I'm seeking housesitters to mind my property for two weeks from 25 August. My property is 1.75 acres in rural-residential Glenwood - 35kms north of Gympie in south east Queensland. There is a three bedroom home with open living area and a large verandah overlooking the picturesque dam. At the back there is concreted entertaining area, a chook yard with two egg laying hens, rainwater tanks and a smaller dam. The front section of the block is partly garden with mostly native trees and shrubs and partly natural bush with tall gum trees. There are also two dogs - Miffie: a stumpy tailed Australian cattle dog bitch who is six years old and Zac: a large brown dog - he's five years old, large and lovable. Both are well behaved and they certainly love people and lots of company. So I require someone to maintain the house, care for and feed the dogs, chooks (and eat the eggs) water the garden if it doesn't rain, and relax on the verandah and watch the many native birds that hang around the feeder, bird bath and dam. If you are able to assist I'd love to hear from you - if not - perhaps another time. My home is a half hour drive from Tin Can Bay,Rainbow Beach, Maryborough and Gympie - one hour from Sunshine Coast and Hervey Bay - kangaroos and wallabies live in the surrounding bush and lots of wild birds come to the bird feeder and bird bath and there are usually ducks on the dam.
