    Description

    We are a family with one seventeen-year-old daughter and live in a historic bluestone cottage in the gorgeous village of MALMSBURY, just 1 HOUR from Melbourne on the train. Andy makes harps and marimbas and Polly teaches music at a local primary school. Sylvie is in year eleven and plays lots of music. We have a variety of jobs from gardening to cleaning, cooking for 4 hours per day in exchange for board and food. We love music from all around the globe and have spent time studying Latin American, African, and Celtic music. We have a lovely old rambling garden with a 100-year-old oak tree. We are a 20-minute walk away from the train station so you can explore the central Victorian goldfields.

    Our daughter is vegetarian (Andy and I eat meat) and we all love world food. We would love to learn and cook your favorite traditional dishes with you.

    Your accommodation is a good size bungalow off the courtyard. We would love to have you for at least 4 days or longer if it's the right fit.

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    As we are full-time musicians, we can share our music and help traveling musicians get to know the Australian Folk scene. The village where we live is small but has three great cafes, antique shops, a bakery, and an aussie pub, (all within walking distance), a train to Melbourne (10 minute walk from our house), and is very close to the Macedon Ranges bike and walking trails, Hanging Rock and the Central Goldfields. We have traveled to South America, U.S, Canada, and Ireland as a family in addition to solo travels from myself and Andy to India, Africa, and Europe.
    Our daughter Sylvie plays the violin and sings, I love a good honest chat about life, and Andy loves playing music with absolutely anyone. He is one of Australia's predominant folk harp makers and players. We play music together and in various local ensembles and we would love to share this with you if you're keen.

    Our garden needs some TLC...mulching, weeding, trimming, and if you have any landscaping or veggie gardening experience that could be very much appreciated. We also have an old picket fence that needs repairing.
