  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The workaway would benefit from iving with an Aussi couple, from working in a garden that needs to be attuned to Australian condition, including especially any of the bush regeneration projects that we have.
  
  I am a volunteer coach in the sport of orienteering and both my husband and I like to do rogaining – a sport where, with a map and compass you visit check points in the bush. While these activities are more limited for me since my injuries, any workaway would be welcome to join us on any of these activities or any bushwalking activities we do.
  
  I am inspired to do this hosting after having meet a few workaways while travelling in Europe.
  
  For travelers, this workaway would an opportunity to stop in one place for a period, have reliable, safe accommodation, and get to know some friendly Aussie.

  Help

  We are a retired couple. We are interested in maintaining our home and our property so that it can be managed in the most environmentally friendly way. We would like to share that experience with perhaps a couple of travellers interested in this sort of thing. We would be requesting this assistance for about 2 or 3 weeks and see how it goes from there.
