    Description

    I live on 13 acres on the river in the beautiful Kangaroo Valley. I am a retired nurse!
    I love living in this peaceful & picturesque location! My trusty hound dog Rufus does too!
    I have 6 cows & way too many chickens!
    My pursuits include spinning, knitting, weaving, felting, mosaics & gardening (I did a Horticulture course when we moved here)!
    I love meeting & hanging out with all sorts of people (we had 2 young Swiss guys stay a couple of years ago)!
    My daughter Chloe is a Vet, but lives & works north of Sydney at the moment!

    Help

    I’d love help in the garden, mostly the veggie garden! I need to reclaim it !!!
    Your accomodation will be a wee caravan that we have restored, but I need help to paint the outside (& some youthful creative ideas)!
    Also, at some point I’d like to make steps down to the river, for easier access!
    The cows need attention infrequently, but we have a new set of yards! The chickens just need feeding & roam over our WHOLE property!!!!
    Basically, we like fun & want our quests to enjoy that with us!
