Description
We are 2 adults in our late 50's. And there is Billie a lovely 3 year old dog who needs lots of play and a daily walk! Our 22 and 26 year old sons live away from home. Other friends come and stay from time to time but sometimes we like some company and need help with gardening and fixing things.
We have lived in Darwin for 27 years and are involved in social justice and community work. We are fish eating vegequarians and try to live as sustainably as we can.
We have lots of work to do in the garden and some possible house projects fixing things and making things from old stuff. We love music, food and people!

Accommodation
1. An outside 'studio' - a large room which is very open but private in the garden. There is a composting toilet, an outside (cold) shower and a sink, and it is close to the pool.
2. We also have a small caravan as an option.
Note the weather in Darwin is warm all year round so sleeping out is lovely.
Our house is small but has everything we need
3. We also have a spare room in the house if the outside accommodation is unsuitable and if it is available and not being used by family or friends visiting.
What else ...
Darwin is an interesting town with lots of beautiful places nearby. We live in the northern suburbs near Rapid Creek. We are all pretty busy ( music, sport, yoga, circus, acting, social justice work ) but try to cook and eat meals together. We have often had people staying with us, we have all travelled and would love to welcome other like minded people into our house.
