We are looking for a couple or two friends to stay for a couple of weeks or more if agreed. We are maintaining our property for sale and we need to keep in condition. There is work removing trees, tidying up the garden and removing debris from the fires and recent storms. There is also cleaning work helping Cate with property management.
During free time you are welcome to borrow our electric scooters and go swimming and exploring.
We live in Mallacoota, one of Australia's most beautiful places on the southeast coast.

Mallacoota is 540km from Melbourne, 630km from Sydney and 360km from Canberra with limited access via public transport so keep that in mind when planning your schedule.
Our family includes Mark, Cate and our three daughters, 22, 20 and 18. They are in school in Melbourne but come back regularly. There are also two dogs, a cat, at the moment several horses agisted, five ducks, a rooster and chickens (we sell the eggs locally). Kangaroos visit our property daily and koalas occasionally. Some parrots are now so tame at our bird feeder that they can be hand-fed.
