  Descrição

  Hello!
  
  We are an easy-going, retired couple in our sixties who are looking for one or two non-smoking young people to help us with jobs around our property. This includes gardening, weeding, painting, window cleaning, house cleaning/organising, clearing undergrowth, mowing, help with small building jobs and maintenance, etc. Please tell us how you can help us!
  
  We live at Coomba Bay, NSW in a two storey home in a beautiful forested acreage with views over the spectacular Wallis Lake and backing onto a national park. Our profile picture is the view from our lounge room window at sunrise. There are many birds and other wildlife. You will have your privacy in your own room downstairs with lounge area, bedroom and your own bathroom. We live within an easy 20 to 30 minute drive to some amazing beaches, national parks and lakes. We are flexible with hours but looking for help 4 to 5 hours a day. We would love to get to know you and share meals with you.
  
  We are in an isolated rural area with limited public transport, however we usually go to Smiths Lake once a week or into the twin towns of Forster/Tuncurry weekly. You are welcome to come along with us. If you have your own transport you can be at some amazing beaches in 15 - 30 minutes (Blueys and Boomerang Beaches and Seal Rocks!). You are welcome to use our kayaks to paddle on any of the surrounding waterways.
  
  There is a daily bus service from Broadmeadow train Station in Newcastle or Taree station that comes to Smiths Lake and we can pick you up and drop you off if needed.
  
  There are local shops, cafes, etc at Charlotte Bay, Blueys and Smiths Lake about 20 minutes drive away. Our property backs on to Wallingat National Park and there are local bushwalking tracks and amazing views at our own lookout or from the lookout at Whoota.
  
  We live in the forest and really value our peace and quiet and ask that you do too. Please, no loud music or disturbance, especially late at night. We love to listen to the sounds of nature and want helpers that value that too.
  
  We are looking forward to meeting you and getting to know you.
  
  Yvonne and Craig.
