  Description

  Hi, I'm Mandy :-)
  
  I'm revegetating my 3/4 acre property near Maleny on the Sunshine Coast hinterland, Queensland. I'm a 62 year old retired academic and jazz musician, my hobbies are playing many kinds of music, latin dancing and ballet. I'm fortunate to live in an area of great natural beauty, with rolling green hills and rainforest. There are amazing rainforest bush walks within a short drive, the beach is a 45 min drive away and Brisbane about 90 mins away. Maleny is a small town with a vibrant creative and intellectual community.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I love sharing travel stories and food, and enjoy taking visitors on bushwalks and attending local live music events. You'll learn about Australian native flora and fauna :-) I enjoy the company of young people and hearing their dreams and aspirations :-) If you're a musician I'd love to jam with you!

  Help

  I'm looking for help working alongside me with my native garden and revegetation project, mainly weeding and mulching. My place is suitable for one or two people. Maximum stay will probably be a week, and I may only need you to work 3-4 days in the week.

  Accommodation

  You'll be staying in my guest studio which has a queen bed, lounge and dining area, kitchen, TV, ceiling fan and air con. The daybed/lounge can be also used as a bed if you sleep separately.
  
  The studio has a separate entrance and shared walls with my living space. You'll share the bathroom and laundry with me. We can negotiate meals :-)

  What else ...

  You'll need your own transport as my place is 10 mins from town and there is no public transport.
  
  You'll need suitable clothing for gardening - long sleeves, long pants, boots and hat. I will supply gloves.
  
  No smoking or drugs.
