General gardening and DIY in Lyonville, VIC, Australia

  Description

  I’m a single lady living on a property that requires some maintenance, on top of my general landscaping. I do stone work, wood work and leadlight. I have built several structures and stone walls on my property and with ageing, I find I require some help to continue my projects. I have been practicing all of the above for now 8 years so I can teach you quite a lot. I live in one of the most beautiful region of Victoria, near Daylesford. I am surrounded by forest and have access to trails ( walking/riding) which you can accompany me for long rides in our beautiful forest ( Mongoose dual suspension mountain bike) . I also go for bush walks every Friday with a group which you are welcome to join. I can provide vegetarian meals if wanted but am happy if you need meat ( it is just that I rarely eat meat myself) Mostly, the food is organic and chemical/processed free. I enjoy playing card/board games in the evening if this suits you and also watch movies ( World foreign movies). I can provide a bedroom inside the house, or a caravan where you can have your own space. Access to all facilities, laundry … internet reception is great due to being at 800 metres above sea level and an antenna a km away. Canoeing on Daylesford lake may be a possibility if you help me load it on my truck ( single hard shell 22 kg. Mine is only 12 kg 😁) Daylesford is the closest town ( 16 km away) and has a lot to offer for tourist ( and to us locals) and about an hour or so from Melbourne.
