  Descripción

  We are 2 artists / graphic designers with 2 boys (aged 16 and 21)... 16 year old still lives at home. 21 year old lives in Melbourne but home some weekends. We live less than 1.5 hours from Melbourne in idyllic Hepburn / Daylesford. We love our rural area for the creative community and the laid back country lifestyle. We have two cats, one is getting older and wants lots of attention, they are both smoochy. We also have 9 chickens who provide us lots of eggs!

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We run an art gallery in Hepburn that hosts many artistic events throughout the year. Everything from art classes and yoga to exhibitions and group shows, movie nights and events for our 3 annual festivals (Chillout in March, Words in Winter in August, Swiss Italian Fest in October). We love it when people like to get involved in our local community and offer many ways that you can do this.
  
  We will be sharing our home with you, we lead a busy lifestyle heading to Melbourne & Ballarat each week for work here and there. We invite people who are happy to pitch in and join us in the many and varied things we do and are also happy to be left to do some gardening or other tasks on their own sometimes too!
