  Description

  Hey.
  We are a five person household living in Whitfield (Cairns).
  Our house is 6 bedrooms so you will have somewhere to sleep that is just for you.
  We also have a puppy (Mochi). The garden is large and sprawling and we are close to edge hill cultural precinct, botanic gardens, and walking tracks.
  We are eco conscious. Not a party house. Enjoy cultural exchange and political discussion.
  We would prefer workaway guests to be over 30 and femme/non-binary folx.
  
  We enjoy people who like sharing books they have read, games they enjoy to play, meals they enjoy cooking, or some other enjoyable home life activity. WE DO NOT HOST PEOPLE currently Job searching.
  
  Our house can be a little crazy and we are often busy so you should have plenty of time to yourself.
  
  At the moment we are a combination of Australian, English, Canadian, Portuguese, and Argentinian.

  Help

  Hi.
  We are looking for people who are willing to contribute meaningfully to the household.
  The garden requires frequent weeding and mulching.
  The house requires maintenance including, the irrigation system needs checking, the plants need some maintenance, the lawn requires some care, etc. Our dog loves going for a walk.
  We live in a tropical place so things need frequent cleaning to prevent mould. We prefer people who are capable of self starting and can self direct their help rather than relying on too much direction.

  Accommodation

  We have a bed in a private room. This is simple accommodation and as we are in the tropics we can be prone to having mosquitoes. Shared bathroom. The room is not very fancy but the mattress is comfortable.
