Description
My family and I are life and fun loving people. We live close to Byron Bay on a large property surrounded by rainforest. It's Australian nature at it's best. You hear the bird singing, usually see wallabies and many other animals.
Our family consists of my son and his family including two little boys and myself as well as two beautiful horses and 2 lovely Burmese cats, our 'babies'. We love good food and will often share meals with you.
We are an international family from Germany, France, Canada and the US and are happy to help you learn English.
We would like help with gardening, trimming of bushes and trees, planting, weeding, taking care of horses and cats, maintenance of equipment outside and inside, as well as with cooking. And, if possible, help with my grandkids. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are an international family, but have been living in Australia for 30 years. Therefore we are especially able to help people with a different cultural background understand the cultural differences and specifics of Australia. Our focus is on the unique fauna and flora in this country and showing our guests the caring connection of Australians to the land.
