Descripción
Our quiet semi rural property is on the outskirts of Pomona, in the beautiful hinterland of the Sunshine Coast.
We are on a quiet cul-de-sac, bordering extensive bush land.
We have a beautiful separate living area for helpers, newly completed,
with small kitchen and private bathroom, overlooking the large dam & property.
We finished the lovely accommodations for our adult children & partners
and other occasional family & friends who visit from the UK & Europe.
We’ve met many lovely helpers through local friends who host and have been inspired to begin hosting.
Our local kangaroos graze by the windows each day, which which delights most visitors.
We have an extensive subtropical garden with a large collection of aroids, orchids, ferns & foliage.
I breed aroids and need help maintaining and managing the gardens & fruit and vegetable gardens.
I'm happy to involve helpers in learning how to breed, propagate, and grow these rarer plants in our subtropical microclimate. We make our own compost and activated biochar, and our beautiful garden is such a success due to investment in micronutrients,
understanding and introducing beneficial fungal and microbials, creating microclimates and habitat for native wildlife.
We'd really enjoy sharing our skills in the garden and we'd love help with some of the maintenance,
as well as sharing our skills with some of the more delicate tasks.
I'm also looking for help with videography and photography of the garden and my rare plants.
My Instagram account will give you a glimpse of what I grow and love.
Our property is rural but not remote, quiet but not cut off...we are about 90 mins from central Brisbane.
It's a nice relaxed 15 walk to Pomona, where there are plenty of shops and cafes, community activities,
and a thriving weekly market, train station & regular buses.
Noosa is about 25 minutes drive to the renown beautiful beaches.
Mount Cooroora is visible from our deck, and is an enjoyable climb for many.
Bushwalking, off road bike riding, etc are on the doorstep......and there are many local classes and groups...tai chi, pilates, yoga, etc
I'm in a wonderful community choir 🎶🎶 which welcomes visitors. One of my friends often brings HelpX visitors to choir.
There is a wonderful Acoustic Night regularly in Cooran (choir often performs) and local venues host a range of local music & cultural events.
Dhamma Rasmi, the Queensland Vipassana Centre borders our property, and the peaceful meditation centre is a haven for wildlife.
We can certainly arrange a tour for any helpers who'd like to visit.
We are a retired couple, relatively active, with no pets.
We lead a fairly local, quiet, outdoor life.
*Please note: we have no alcohol or recreational drugs on the property at all.
We can offer Homestay with or without meals; one of us is vegetarian, the other not...
We have a beautiful outdoor kitchen overlooking the garden.
Steve enjoys cooking and welcomes sharing the cooking.
We are looking for helper throughout 2025 and would welcome enquiries, especially for stays of 10 days to 3 weeks.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We live in a beautiful part of the world, the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, walking distance to Pomona and close to the gorgeous beaches of Noosa Biosphere. This area enjoys thriving local activities which we're happy to help Workawayers discover.
We've enjoyed helpers in the past, meeting younger people, (our adult children live in the UK) and sharing our skills and space for a simple exchange.

Alojamiento
Workawayers will have a beautiful separate living space with their own bathroom and small kitchen....
There is one Queen size bed, so this is suitable for a single person or couple.
We have a lovely outdoor kitchen and would expect to share a meal a day but assume most helpers would be happy with making their own breakfast and drinks etc.
We do not have any alcohol or recreational drugs on our property, and would need any helpers to respect this.
Algo más...
famous local beaches are 25 mins away;
the hinterland has many beautiful walking tracks, mountains to climb
Pomona has many activities, a weekly market, and is a 15 minute walk away
We are retired and live a slower paced life.....so we don't enjoy a night life but rather a very quiet life surrounded by bush & local wildlife
