Welcome to stay for a week or so and help in the garden and the house if you like.

Hey guys,
Is there a carpenter/builder or handyman out there who could help me put up a bamboo screen . 3 m long and 1.8 high.
Need to be able to sink 3 posts and concrete them in. Also some help in the garden.
Must be able to cook , as we will rotate preparation of the evening meal. Other meals are ‘ help yourself ‘ style.
I live in a cosy village 25 km outside Sydney. I have kayaks, bikes and swimming pool.
Call Ruth - ask me for the number

Nice experiece with Ruth, I stayed 5 weeks gardening, cooking and taking care of the animals. We did a lot of kayaking in the creeks, some hikkings and the very playful and crazy dog was on her own a really physical activity ! Thanks to a lodger who had a big shed I have been able to do some work on my car.

I spent a lovely 3 weeks at Ruth's place where I really felt like home. It was my first time in Australia as workawayer and at the beginning I was a little bit nervous. She make me feel very comfortable. The work to do was various: gardening, painting... and the accommodation was just great. I would highly recommend Ruth as welcoming host.

Paul is a very skilful carpenter. He worked on a pool fence for council compliance & did a very beautiful job.
Thanks so much Paul, you were a very pleasant guest to have in the house.
It was fun taking you kayaking as well. Glad we got to see your first kangaroo at the same time too.
Best wishes for the rest of your time in Australia. Ruth

I was also able to take the car or the bike during my free time.
