    Description

    I have a small farm and some horses and have spent my life competing in show jumping, eventing and dressage. I have ceased competing but still love to be around horses. I love to travel and also own a mill in mid Pyrinees in France. On my farm I would like general farming help and experienced help with horses. I was a host for 20 years. I like to recycle reuse and reduce so I'm interested in farming without the use of chemicals. I also have a cute JR bitch for light comic relief. My house has a self contained guest room with bathroom and sitting room. I also love art and making things from recycled materials.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    I'm close to fabulous surf beaches, lovely forests and lakes. If you like fishing it's a nice walk to the lake, for bream, whiting and flathead. Buchan Caves are an hour's drive away if you like exploring underground.
    If you're coming by Vline train and coach from Melbourne I'm close to a bus stop at Forestec or Bairnsdale train station and will pick you up.
