Descrição
We are always in need of help gardening and various other outdoor chores on our 5 acre property in the bush. We work pretty long hours, so visitors have time to themselves to explore our beautiful environment with waterfalls on the local creek just 30 minutes walk away. Over 50 species of bird life have been spotted on our property. Resident wallabies, bandicoots and possums (if you're up at night). A bike can be provided however there is a bus at the door (1 morning and 1 afternoon service). Walking distance from the local village and railway station to Sydney or Blue Mountains stops. You are welcome to spend some time with Peter at his environmental education centre and help out with the worm farms, bush tucker, native plants and vegetable gardens. Huge selection of books of all genres available to read on the deck or in our private garden setting. All water is rainwater, solar powered home, wifi/cable ethernet, TV and a couple of streaming options available.

Bottom line - yes I would recommend Tracey and Peter as hosts.
I stayed with them for about a week and worked mostly in the garden on some projects as well as a bit of cooking. I was able to negotiate my hrs and communication was good throughout. Very homely, welcoming and interesting to talk to.
Thanks heaps.

Elia stayed with us for 1 week and was a great help in the garden, chopping and stacking wood. He also did some sanding and repairs to timber work in our rental. Elia cooked some very nice vegan meals which also included hosting a 5 person dinner party. He left his room clean and tidy. We wish Elia all the best in his travels.
