    We work from home and have a little dog. Island life is quiet at night so we generally retire around 10.30pm. Smoking is outside only. Transport to the island is by ferry and we travel regularly to the mainland so we could pick up Workaways from Brisbane and bring them to the ferry and vice-versa to return to Brisbane. There is also public transport to and from the ferry from Brisbane. We have electric bikes and a car for transport around the island. For your time off there is swimming, kayaking, fishing, cycling or walking and many island activities such as arts and music groups and social groups.
