I PREFER TO HOST  TWO PEOPLE AT A TIME, 25 years +. My place is on TAMBORINE MT 1.6 acres growing fruit and vegetables. Rainforest area with 6 National Rainforest parks.  There is hangliding on the mountain, a high ropes challenge, a rock swimming pool (summer), rainforest walks. The Gold Coast Hinterland  where we are is 35 mins from beaches. Quiet area yet close to all amenities, shops, vineyards etc. I am a retired teacher having taught French, Japanese and E.S.L. Able to prepare students for I.E.L.T.S exam needed for work or study visa. Have hitch-hiked the world so familiar with many cultures. PROPERTY ELIGIBLE FOR SECOND WORK VISA .  Work includes, cutting back some small trees with small electric chainsaw and petrol driven brushcutter, weeding and tending to the vegetable garden.

Why I became a WWOOF Host

Having taught in many cultures, particularly in Japan and China I enjoy meeting people. No longer young, so I need help on my property! Have made lasting friendships with many past wwoofers and look forward to making more.
