  Description

  SEEKING HELP the week of MAY 19th for painting room.
  Howdy, I am a passionate gardener, nature and people lover. I live in a beautiful part of Australia surrounded by absolute beauty with stunning beaches, lush bushland and gorgeous waterways. I purchased the home I grew up in and have been steadily working away making improvements and establishing vegetable gardens as well as planting out native gardens. I am currently in the planning stage of building a chicken run/pen which will be my next endeavour. I grow lots of amazing fresh vegetables and love hanging out in the garden or at the beach. I am a very confident, outgoing, friendly person. I love meeting new people and sharing my space, produce and local knowledge. I am a fulltime award-winning musician and songwriter. I have two dogs that are my besties and I currently share my house with three other people. My town is super friendly, sits along the banks of the Macleay River which flows out to the infamous South West Rocks beach. I am 18 minutes away from the Best point break on the East coast of Australia ( Crescent Head ) and only 25 minutes from Hat head, 30 mins to South West Rocks and 30 minutes to Port Macquarie. If tou wish to go bush there's Willawarrin, Bellbrook and Bellingen just up the road. This are is natures wonderland. Great fishing, surfing and many many things to see and do.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I can help connect you to any hobbies you have and any travel adventures you wish to have. I teach ukulele and singing and am happy to give some lessons. I also love teaching about gardening if you are interested. I have many friends from all walks of life here and only too happy to share my social life with BBq's and beach get togethers or going out to see live music. I hope to make good friends and connections by being a host and learn about other cultures and countries.

  Help

  There are always tasks to do at my place. Everything from assisting building a chicken shed to making composts. I need people who don't mind getting in and having a good go and if you are handy with power tools and have building experience and skills this is an advantage. Gardeners are also so welcome as there is always tasks like mulching, weeding, harvesting , collecting dung and doing general garden chores. I like working with people as well as leaving people to work by themselves if they're confident they can do the tasks themselves. I'm flexible and happy to discuss arrangements with each different person.

  Accommodation

  I have a very comfortable, secure, clean caravan that is located in the backyard with a lovely rural view of paddocks and cows. I provide food for breakfast and lunch which you make yourself and I make an evening meal to share.

  What else ...

  We have unlimited internet here with a good connection. There is a river a 100 metres from my place and lovely walking areas. I am a busy musician and prefer guests who can work independently and are comfortable sharing my space. I am reasonably relaxed, have a good attitude and enjoy learning new skills. If you love the beach you will not be disappointed. The nature in my area is very very beautiful. Kangaroos, koalas, native birds and echidnas are all in my area and surrounds.
