Description
We are currently seeking someone to help with housework and some miner building, painting, cleaning handyman stuff. Ideally a couple. We only have a double bed and no single beds)
We need someone that is responsible and love lots of animals.
We are in an area called Koah which is about 15 minutes west of Kuranda and about 1 hours from Cairns CBD. We have no public transport available at this stage.
We generally will go to Cairns or Mareeba for supplies at least once a fortnight. We don't offer transport. You must have your own or be prepared to wait until we go to town.
Because we are building there is a bedroom available upstairs but it has not yet been painted but is clean and air conditioned. We have a lovely acreage with dogs,chooks, goats, birds and various wildlife. Our property backs on to a river which you can go down and enjoy a swim at any time.
Please DO NOT apply if you are a smoker. I have a Lung Disease and cannot be around this kind of environment.
If you can help us please let us know.
You need to be able to speak English
Please do not email us unless you can help in any of the above.....(thank you)
Once again Public transport is very limited if you have your own transport that would be an advantage but not necessary . If the Australian country is what you want to experience we can help you with this.
We can supply cooking equipment, fridge and basic equipment you will supply your own food.
Types of help and learning opportunities

Help
We are looking for has someone that is very reliable, and loves animals. On days we don't need your help you could plan to go to the reef or sight see through the day and explore what our area offer.
Languages spoken

Accommodation
We are located at the start of the Atherton Tablelands which have many beautiful attractions. If you are looking for a lot of night life or being close to shops then this property will NOT suit you. Your accommodation is a aircon room. With double bed. It needs painting but we are waiting on plasterer to come and finish the final coat. It is upstairs and private. You will have your own separate bathroom/toilet.
What else ...
Please carefully read the above and contact us if you think you can help us. Please do not email if you do not fit our criteria as I hate having to turn people away. Once again no smokers....THANK YOU..
