Details

  Description

  We are a family of 5 living on 3 acres in Glastonbury QLD, a beautiful farming area surrounded by mountains and forest. We are passionate about holistic health, well-being, sustainability and living as close to nature as possible. We love cooking, music, dancing, horse riding, nature walks, and we love learning about other cultures and languages.
  We have 2 dogs, 4 goats, 8 chickens and 2 horses.
  We live 15 minutes from the centre of Gympie, and a short drive from the Sunshine Coast. There is a lot to explore around the area including the Mary Valley, Sunshine Coast hinterland, Rainbow Beach, Maleny, Tin Can Bay, and more.
  We would love a Workawayer to help us around the house and property, to assist with gardening, general maintenance, building vege patches, planting fruit trees, helping with some building and projects on the property, and looking after our children when needed.
