Description
Hi there!
I live on a fabulous rural property, 35 mins from the centre of Canberra in a small cottage with my gorgeous dog and a cheeky cat. Only 5 mins from the gorgeous village of Bungendore and 8km from the nearest winery, we are close to everything you need to enjoy the best that Canberra and surrounds has to offer and a place of fun and chilled out times. I run a very relaxed household on a property of some friends who live in the "big house" just down the driveway from the "little house" where I am located. The property has a fabulous organic vegetable garden, massive orchard and numerous other fruiting trees, magnificent views, chickens and ducks of which some still remember how to lay an egg! There is a lovely garden out the back if you like the outdoors with a firepit to keep us warm whilst enjoying a wine in the evenings as the nights grow cold.
I am looking for some able bodied helpers to assist with garden maintenance, harvesting and preserving, depending on the season. Weed control, gardening and general tidying/maintenance tasks are all possibilities. In return I can provide you with a comfortable camper trailer with queen innerspring bed, electric blanket and power with full access to the "little house" and all it's amenities as well as some or all meals, depending on how much help you want to contribute. Short stays of 1-2 weeks are preferred due to my work and other commitments although longer stays can be negotiated with the right person.
There is not much public transport available here but as I occasionally work in town I am willing to take in people without a vehicle from time to time if it fits my schedule. You will need to get in touch so we can arrange things.
Please get in touch. Would love to hear from you.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I love sharing with others, have travelled extensively and enjoy helping others learn English. Food is a passion so love to exchange recipes and ideas in the kitchen too, particularly utilising home grown or local produce which we pretty much live off here. I have much to share on what to see both locally and across Australia, particularly if you love nature and camping experiences. Preserving food, making soap and household products, crafts, plants, yoga and books - I have much to share with the right people.
