Description
I'm Graham
I live on a 117-acre property, and I'm looking for someone to help out around my private house and garden.
Typical tasks will involve cleaning, gardening, basic maintenance and other odd jobs around the property.
A strong work ethic is crucial, and we emphasize enjoying life on our property, which includes a pool and a beautiful setting. We all work very hard when we are on the clock to keep our business and property running smoothly - this is our livelihood and want to ensure it's success. It is crucial that you share the same passion and willingness to get the jobs done. Having said that, once work is done, we live in a beautiful area to explore and enjoy.
We're a relaxed, fun-loving family, looking for dedicated individuals, ideally males with relevant skills, for a fulfilling workaway experience, sharing our slice of paradise.

Accommodation
My house is small to medium sized. You will have your own bedroom with a queen size bed, desk, and cupboard. The room is 3x3m. Living would be in fairly close quarters so you would need to make sure that you are comfortable with this. There is however, lots of external areas where you can get plenty of privacy and find your own space.
There is a single modern bathroom with a large shower, free standing bath and toilet. This will be shared with myself and because we rely on our own water supply, use of the shower is preferred.
There is free wifi .
We are flexible with meals, with breakfast and lunch working on a self serve basis. We generally aim to have more of a plant based diet, but are definitely not limited to this. Evening meals are our time together, but you would be free to have yours alone. As we share the main meal together, we would like you to help share cooking duties. We are happy to accommodate any specific dietary requirements.
Food is provided by us.
What else ...
There is so much to do in the area. One can drive through ancient forest reserves, explore the stunning Border ranges parks, head down for whale watching and swimming at some of Australia’s best beaches. The clear blue waters and soft white sand are just so beautiful. We love to head down to the beach with our dogs.
There are lots of local villages with their respective watering holes, restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries, a distillery, tropical fruit world worth visiting in the immediate area.
For the younger and more energetic at heart there is the vibrant Gold Coast about an hour away.
We would offer you all the advice you need to explore and experience this amazing part of Australia.
