Description
I live on 2 properties, one is a Community with animals and lots of ground work, in the mountains and I’m building a house at the base of Mount Tamborine. My area is 45 minutes from the Gold Coast but in the beautiful Hinterland.I’m 63 but very fit and active.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I’m Canadian but have lived here for 40 years. The property is 150 acres with about 12 homes on it. We have regular community events and we’re generally a happy group. I speak French and would love to speak with other French people.

Help
On the big property, there would be whipper snipping, pulling out Lantana, mowing, maybe some painting or general maintenance. We always have something to do on the property. On my own place we’ll be helping with a build. It’ll be a lot of fun and not too hard work.

I was a French teacher for 26 years and I was born in Quebec so I can speak both Quebecois (not as well) and French from France. I’d love to learn some Spanish too. -
Accommodation
I will either have a tiny house, a rooftop tent or a Gypsy wagon for you to sleep in. I’m an okay cook but I do a lot of healthy foods so if you love junk food, you may not always love some of my creations like avocado cacao pudding, etc.

What else ...
Transport on the property would be fairly easy because someone is always heading into the small town of Canungra. If you have your own transport that’s easier for you but we can work around it. Brisbane and the Gold Coast are under an hour away so you could pop out for your days off. There are lots of hikes here in the mountains and fabulous markets. Mount Tamborine has lots of artsy things and it’s really beautiful.

Can host digital nomads
Our internet is pretty good but you may need to go into the library in Canungra if the weather is really bad but I've had no issues with Workawayers accessing it. I got Starlink specifically so Workawayers have reliable internet.

Space for parking camper vans
We have parking spaces for campers and motorhomes. You may need to use a composting toilet in certain places on the big property.
-
Can possibly accept pets
Yes, pets are allowed. You’d need to be responsible with your animals so they don’t bother others on either property.
