Her professionalism and ability to have fun in any situation is adaptable for any job.

If you want the true Australian experience, hangout on Mount Cotton with these two.

Ewen and Lesley are the absolute best. easily two of the nicest people we have come across. We could not have had more fun.

Laissé par l'hôte (Join our family rainforest ...) pour le workawayer ()

Nora and James spent 3 weeks with us in January 2026. We had a great time with them around the place. They are early risers, hard workers, and really keen to try new experiences and learn new skills. When they arrived we had only just moved the priority work back to the cottage restoration project. They were charged with the responsibility of… read more restoring the Western wall of the cottage. This involved replacing weatherboards destroyed by termites, scraping back years of paint, repairing fascias and soffits, gap filling, paint preparation, priming and top coating. They grabbed the job with both hands, worked well as a team and performed a fantastic job, with minimal supervision and a cheerful, we can do this attitude. Over the 3 weeks they transformed a derelict old wall into something to be proud of, that will stand the test of time for the next 20 years. (We hope they plan a trip back here by 2046 to touch up the paint). There were many other tasks they completed that are too extensive to list, but included, vehicle maintenance, road construction, creative construction utilizing PVC and other products, use of hand and power tools, and redesign and manufacture of a new improved mango picking stick and much more. Their contribution on the property is greatly appreciated.

On the social scene, apart from a concert they had booked before they arrived, we were able to include a day sailing on the bay, a fun filled evening of barefoot bowls, many evenings of yarns around the circle down at the barn, introductions to some extended family and friends, and many nights of card and board games. There was also an overlap with other workawayers from the UK and America where we all learnt new games to to keep us entertained. I learnt that Nora is very, very competitive, Quatro can be spelt differently , and Quarto is a very popular game.

Around the house they were always quick to jump in and assist with meal preparation and the clean up afterwards. Meal time was always fun with many an interesting life experiences discussed around the table. James and Nora have some amazing life stories to share and are a lot of fun to have onboard. We wish them safe travels and all the best for their ongoing adventures while they continue their travels around Australia. Hopefully they will again bless us with their company if they pass through our area again.
