I have a large home with an inground pool and an older female staffy that need a bit of company when I go away. There is a dishwasher and well equiped kitchen and I'd appreciate the garden and potted plants being watered as needed. The pool requires just a half cup of chlorine sprinkled in each day.
Bathurst has decent shopping and lovely parks and an art gallery and library. There are quite a few good reastaurants and cafes as well.
