Help with DIY, gardening and house work in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
We have a long term renovation in progress, are also in the process of decluttering and have a lovely fruitful garden that needs constant love and attention.
We are a small family of 3 living on 1 acre in Lawnton, Brisbane. There is plenty of space to find your happy nest inside and outside, or relaxing in the pool.
