Description
I am a mature aged woman who profoundly loves and respects nature. That is why I live amidst it on a community in far north NSW, Australia (sometimes known as Rainbow Region) . The maintenance of my 2 acre property, surrounded by rainforest ,is starting to be too much work for one. I would welcome some help fixing it up. Clearing , weeding, pruning, mowing re- shaping and generally tidying it up. I would prefer 2 people.It is in a beautiful location and many other workers including other volunteers have loved it!

They will learn about the beauty of this area and what life on a community is like. They can witness the creativity of the alternative lifestyles of this region. I am also an ESL teacher so I can teach them English. As well ,the joy of working together to manage the land naturally and enjoy the many native plants and creatures of this place. And I am a well seasoned traveler myself and welcome cultural diversity.

Accommodation
There is a separate large comfortable studio space away from my house. I can cook one main meal as well as provide food for breakfast & lunch. Workawayers are welcome to use kitchen in breaks. Vegetarian and non- vegetarian catered for.
What else ...
I live in a very 'colourful , alternative ' part of Australia which is a real experience to explore. Both the people and geography. National parks abound. Scenery is very rich. Away from the rat race of city life. I live a fairly quiet semi-reclusive, self managing & independent lifestyle - by choice. However , when inclined , I visit surrounding towns and Brisbane. I only ask for obvious respect and tranquility to match these peaceful surroundings. My previous experiences with workers were all positive about which they have willingly documented.
