    Description

    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!
