 grandchildren none of whom currently live in Broome.
I like warm weather and only go south to visit family and friends.
My favourite holiday is camping under the stars. I love to go bush, and also to visit freshwater country in the Kimberleys.
I would like help in the garden and in the house - doing cleaning and some maintenance work.
I am offering lovely private accommodation, a double bedroom with ensuite, separate lounge/dining and outdoor kitchen.
My house is a short walk from lovely Cable Beach, through Minyirr Park at end of street and over sand dunes.
Happy to share an evening meal, and negotiable as to whether food is included in the exchange.
I would prefer a couple who like to do garden work and small jobs around the house.
My house and garden are strictly non-smoking.
I am a quiet living person, and am friendly, sociable, and love live music and dancing.

Accommodation
Self contained rooms at front of house.
You may be asked to share this accommodation with another workawayer (females will NOT be asked to share with males, unless they have come as a couple). Usually this will only be for an overlap of a few days.
Although separate bedrooms, one is used to access the bathroom, the other is used to access the kitchen.
We can discuss the food situation as I am flexible. As people eat at different times, the evening meal is the best one to be shared.
What else ...
A short walk to the middle of beautiful Cable Beach.
Plenty to do in Broome, good live music, great yoga teachers.
If you are without a car, bus is about 1km walk away.
I have bikes available for loan.
