  Descripción

  We are a middle aged couple who live in a big old house on 5 acres, 27kms from Brisbane CBD in the pretty Samford Valley. Our place is surrounded by horse paddocks and is only 20mins away from some gorgeous subtropical rainforest walks at Mt Glorious and Mount Nebo.
  Mel (a geologist) works in the city 5 days so even though we don't have any public transport, you can tag along for some city outings as he can drop you at the train station, 15 mins away. We have a self contained 2 bedroom cottage with bathroom, kitchenette, and living room and a pool to cool off in summer. We would prefer non-smokers. Gluten free, vegetarians and vegans are most welcome and we eat meat as well. We would love you to join us for dinners in the evenings to chat about your travels and we would include you in community events when they happen.
  We need help in the garden planting trees around our pond, watering small plants whilst they become established and developing the veggie patch. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
  Our 2 boys are creative young adults. Josh (30) is a sound designer and lives in Iceland with his wife, Jof, and Sam (28) is an artist who lives about 15 minutes away at Mt Nebo with his Belgium wife, Xanna. We all love travelling and we enjoy meeting people from all corners of the globe to extend our understanding of the world. We are interested in sustainable living and new ideas. With your help we could really make some headway into producing more homegrown organic food for our table and improve our garden.

  It would be desirable to have your own transport as there is limited public transport to our house. Some of us use the train and car to travel to and from work so options to tag along are always possible. A car would also allow flexibility to enjoy the many coffee shops in Samford village and the surrounding towns like Dayboro, Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious. The beautiful beaches of the Sunshine Coast (north) and the Gold Coast (south) are about 1-2 hrs away and Byron Bay is about 2 1/2 hours away.

  We have 5 acres of land, 3 of which are flat and suitable for a van. We have 2 places with access to electricity and one tap closeby to provide water. The bathroom, living room and kitchen in the cottage would be yours to use too.

  It would depend what the pet was. We have neighbours with horses and no dog fencing so if your animal crossed through the fence and chased the horses that would not be good.
