    Description

    Hello I am Helen and I have a small house on Tuggerah Lake, NSW. In September I will need some help with a sustainable garden.

    I have travelled extensively throughout my life, and I have volunteered overseas on many projects. I have also hosted many Workaway’s in my previous home in Queensland and I have also been a Workaway in Italy for several months. It is a wonderful platform and I encourage anyone who wants to learn about themselves as well as others just to spend some time volunteering and helping, it is so rewarding.

    You will have your own room, there is good wi fi and lots to do in this area for everyone.
    There are trains and buses nearby.
    Tuggerah Lake, an intermittently open intermediate wave dominated barrier estuary[1] that is part of the Tuggerah Lakes, is located within the Central Coast Council local government area in the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. The lake is located near Wyong and is situated about 90 kilometres (56 mi) north of Sydney.
