Description
We are a young family of 4 living with two older people. We live on the Northern Beaches in beautiful Pittwater on an island in 1 of the 3 harbours of Sydney, so boat access only!!!
It is a beautiful place, with a very close knit community and very different from most places you've been to!
Not easy every day but I guess that is also what brought us here!
We really like to meet new people and to share our simple lifestyle.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practice
DIY and building projects
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Help with Computers/ Internet
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a French/Australian family, we like to have people around, we really enjoy to have good conversation around dinner once the kids are in bed! We can teach you a different perspective on building we aren’t doing it the conventional way and it is a very hard an slow process but we hope for a house at the end of this journey!
We take on lots of help and we also like to hear different way of doing so if you have any experience maybe you can share a few things with us.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We have a few tasks that may be required so depending if you are a single person or a couple and depending we might change things around.
We are in the process of building (not there yet) so things to do with preparing the built or carrying building materials can be things to do.
But we would love to get some help around the house and clearing the garden.
And also help with the kids.
We also have a boat and have things to take care of so if you know about boat/Yacht send us a message!

What else ...
We leave in a really beautiful place and it is quite isolated. But not hard to access there is ferry every hour it's about 5$ across when you get the ferry pass :)
The buses are quite frequent and the village/town is only 10 minutes ride on the bus. Sydney city is another 50 minutes to an hour. Bus ride from there.
You can access the national park by water with the ferry
There is nice walks there if the weather is nice.
