Description
We are a family of 3 adults and we have my parents living next door. We have 2 dogs (and sometimes a third when we mind our daughters), 1 chicken and a few fish. Our home is a tropical elevated house with a backyard jungle with fruit trees, herbs and vegetables. We are doing renovations to the garden, so need practical hardworkers who dont mind it being warm. The garden is always evolving and there is always plenty to do there. We love sharing the cooking and tasting new dishes too!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a family of three with my parents living next door. You will become part of our extended family. Experience life in tropical Australia with locals. We live near coastal reserves and the ocean so the natural environment is very accessible. We are close to bike/walking paths and mountain bike tracks if you enjoy getting out and getting physical. Walking distance to the local shopping centre, markets, beach and bus routes.
Help
We are looking for experienced helpers with existing skills only at the moment as we work towards a deadline in early July. We are mainly needing help around the house - primarily gardening, maintainance, painting and always cooking and cleaning. If you have a particular skill (carpentry always welcome) let us know as it may be of use. My parents next door also often have jobs to do which we might ask you to help with. We ask for four hours a day each in exchange for all meals and accommodation and are happy to be flexible about how it is worked if you would like to also take some time to explore Darwin and the surroundings. We are seeking practical, hands-on, hardworking helpers. We are not able to help with teaching English at the moment.
