Description
My wife and I live right on a beautiful beach in a large log home on 80 acres of land, in the Whitsundays ( the most beautiful area in Australia ) . We are not young , and need some help in the house, and garden. A great place to learn about our local flora and fauna. We are wildlife carers looking after orphaned joeys. We have 400m of beautiful beach that is very rarely visited by anyone else, with absolutely clear blue calm seas. We are just outside Hideaway Bay, Qld 4800
