  Descripción

  We (Paul and Robyn) are currently living in Ocean Shores in the Byron Shire. We also have 21 acres of land in Wilsons Creek (20 minutes away). Currently we are needing help with work in Wilsons Creek so will drive up there daily.
  
  We are looking for a single person (or a couple) as we don't have much space here.
  
  In Wilsons Creek there is endless rainforest regeneration work to be done, plus fence removal, orchard work, pruning, track clearing in the rainforest etc.
  
  We have recently become empty nesters, so we are looking forward to some fun and interesting company. We travel a lot (temporary back from Overlanding trip through Japan, Russia, Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan, and love sharing travel stories. We are in early 60s, but young at heart and in body :-). We love yoga, dance, art, table tennis, beach and bush walks, and good healthy food. We are members of the local bush walking club that does regular off track walks in the area. We often play table tennis at a club too. Paul is a builder, but only works on our place now, so has plenty of skills to share.
  
  Our house in Ocean Shores overlooks the lovely Water Lilly Park with its abundant birdlife, lake and tennis courts (we have racquets). We have a small vegie garden. It is 2 km to the glorious beach (we have bikes and surfboards). We are a short drive or ride to the newly opened and wonderful Tweed Valley Rail Trail - 26km, but there are other areas to cycle too - like to the lovely village of Brunswick Heads.
  
  The Wilsons Creek land has 500m of creek front with a swimming hole and edged by sub-tropical rainforests, with abundant wildlife and an established orchard. The valley is surrounded by national parks and home to wonderful diversity of plants and animals, including koalas, platypii, wallabies and lots more.
  
  We eat well, mostly vegetarian but also fish, chicken and meat. We are non-smokers but its ok if you smoke outside. Accommodation is in a room in our house with queen bed.
  
  We look forward to hearing from you if you are interested.
  
  The room is only available for February and the first three weeks of March, so we are hoping to have someone then.

  Alojamiento

  Our house in Ocean Shores is a standard 2 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms. Your room will have queen bed, and is at the other end of the house to our room, with its own bathroom.
  
  We eat very healthily, mostly vegetarian, but some healthy meats, eggs, and mostly organic. We can cook vegetarian for you, and possibly vegan. We are gluten free. Most of our food comes from the local weekly farmers markets, We would like to cook and eat together.

  Algo más...

  Our house is 5 minutes from Brunswick Heads, 10 minutes from Mullumbimby and 25 mins from Byron Bay. Its also only half an hour to the southern end of the Gold Coast, and 1 and 1/2 hours to Brisbane. You will probably need your own transport but you can also walk, cycle, and take the public bus.
  
  Time out can be spent relaxing on the deck overlooking the park, enjoying the sunshine, walks or cycles in the area, the beach, and exploring....
  
  We have enjoyed having WWOOFers for many years, and have been WWOOFers ourselves in the UK, France and Australia. We have also recently done Workaway in Japan, Mongolia and Kazakhstan. So we understand what it is like to be a volunteer, as well as the host.
  
  We like to live an eco friendly lifestyle, using recycled materials wherever possible, treading lightly on the planet, being conscious of the impact of our purchases and consumption, and reducing our waste as much as possible. We are also very community minded, being part of the local active landcare group.
  
  I didn't add the UN goals below, as all seem to apply.
