  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Sharing information and ideas between each other. We know about growing grapes,something about growing vegetables and fruits and a little about the natural world here. We are still learning and we would love to learn from you too. I can count to 10 in French, German, Tetum - and English! :-) Beth has been having some Italian lessons and is keen to practise more. It will be fun to learn a bit more - perhaps Spanish, Swahili or something quite different.

  WOW! It has been difficult for the last few years with the drought, and then Covid We have small crops of Shiraz, Petit Manseng and Montepulciano. A lot of the vineyard work is hands on. We have a vineyard, vegetable garden, and bushland that all require maintenance at times.
  We can talk with you about how much you do and what we offer in exchange.
  We will share evening meals. It is easier if you prepare your own breakfast. If you wish to prepare some of your favorite foods to share and teach us how to cook, then that is fun too. We like all types of food.
  There are always tasks to do such as vine management, mowing, vegetable gardening. We would like to build a small shed this year too.
  I would appreciate some help with computers / internet.

  In the warmer weather we can swim and canoe in the river (between September and April). We are quite close to several national parks (Girraween, Sundown, Boonoo Boonoo). The Granite Belt is a tourist area so there are plenty of places to visit and lots of great cafes etc.
