Description
We are a family of 5 (including our dog!).
We live in Goolwa Beach of South Australia. A truly beautiful part of the world – Goolwa is just an hour’s drive south of Adelaide and is a historic river port where the Murray mouth and Southern Ocean meet. With front row seats to epic sunsets over the Coorong, an important Aboriginal culture of the Ngarrindjeri people, and abundant wildlife, Goolwa is a popular holiday destination.
My background is Sri Lankan and my husbands is French. We have two happy and healthy boys and a dog!
I manage the local Artisan Market and my husband works as a Carpenter. We purchased an acre block of land 1 year ago and would love some help in building our shed home.
