Rural living and hanging out with a rescue dog near Melbourne, Australia

Detalles

  Descripción

  We are in a beautiful rural area about 1.5hrs south-east of Melbourne, with train connections in nearby towns (Warragul, Drouin) about 20-25 min drive. Our home is on 5 acres of hilly bushland next to a forest, with stunning views. We keep chickens, ducks a cat, a dog and lots of wonderful plants.
  
  There are just us two middle-agers (50/60) living here on this peaceful place, in a simple, modern, comfortable home. We're active, outdoor types. I enjoy walking the dog, caring for the animals, yoga, music & dancing, catching up with friends, daytrips to the coast, or bushwalking or into Melbourne for some city action! He is into bike riding, sailing, tending the large garden and watching sport.
  
  The Gippsland area includes large forests, stunning coastline, lovely rural towns and lush farmlands.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We are caring, sociable people who would love to know more about you and your background, as well as share our lifestyle with you. We have done lots of travelling and I speak several languages and have lived abroad. You will have opportunity to experience a peaceful Australian home where you'll see many different birds, giant lizards called Lace Monitors, wombats, snakes and wallabies; but you'll also be not too far from our local towns and Melbourne is an easy day-trip by car or train. We are happy to take you to see the area, visit friends with us and generally facilitate your enjoyment and discovery of this part of Australia.

  Ayuda

  The main help requirement for you is just hanging out with the sweet and fun rescue dog, Maddie, who cannot be alone due to her separation anxiety...so while I go to work as a teacher three days a week, you would be keeping her company. Yes, it's a really great job, right?! She's well-behaved, gentle and loves to go for walks.
  
  There are a couple of ways we could arrange this - you ONLY care for Maddie, which entails being with her from 8am to 4 or 5pm three days a week. In this case, you would provide all or some of your food.
  
  Alternatively, you may choose to also help out with other tasks, such as gardening, cooking, basic housework and we will provide your food.

  We can discuss food arrangements - we're flexible. Most of our meals are vegetarian but we also have our own beef and sometimes chicken (raised and butchered here). We eat healthy, fresh food. You're welcome to do some or all your own meals with ingredients we provide, or eat what we eat.
