    Description

    I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, 10 minutes drive to some of the prettiest beaches!
    We also have very pretty hinterland nearby with waterfalls and all the hiking you could wish for.
    I have a timber pole house and a large sloping garden . There is a lot of work in maintaining both and I would really love some help from active willing workers. If you have a background in gardening or home maintenance that would be amazing. I ask for 5 hours of help each day with a cuppa/cake break in the middle🫠

    Help

    I need assistance with lots of pruning, weeding and carting of garden waste. Having someone with landscaping experience who could rebuild a path or 2 would be wonderful. There is also repainting of timber decks and general spring cleaning of the house. Maybe some cooking.

    There are local buses that are walking distance from home that will take you to the beach.
    I am happy to provide meals and am also happy if you would like to cook a meal.
