Descrição
We have a 7 hectare bush block at the foot of the beautiful Blue Mountains region of NSW. We are a couple with three adult children and five grandchildren, and we are blessed to have them living close by. We have projects that include painting, gardening and ongoing fencing for a few sheep, goats and poultry.

We love our guests to enjoy our local area where we have lovely local bushwalks. The Blue Mountains are easily accessible by car or train and offer spectacular walking and hiking trails. This area is great for people who love the outdoors. We also offer a quiet, comfortable place to stay for people who want to rest from a busy travelling schedule.

Ajuda
We are looking for people to help us out around the property. We are keen to develop vegetable gardens and the land more generally. We also have some ongoing building and renovation projects that we would like help with. Our garden is evolving and due to the nature of our property there is also always cleaning and maintenance. No special skills are required and we are always very grateful for any assistance in these areas.

Our property is a bush block located 10 minutes from Lithgow, a town at the foot of the world heritage listed Blue Mountains region west of Sydney in New South Wales. Lithgow is on the Blue Mountains city link rail system to Sydney so day or weekend trips to the city are easily arranged. There are many walking trails close to our property and in the Blue Mountains.
