Description
We are a family of 5 living on half an acre of bush and gardens 20 minutes from Brisbane CBD. We home school our 3 girls who are 12, 15, 18 years old. We are a creative household and like to host events like house concerts in our backyard or woodworking workshops for young people. Our home is on the edge of the city and within 5 minutes drive of a beautiful dam for swimming and State Forest for walking in. We also have a bus stop outside our door to get you into the city and back. We would love some help with light house work, gardening, event organisation and also Japanese language skills.
