Help with some garden projects in Western Creek, TAS, Australia

Details

• 

  Description

  We care for a beautiful 45 acre property in northern Tasmania. The pristine Western Creek runs through it, with cool pools for refreshing dips.
  There is a substantial orchard and vegetable garden, accommodation separate to the house and a straw bale yoga studio which we built in 2006.
  
  We have about 15 sheep, 4 friendly goats and lots of wildlife.
  
  The Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage area is the back drop to the south with many great walking opportunities.
  
  We'd love to hear from you.

  Comfortable but with power, separate to the house. There is a separate kitchen and bathroom for guests use. We suggest being independent for breakfasts, we will provide the ingredients, and to share lunches and the evening meal in our house.

  What else ...

  WiFi and phone reception is available, Telstra works best. However our download is limited and its best if you only need this occasionally.
  
  We have quite an extensive library of novels and non-fiction books you may enjoy, 2 bicycles, some hiking gear. It is also a very peaceful place to simply be during free time.
  
  We appreciate our quiet time as well as sharing our experience, interests and knowledge and hearing about yours.
