Description
G'day and welcome to Australia. My daughter (23 years) and I live in a beautiful seaside suburb of Brisbane Queensland close to waterfront with many cafes and walks. I am looking for a couple (any age) who would like to share our home with us and our beautiful border collie and two cats. Our home is a big old queenslander style with a pool and we have a very laid back, casual aussie lifestyle. We are close to a railway station that takes you straight into Brisbane city in under 30 minutes. On your days off you can do beautiful walks in the hinterland, go to our local markets, take a ferry to stradbroke and moreton islands and other islands off the coast.
Types of help and learning opportunities

Animal Care
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In return you will have the comfort of our home, laundry facilities, pool to splash around in and sometimes use of my car. I will provide breakfast and dinner each day and can cater if you are vegetarian. However we do like to have the good old aussie BBQ from time to time. Happy to also help you improve your english.
Help
I ideally seek a couple who are wanting to help me out for four hours each day for 5 days having 2 days off per week.
Starting with dog walking twice per day for an hour each time. Our dog being a border collie needs lots of exercise. There is a dog beach within walking distance that you can take her for swims too. I would also require a few hours of housework per day and some hours gardening and a little bit of painting. So four hours per day for each person and then the rest of the day is all yours to discover the local area.

Accommodation
You will have a room downstairs in our home which is private. It is a double bed with plenty of room. The bathroom is share with myself and my daughter. Again as stated above, I will be happy to supply breakfast and dinner.
What else ...
As already mentioned the suburb in which we live lends itself to long walks beside the water, cafes, restaurants, sailing and other water activities. There are beautiful islands offshore that you can visit or stay over with kangaroos, koalas, whale watching etc.
