Description
Keen to learn and do something different daily? If that's you, please contact us.
We are friendly and warm, love people and working alongside with you. We believe in give and take and treating people well. We do need help as we are two retired folks but not "oldies". Our children and grandchildren live far away so we go for "temporary adoption" of young people. We are the odd couple; Ozzie and Asian, interesting backgrounds and love a good joke and are experienced travellers.
Project?
We need help in painting and some general maintenance. We just need ONE DILIGENT, CREATIVE HELPER ( or two ) . Its pleasant work with the natural bushland only metres away.
The other project is to clean up the big shed which has too much stuff. We want to sell our unneeded stuff online and assist with photography and items cleanliness.
You can hike to beautiful spots along the coastline. Camp in nearby National Parks and reserves. We live in Gulmarrad, New South Wales close to Maclean, Yamba, Illuka, Angourie and Broomshead beaches.
The area has huge rivers, lakes, islands and wonderful climate, white sandy beaches not far away. Surfing ,fishing and bush-walking are available in your leisure time. So much to do and no one has been bored yet!

Autres infos...
Our home is in Gulmarrad, 5 mins to Maclean, Yamba (18km), Brooms Head (14km) and Byron Bay (120km). 2 hours away from Gold Coast. Maclean celebrates their Scottish heritage by having a great Easter show of bagpipes, parades and markets. Christmas is fun here like in Byron Bay only less crowded. Grafton has Jacaranda Festival in mid October until November, if you like purple trees!
Gulmarrad is accessible to state forest reserves and national parks and camping areas. Best fishing spots as well as scenic places. Surfing and sand boarding. Whale watches and dolphins! So you will have a look at farms, towns, beaches and real Aussie lifestyle.
Weather wise, its nice and warm. For tourist activities, look at Visit Clarence Valley, NSW. There are also lots of market gardens, lovely Saturday and Sunday markets, art galleries and local wild-life. Swimming, surfing, water rafting, river ferry cruises, bush walks, coastal walks, wild bird-life and many natural activities. Yamba is just 25 minutes away and Byron Bay is one and a half hours away.. Our secret beach is less than 20 minutes away.
WE REALLY WANT A HELPER AND NOT Laze-abouts. Those with a bit of building and general maintenance and gardening skill will do well. If you are helpful and eager to do the chores and learn, its ok! We'll love to teach you. We do get away for short trips and week-ends and you are welcome to join us. Bush camping!! Caravaning! 4 WD off road. Boating! Fishing! Koalas in the wild sightings!
You can learn Mandarin and Malay/Indonesian and English from us. Learn Asian cooking and Aussie dishes.
You can choose to come by many ways, air, train, bus coaches or car. Details provided when you want to come. Look at Australian map before you come. Any questions, I am happy to answer. No worries.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Sammy)
We appreciate Sammy who has helped us with many chores which we would have found hard to do without some assistance. He was willing to work hard and also knew how to enjoy and play hard. He was easy going and have a desire to travel to the outback of Australia. Happy travels Sammy!

Wonderful to host these guys. They are hard-working, helpful and great fun. We wish they can stay back but they got to go north. They are skillful and hands-on with the work on shed building and loved working outdoors. So thankful to have their help without which we would not have accomplished so much in so little a time. Awesome fellas!

Joe is always happy and a willing worker. Nothing was a problem to him, no task too small or menial or poses a problem. We enjoyed having him around and so did our neighbour whom he helped out with a wonderful workawayer spirit. We do wish to have him back if possible...one day.

Beeing with Ling and Barry was great fun. Both are openminded and love to get to know people from other countries. Locaded just 5 Minutes away from the beach it feels like beeing on holidays, with a good mixture of work and free time. Was a great experience meeting them both!

Thomas is a real talker...sociable and is willing to learn. He spent his 2 weeks helping us paint the outside posts and blue doors, trailer and some parts of the truck. He also learnt some concreting and wiring electrical brakes for the trailer. All's good! He is welcome back to help us with the yacht's refurbishing carpentry!
