Description
I live in a rural university town, so there is often a bit more happening culturally than in towns this size. It's quite a multicultural community, partly due to the uni.
Armidale is about half way between Sydney and Brisbane, on the New England Tablelands. About 1000m altitude, so nicely cooler than other places around.
I work part-time for an agroecological community NGO. Although there may be potential for volunteering through my work at times I would like some help around home, gardening etc, maybe cooking if you like to, possibly a bit of pet-sitting.
I've been a workawayer while travelling myself and met some lovely people. I would like to return the favour, seeing as I'm grounded for a while.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Visit local attractions, rivers, waterfalls, bushland & bushtucka walks, countryside drives, potential farm visits on occasion. Live music, whatever is on in town at the time.
English (Australian) practice.
Hope to exchange ideas, enjoy conversations and learn about places I might want to visit one day.
Help
General help around the house and yard, gardening, mowing, cooking, washing up, whatever you feel you can help with. I'm flexible with what help I require.
Possibly help with tree planting or nursery work.
Ability to work independently and unsupervised is a must.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
Accommodation is in a small 2 bedroom 1950's ex-housing commission cottage in a quiet residential neighbourhood.
A single room with a double bed, linen and towels provided. Shared bathroom, lounge and kitchen.
I enjoy cooking and eat largely unprocessed vegetable-based food, trying to add kangaroo meat or chicken a few times a week.
What else ...
There is a train here from Sydney once a day. Flights to and from Sydney and Brisbane. Buses north. Not a lot of public transport options. I'm usually able to pick up from the station etc.
