About the workproject

We need 2 volunteers

We live on 2.5 acres just outside the township of Maleny being up in the hinterland from the Sunshine Coasts beautiful beaches.
We are near the completion stage of building a new home on the property and need a lot of help fixing up the gardens, building retaining walls and creating so outdoor decks to enjoy the abundance of birdlife and other creatures that visit.
We will move into the new house in late April and then we will have a small cottage for the right Hovo to live in, in exchange for labour and wisdom for about 2-months.

You will need to have either landscaping experience or building, carpentry experience.
You can be a couple or a couple of friends who are not into partying but rather seeking adventure and nature. We have great rainforest walks nearby that are only found in this part of the world.

My partner, Annie, and I have been together for 22 years. We lived in Sydney until 2011 and then relocated to Agnes Water QLD before moving to Maleny in 2015 and we anticipate to be on this property for the remainder of our functional lives.
I used to work as a Change Manager in the corporate sector, yet my desire to leave the rat race found me modifying my career path.
Annie is an awesome self taught gardener and loves to create new art projects in the garden and on the walls in the toilet.
I too love being in nature and feel very connected to life when out of the busyness of city life.
