Escape the tourist route and explore the natural beauty of Wonga Beach, Australia

  Description

  Far North Queensland is a popular area for tourists from all over the world, but few get to experience it as a local. Come and join me in the quiet beachside suburb of Wonga Beach. One and a half hours drive north of Cairns, 20 minutes to the closest town, Mossman.
  Share my modest three-bedroom home with myself and two well behaved dogs, Jackie and Ruby. I have a large backyard vegetable garden.
  I am involved in the local community art gallery (classes available) and attend weekly belly dancing classes. We can explore swimming holes and rainforest hikes in the surrounding area together. Craft and produce markets in Mossman every Saturday.
  I am ex-pat Canadian who has lived in Australia for 20 years. In my younger years I travelled overseas doing volunteer farm work.
  Females or couples preferred.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Experience this tourist hot spot from a local perspective. Camp fires at the beach, swim in pristine waterholes, eat fresh fish, wake up to tropical bird song. Learn about permaculture style gardening in the tropics, and positive re-enforcement/games-based dog training. Attend classes at the local art gallery or join me at belly dancing class.
