Descrição
Annette, Kim and Blue (the dog) live in a spacious free-flowing home, surrounded by trees. It is a quiet, leafy suburb about 15 minutes by public transport from the Brisbane CBD. Brisbane is a lovely city that offers a relaxed lifestyle with everything within a short walk or a bike ride away – libraries, galleries, theatres, parks, climbing cliffs, the river and cafes.
We live a healthy life and love the Workaway community for how it has connected us with some wonderful people —many of whom have become friends that we stay in touch with. Annette loves yoga and Kim loves to share his knowledge of birds and plants.
We always have a home project or two on the go. The win-win nature of Workaway exchange allows us to achieve some really valuable things while enjoying a cultural exchange with travellers along the way.
Our current project involves working outside - tidy up gardens and yard, relocating pavers, removing weeds, prepping an area for new stepping stones. We will work together on some things, while on other tasks, we will give you some instruction then leave you to it. Will be good work for someone who is fit and able and likes being outside.
It is an advantage if you have Workaway feedback on your profile.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
We offer openness to others from all backgrounds and have hosted exchange students and travellers over the years. All visitors have had a great time, and keep up the connections long after their stays. As avid travellers and hikers within Australia and New Zealand, we are well resourced with real experiences of much of Australia and NZ to share with you.
You are welcome to join us on day trips to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, as we regularly walk in the bush or go to the beach.
Ajuda
We have a lovely home that is regularly cleaned but needs some "deeper" spring cleaning. If you like to (inside) dust, wipe, sweep, brush, scrub (occasionally), wash, soak, hang out to dry, fold, tidy, declutter … or (outside) pull weeds, sweep paths, trim plants, dig holes, clean walls with a pressure hose, sand and varnish furniture, tidy the shed .... and you find this to be a very satisfying way to spend a few hours each day, you will be likely be happy at our place.
You then sit back in one of our lovely living spaces and enjoy the results, or head off to the city for some adventures.
It's important that you are proficient with cleaning and tidying and organising, self-motivated, and autonomous with your tasks and your time-off.
We always strive to give our Workawayers a positive cultural experience. We are interested in you and your ambitions and interests, and we make sure you leave enriched from your experience of staying with us.
So, if you are good at cleaning and tending to home maintenance, if you love healthy food and sustainable living, please apply.

Acomodação
We offer a separate, light-filled, well-ventilated room, on the upper level, overlooking the back garden. Furnished with a double bed and desk. It has an adjoining bathroom, for your exclusive use. We cook mostly vegetarian food, but do also eat meat about once a week. We shop weekly at an organic farmers market and the quality of our food is exceptional. Vegetarians and vegans love our food. But if you are a flexible eater, I am sure you will enjoy our (mostly) plant-based diet.
Algo mais...
Time off options are really unlimited. There is so much to do in and around Brisbane. Our public transport system is very efficient and inexpensive. We have bush walking options, Toohey Forrest and Whites Hill Reserve (offering regular koala sightings) within a small walking distance from our home. A short bus ride will take you to South Bank for swimming, open air movies, food and buskers.
Previous visitors have loved the ease of access.
