  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We would enjoy learning to talk a second language, Italian, French or German...but this is not necessary.
  You would have large parts of the day to explore the many mountain tracks.
  
  We live in one of the most beautiful regions in Australia- Bright Victoria- many restaurants, café, cinema, our town has so much to offer.

  Help

  We would like to host people from all cultures and religions- we are a curious and open minded family - and look forward to exploring all cultures and beliefs.
  People who enjoy the countryside, mountain air, mountain biking, hiking, cool swims in the river in summer and snow during the winter.
  We are looking for workways that enjoy- gardening, painting, cutting wood, washing linen or any similar household chores- Nothing is repetitive and we would never expect anything from you than we wont do. Sometimes you will be be doing a project or job solo, other times with Nick or Jolene. We would like to host people that can do tasks independently and take initiative with small projects.
  We are part of a wonderful small community and you will enjoy meeting like minded people,lots of cafes and social activities.
  
  We have paid help for things like cleaning and big gardening jobs, so its more the smaller day to day routine thats helpful.
